Today Dishing: When Life Gives You Lemons......

In a previous blog, I referenced establishing lemons as the theme for my daughter’s wedding. We chose lemons because she has an unusual affinity for them. It proved relatively easy to carry this theme throughout the reception. Because pictures are worth a thousand words, let’s allow the pictures to tell the story.

Selecting yellow bridesmaids dresses was  a no-brainer once we decided on the theme. Bouquets of yellow roses and white hydrangea adorned the staircase at Midlothian Country Club.

Yellow roses provided a lemon look-a-like effect on the tables which also complimented real lemons in silver Paul Revere bowls.

                                                
                                      

Lemon trees serve as the  focal point for the room.

                                                                        

                                                      



                                                                          

Whimsical elegance was achieved with yellow and white chevron  menu cards on silver charger plates.

                                      


After racking our brains for a table number display we had a “duh” moment when finally thinking of the obvious choice of lemon drops.



                                

So life gave us lemons which in turn added some real life to this most special of occasions.
