Freshly Squeezed.

When your party’s theme revolves around lemonade, a freshly-squeezed version of the drink is a must. For this first birthday, local vendor Surfin’ Lemons was set up to provide guests with the delicious drink all day long! Yellow striped straws, branded cups, and bright florals were used to decorate the bar.

Sweet Treats.

A vintage style, multi-level garden cart was used to display the birthday girl’s cake and other sweet treats. Styling your dessert setup is one of the easiest ways to embrace your theme in multiple areas of the party. The same floral and balloon elements were incorporated into this display.

Unique Finishing Touches.

Décor elements throughout the backyard gathering featured a predominately pink and yellow color scheme. An innovative take on garland, real lemons were strung together and intentionally placed within the main balloon display. Adding pops of baby’s breath made for the perfect finishing touch.

parting words

There’s really nothing better than cooling down from the South Texas heat with an ice cold glass of freshlysqueezed lemonade. That’s certainly one of the reasons a lemonade theme for your summertime gatherings is always a good idea. Plus, this nostalgic libation’s imagery features a fun color palette to work with, which makes party planning even better! xo, Jo
