Add a splash of citrus to your summer time nuptials with these grapefruit inspired wedding ideas! This chic affair is set with a palette of soft pinks and oranges, subtle hints of copper and gold and made complete with an elegant DIY centerpiece, DIY place card and a DIY grapefruit cocktail favor that quickly brings this fruity inspiration to life!
We love taking unlikely inspiration from nature and transforming it into decor that leaves guests in a state of awe and admiration. That's why we absolutely adore this grapefruit inspired wedding we styled.
The Place Settings:
Each gorgeous place setting began with a pink textured serving tray; which was the perfect size to be used as a charger.
They were topped with white elegance dinner and dessert plates with rose gold edging that held our DIY Grapefruit Place Card.
Grapefruit slices were dried and gilded with gold foil along with a eucalyptus leaf that was detailed with each guest name.
A mini, square deep dish sat on top of the grapefruit slice with a refreshing grapefruit inspired amuse bouche for each guest.
We served our signature grapefruit cocktail to compliment the evening's theme in gold stem champagne flutes. The stems were painted copper to complement the rose gold cutlery used at each setting.
The Table Decor:
A silver dollar eucalyptus leaf garland was used as a simple yet lovely table runner that truly allowed our DIY Citrus and Floral Centerpiece to shine.
We created the centerpiece by drying sliced grapefruit and gilding it with gold foil then using two similar sized bowls to encase the grapefruit so it could be showcased.
We added in some greenery, faux florals and fresh grapefruit to complete the look.
The centerpiece was surrounded by more gilded grapefruit slices and two gorgeous blush vases filled with faux florals from the blush floral bouquet.
Copper candle holders held light pink taper candles adding the perfect touch of romance to the table.
The Bar Cart:
A modern gold bar cart was outfitted in another silver dollar eucalyptus leaf garland detailed with more flowers from the blush floral bouquet and additional gilded grapefruit slices.
It was also home to our grapefruit adorned wedding cake and our DIY Cocktail Favors.
A refreshing mix of grapefruit juice, vodka and lemon lime soda was housed in adorable miniature swing top glass favor bottles and decorated with our Free Printable Thank You Tags with gold foil backing and thematic details.

Two gold hoops with peach floral accents and a gold wreath with silver dollar eucalyptus were decorated with additional flowers and glittering grapefruit and used as a backdrop for both our table and the bar cart.
