Why Lemons Work for Wedding Tablescapes

Lemons are more than just a pop of colour. Their sunny yellow hue brings energy and freshness to your décor, while their natural shape adds organic texture. They’re perfect for:

  • Rustic summer weddings
  • Mediterranean-inspired celebrations
  • Bright, playful tablescapes

Plus, they’re versatile, you can leave them natural, slice them for a layered look, or add a touch of glamour.

Lemon Décor with a Twist

Take lemons from simple to show-stopping by adding creative touches:

1. Gold Disco Lemon Shine

Coat lemons in edible gold shimmer to make them truly sparkle. These golden accents catch the light beautifully, giving your tables a glamorous, high-impact finish.

2. Mini Citrus Centerpieces

Combine lemons with fresh greenery, small blooms, or candles to create mini centerpieces. These are perfect for adding visual interest without overcrowding the table.

3. Lemon Place Cards

Write guest names on lemons using a metallic pen for a playful, personalised touch. Not only does this act as a place card, but it also doubles as a stylish take-home favour.

4. Stacked Lemon Towers

Arrange lemons in small, decorative stacks or pyramid formations as part of your tablescape styling. Add gold or silver accents for a festive, celebratory feel.


Styling Tips

  • Pair lemons with white linen or natural wooden tables for a fresh, clean look.
  • Combine with bold colours like deep green foliage or bright flowers for contrast.
  • Use edible shimmer or metallic accents to add glamour while keeping it playful and fun.
