Wow your guests with a citrus splash twist! Turn your Sunday lunch into a Sundae brunch. Have fun in the sun! Gab & grub with the gals with this super retro Brady Bunch inspired dessert table design. Bridal shower, baby shower or just because…. this colorful palette is sure to pop!

Table:

Add a bit of bright sparkling sunshine to your fete by starting with a table runner made from exquisite floral wrapping paper. To line the paper, we glued a neon orange felt ribbon to polish off the look, giving it the appearance of a fabric table runner. Use any color of ribbon or size to create a different effect on the table.

Centerpieces:

Next, we used bright green modern ceramic vases and placed them in a straight line in the center of the table. We then placed a single white bunch of hydrangeas in each vase. This was an easy touch as there was no arranging required.

To add fun details, place a bright high gloss citrus style plate at the end of the table and layer it with candy and jars of sugar sprinkles. Next, add a case of orange sparkling fruit juice or soda in the same citrus colored palette.

Paper Candy:
