Spring and summer are two of the prettiest times to get married. The weather is warmer and you can host your wedding ceremony outside. But hosting outside means you run the risk of your guests getting hot and thirsty! So today I am going to show you how to create a wedding lemonade stand so your guests remain comfortable throughout your outdoor ceremony.

To create the perfect ceremony lemonade bar you first need a simple table. I highly recommend a table with drawers so that you can arrange glasses in them. You want to make the beverages as easy to access as possible so that guests can grab a cool drink and quickly sit down in their seat.I chose to keep the color palette of my ceremony lemonade bar simple and bright. By using yellow, white, and pops of gingham this display is given a warm, summery feel. I wrapped a lemon garland around my table and included yellow gingham napkins throughout.
I filled two beverage dispensers with organic lemonade and pink lemonade. I then created yellow gingham labels for my beverages which were displayed on mini easel place card holders painted yellow. You can get the free yellow gingham printables here. I highly suggest offering at least two different types of lemonade for your guests so they have options. To add height, I displayed the beverage dispensers on a white cake stand and a wooden crate which I also painted yellow.
Ball Mason jars add the perfect casual feel to this lemonade bar. I included pint mason jars with pink polka dot straws in the drawers and lower level of my lemonade bar. Prepping the glassware by adding straws makes it easy for guests to grab their drink and go. I filled quart Ball Mason jars with Baby's Breath and little yellow Button Pom flowers. The white and yellow of the floral arrangements add the perfect pop against the bright yellow of the lemonade bar.
It doesn't hurt to also include a small snack with your lemonade bar so I created DIY lemon favors. Each favor includes a handful of lemon jelly beans and is disguised to look like a lemon.
The last element every ceremony lemonade bar needs is a sign. I added vinyl to a clear acrylic sign letting guests know to grab a drink.
