Although on the small side, they seemed like they'd be great little ice cream dishes...
...however, on this occasion, I decided to use them as placecard holders instead.
Lemons seemed like the perfect choice for a table accessory and centerpiece so I rounded up a bunch of the faux variety.
Faux greenery was run the length of the table with more lemons scattered throughout.
I added battery operated mini lights.
Pink, yellow and white dishes coordinate with the centerpiece...
...and were placed on a white placemat atop a yellow tablecloth.
A pink/white checked table runner coordinates with...
...the napkins which were dressed up with a floral napkin ring and some extra greenery.
My amber stemware await the beverage of choice. Lemonade anyone? :)
I always like to add little embellishments to the placecard holders like the sprigs of greenery and this coordinating lemon.
Three glass jars serve to hold some of the lemons but you could also just have the lemons tucked in the greenery down the length of the table.
Additional little dishes and extra daisy napkin rings were used in the centerpiece greenery as well.
Pink & yellow are the perfect colours for a summer time ladies luncheon.
If you are entertaining this summer and are looking for a theme for your table, lemons are a great choice!
You can use the real thing or the faux variety.
Thanks for visiting!

Lori, I adore this table and every single thing about it! The flatwear is beautiful! Love using lemons as part of a table decor. My first thought when looking at this table was Pink lemonade. Everything looks so nice. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteLove your lemon tablescape. I especially love your place card holders. Looks so summery.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those individuals who has great intentions and poor execution. As I looked at your charming pink and yellow table, I realized that somewhere in my vast collection of dishes and fu-fu I have several items purchased with this color scheme in mind. You have encouraged me to begin the great hunt to find those items in my too large “stash” and plan a pink and yellow summer luncheon. So, thank you for the “nudge”. I love your idea to introduce lemons in the tablescape, and I too like to add something special at each place setting. You created a perfect summer table. MM
