One of the fun parts of planning a wedding is going on Pinterest and searching for ideas on color schemes, table decor, and the like. You may have seen that Citrus has become a more popular element in party planning and can add a bright and cheerful feeling to any atmosphere.
If you’re looking for ways to incorporate citrus in your wedding somehow, there are many ways to go about it!
1. Cake
Whether it’s on the inside or outside, citrus can easily be incorporated into your wedding cake. Small tangerines and lemons can be used to decorate the beautiful tiers.
Additionally, if you’re having a summer wedding, how lovely would a fresh lemon cake taste? If you’re looking for a more subtle look or flavor, see how a light set would look on a traditional white wedding cake.

Consider making your stationery for your invitations or save the dates be shades of orange, or have your menu and name cards be gorgeous yellows. Your tablecloths, napkins, bridesmaids, dresses, and more are all opportunities to add a bounce of color to your big day.
3. Craft Up Cocktails
Do you love citrus flavors? Are you getting married somewhere where citrus is a big deal and want to be sure to celebrate it?
Think about serving citrus-based cocktails for you and your guests. Lemon, lime, and orange slices are also beautiful garnishes to throw on top of any beverage. Don’t forget the lemonade or limeade for any non-drinkers!
4. Snack Time!
If you’re having kids as guests at your wedding and are considering putting together a little activity bag for them, consider throwing in a couple of tangerines.
These are great snacks that children and adults can enjoy throughout the day, especially if some of your guests have done a lot of traveling to get to your venue.
5. Table Decor
Because of the beautiful colors of citrus, they make great items to add to your tables for decoration.
Whether you throw a couple of oranges and lemons together in the middle of the table or have a dried slice of blood orange attached to each name card, these naturally pretty elements are sure to be a hit.
Not to mention, they’ll provide a great fresh aroma!
6. Mix With Flowers
Another idea for your dinner tables at the reception is to get a bowl, gather your favorite forms of citrus, then stick in some coordinated fresh flowers.
This will create a unique alternative to a traditional floral arrangement and will coordinate wonderfully with any other citrus ideas you add to your wedding.
Speaking of flowers, you can also consider mixing citrus in your bouquet!
7. Just A Little Tree
Small potted citrus trees are another great decor idea. They can be placed around the edges of the room, tent, or venue, and if they are small enough, they can even be placed on the dinner tables as fun centerpieces.
You could also consider making these plants your party favors, allowing your guests to take home a reminder of your special day and plant it in their garden to grow.
How do you feel about making citrus a part of your wedding decor?
