There’s something subtle yet fabulous about incorporating organic elements like fruit into wedding decor, which we saw yesterday with the strawberry bouquets. As summer gets closer, citrusy flavors and accents are definitely in, especially lemons and limes. We love the ideas of incorporating these bright, colorful fruits into everything from the centerpieces to the cake.
Decorating with lemons and limes is SO easy. Stick them in a clear vase with some flowers, sliced or whole, and you’ve got a beautiful centerpiece in an instant!
