Life Gives You Lemons: Make Lemonade

by onewhitedress on 20/05/10 at 8:49 am

According to the tale ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’… My theory is ‘two hundred citrus in one day keeps the Bride at play’! This sophisticated variety of fruit, with it’s vivid warm tones and crisp fragrance are the perfect decorating tool for a fun and lively Wedding theme.

Lemons, Oranges and Grapefruits; each with their own natural colour inside and out can be used in a variety of ways to influence the concept of a Wedding. Try the less is more approach with minimal bursts of sunny Lemon Yellow throughout a predominantly White affair. Or go all out and coordinate the day with lashings of fresh fruit and flowers to match. Keeping in the same tonal palette, bold sunny blooms accentuate the citrus. Try Daffodils, Jonquils, Ranunculus or Orchids for maximum effect. Bridesmaids can also follow suit in suitably citrus shades.

Set outdoors amongst the crisp sunny air, this Wedding theme takes advantage of what nature has provided. Not only an effective and eye-catching concept but also an affordable and easy way to use what is an everyday food item and turn it into visual gold. As the old saying goes ‘When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade’ and what better way to do that than on your Wedding day. ♥
