Summer is here, and if you need a fresh party idea or theme for your seasonal celebrations, then you can't go wrong with lemons! I've teamed with a couple of French brands , for a super sweet collaboration to showcase their brand new lemon themed designs and paper goods, and I can't tell you how much I loved it! 🍋
Last year, I created a bunch of lemon themed posts here for the blog , but did not have time to style a tablescape. So I decided to style this lemon table this year, with a modern farmhouse vibe and using props and decor I already had at home. I wanted to create an easy table decor that was pretty and fresh, and that would be perfect for any celebration that summer brings, no matter how small. Here are some of my zingy ideas below!
Summer is nearly upon us, and this no-bake key lime pie is the answer to all your dessert needs! This key lime pie recipe is SO easy and quick to make, requires NO baking and only requires 5 ingredients! I've made this key lime pie also as parfaits or individual cups, which works just as well and is super practical , not to mention dainty, to serve at any family gathering or any event you may be hosting this season!
Last year, I shared quite a few lemon theme party DIYs, crafts and recipes here on the blog , and I fell in love with the theme! Now that the warmer weather is here, I thought I'd share some easy DIY decor ideas that you can use to decorate a table, your mantel, patio or terrace for the summer. I'm currently crushing on the modern farmhouse style and have been making quite a few fun DIYs and crafts over on my YouTube channel (which I do not post here on the blog), so be sure to subscribe to my channel so you don't miss a thing! 😉
Following on from our lemon themed party , today I'm sharing the super pretty, but oh-so-easy-to-make lemon decorated cookies I made for that event. Sugar decorated cookies is another of my passions, but as much as I love a detailed cookie design, most often I'll try to simplyfy the techniques to make the decorating part more fun (and quicker)! 😉
If you follow the blog, you probably have noticed the lemon themed posts lately , hence today's lemon shaped mousse. I made this mousse a few weeks ago in view of shooting it for the lemon party I shared last week . But this is one of those desserts that deserves its own post! This lemon and white chocolate mousse is so delicious, light and refreshing, not to mention super pretty due to its charming lemon shape. Therefore, I'm naming it "best dessert of the summer"! 😊
I'm currently working a photo shoot for a French brand around lemons, so I'm obsessed with the theme! Needless to say, I've also been baking quite a bit of lemon flavored treats, hence today's Lemon Ombre Cake with Lemon Curd Filling . You're welcome! 😁 This lemon ombre layer cake is perfect for so many summer parties. Think themed birthdays, bridal or baby showers, or a simple summer dessert to wow your family and friends with!
Come Spring we find ourselves eating more and more outside, like for the fiesta party we shared last week. And there's nothing I like best than evening meals in the patio, surrounded by flickering candles to set the mood! Bonus points if your candles look mega original and smell subtly fruity! ;)
If you follow me on Instagram , you'd have seen that I'm really into my party cocktails ;) But, I also enjoy a refreshing, non-alcoholic drink in summer. Something healthy, delicious, easy and quick to make, and that I can whip up quickly for the whole family. And ice tea ticks ALL them boxes!
I know summer is over, but we can reminisce, right? :) This stunning Lemon Party by the gorgeous, talented Mindy and Crystal over from Creative Juice , was sent in to us a while back and I apologize again to them for not posting it sooner! BUT, I'm sure all our fabulous southern hemisphere readers will appreciate this "seasonal" treat even more, right?! ;) Check out the gorgeous details below...
As I take the rest of the summer off to work on a few exciting projects (including Bird's Party Magazine ) and enjoy spending time with my family, I thought it'd be very appropriate to leave you with a few images from a recent Summer in Provence photo shoot I styled and photographed for Celebrations at Home!
