Planning A Yellow Wedding Theme: Tips For The Perfect Day

As the big day approaches, it’s time to buckle down and really start planning! If you’ve already decided on a yellow wedding theme, here are a few tips to help you plan the rest of your special day with yellow in mind. From yellow wedding themed venues to bouquets, drinks, and cakes — we at Peerspace cover it all below!

Tip #1: Find a venue with stunning yellow vibes on Peerspace

Once you’ve picked a yellow theme, it’s time to find your perfect yellow wedding venue! Peerspace is an easy-to-use platform that allows you to find unique spaces in hundreds of cities  — with tons of fun options for yellow themed weddings! 

Simply perform a search for wedding venues in your wedding city, your specific wedding date, and scroll through thousands of spaces to find a unique space to bring your ideas to life. You can further narrow down the search with keywords like “yellow” or “lemon” to find a space that perfectly matches your yellow wedding theme.

Next, we share a few examples of yellow-inspired spaces you’ll find on Peerspace.

Celebrate in fields of daffodils

Saying “I do” at a beautiful farm house with fields of daffodils? Yes, please! This gorgeous Peerspace property in Tennessee comes with 16 acres of beautiful rolling hills and plenty of beautiful daffodils, ideal for a yellow wedding theme.

The nearly 6,000 square foot home was built in 2017 and has all the modern amenities — yet has the quaint look of a 1920s farm home!

If you love a floral backdrop, also consider throwing a cherry blossom themed wedding!

Party in the lemon groves

Going for a lemony yellow look for your yellow wedding theme? Then what better place to host the celebration than in a lemon grove! This beautiful Miami venue is nestled among palm trees and comes with enough seating for up to 150 wedding guests.

Soak in the moments with the sunflowers

Sunflowers are such a beautiful addition to any yellowed themed wedding. They are associated with happiness and even symbolize loyalty and adoration to many. This is due to the Greek myth of Clytie being turned into a sunflower by Apollo and loving him so much that she still watched him cross the sky every day (explaining why sunflowers change positions and follow the sun).

To embrace the beauty and the myth of this gorgeous flower, rent a Peerspace like this outdoor space in New York. This venue features gorgeous sunflower touches, along with classy white picnic benches, and plenty of room to spread out and celebrate your big day!

Tip #2: Opt for an “all-natural” color palette

An all-natural color palette can really bring your yellow wedding theme to life. Consider choosing other natural colors and decorate with plenty of bright and brilliant florals, just like you see at this Palm Beach wine bar!

Orange, pinks, greens, and whites all go beautifully with yellow. However, if you are looking for other color palette options, dark blues can also go beautifully with yellow. 

Tip #3: Find inspiration for gorgeous yellow decor

Once you’ve found the perfect yellow wedding themed Peerspace venue, you can still use the website for further inspiration! You can check out what other yellow wedding themed spaces around the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. have decorated with.

For instance, you can use this space’s gorgeous yellow centerpieces as inspiration for your own decorations even if you live miles away from this venue in Indepence, Missouri. Our next tips all come with Peerspace venue inspiration to help you visualize how great these yellow ideas will look on your wedding day!

Tip #4: Consider a sunflower bouquet

The photos on this Austin, Texas venue’s Peerspace page features an absolutely gorgeous pic of a bride and her sunflower bouquet. A sunflower bouquet is simple yet elegant – and is totally different than most other bouquets you’ll see a bride holding!

But don’t stop at using sunflowers just for your bouquet! This venue also features a photo with an arrangement of sunflowers next to the guest book — which is such a gorgeous look.

Tip #5: Choose drinks to match your yellow wedding theme

We love the yellow drinks hanging between flowers and beautifully showcased at this Philadelphia Peerspace venue!

Great couple’s yellow drink ideas for your big day include spiked lemonade, lemon drop, and drinks using Galliano (such as a yellow bird, Harvey Wallbanger, or Golden Dream). White wine or hazy beers would also be wonderful choices if you are looking to stay away from hard alcohol!

Tip #6: Fall in love with a lemon wedding cake

There are tons of fun lemon wedding cakes you can choose from for your yellow wedding theme! Lemon and raspberry is a delicious choice or even a lemon elderflower cake.

In fact, you’ll be in good company with a lemon flavored wedding cake. Did you know that Megan Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding cake was lemon and elderflower?
