Real lemons do a lot of the work, so the look comes together quickly.

Palette and backdrop

  1. Pair lemon yellow with leaf green and white for a fresh, balanced look.
  2. Add a touch of cobalt blue for an Amalfi Coast twist.
  3. Build a balloon garland in yellow, white and green with paper lemon leaves.
  4. Hang a striped fabric backdrop behind the dessert table.

Table decor

  1. Fill clear vases with whole lemons and top with white flowers.
  2. Use a yellow gingham or striped tablecloth as the base.
  3. Scatter lemon halves and leaves down a runner.
  4. Tie napkins with twine and tuck in a lemon leaf.

Tableware and florals

  1. Use blue and white plates for a Mediterranean feel.
  2. Serve drinks in a glass dispenser filled with lemon slices.
  3. Combine white roses, daisies and lemon branches in arrangements.

Food displays

  1. Set up a lemonade bar with flavoured syrups and fresh mint.
  2. Display lemon cupcakes and tarts on tiered stands.
  3. Label dishes with lemon-shaped tags.

Lighting and budget hacks

  1. Hang yellow paper lanterns and warm string lights for evenings.
  2. Print free lemon artwork for signs and invitations.
  3. Buy lemons in bulk and reuse them in drinks after the party.

Tip: Use warm LED string lights and battery tea lights near paper lanterns, florals and fabric backdrops rather than open flames, and keep any extension leads outdoor-rated and away from drinks stations. Wash lemons before slicing them into drinks.
