THE COLOR STORY

Five colors.
Your own balance.

Use one or two as the foundation and let the others appear in smaller details.

Screen colors vary. Check fabric, paper, and flower samples together in the light where you will use them.

Dark olive

Cream anchors the linen and plates, lemon and orange appear in fruit and flowers, and leaf green runs through the setting; dark olive could give paper strong contrast.

BRING THE FEELING INTO THE ROOM

Bright and easy, with a generous welcome and something cool to drink.

A shaded garden terrace, countryside dining space, or indoor room opening onto a courtyard.

01

The table

Use natural cream linen and simple plates, with small citrus arrangements between pale flowers. Keep fruit clear of place settings and service routes.

02

The flowers

Ask for flowers that hold up in the expected conditions. Keep arrangements out of direct sun and confirm when they will be set out.

03

The drinks

Make cool water easy to find and refill. Give alcohol-free choices the same thoughtful presentation and clear labels as every other drink.

04

The paper

Use dark olive text on cream with a small yellow or orange border. A bright palette still needs readable menus and directions.

MAKE IT WORK FOR YOUR LIFE

A look you can
make your own.

For a small lunch, colorful napkins and a few stems will do. Across more tables, repeat these details and spend first on shade and service.

Leave room for what matters.

Build the menu around foods and drinks you enjoy, and make room for your own customs rather than letting the citrus idea dictate the day.

01

Spend where it shows.

Use rented plain tableware and bright napkins; buy only the fruit needed for a few arrangements and agree its use afterward.

02

Make comfort part of the plan.

Offer shaded seating throughout, easy water access, and a cool indoor space people can use without leaving the celebration entirely.

03

Before you commit.

  • Check where shade falls at the actual meal time.
  • Confirm an indoor option for uncomfortable weather.
  • Plan cool storage and serving arrangements with the caterer.
  • Assign someone to keep water stations stocked.
