Citrus Grove: A Fresh Take on Summer Hosting

There’s something undeniably joyful about citrus season—the way it captures warmth, light, and effortless charm. Citrus Grove , the first design in The Summer Collection from The Hospitality Shoppe, was created to bring that same energy to your table, your stationery, and your everyday gatherings.

Citrus Grove was born from a love of classic patterns with a playful twist. Inspired by timeless chinoiserie details and a sunny palette of soft greens, lemony yellows, and warm peach tones, the design blends elegance and cheerfulness in a way that feels instantly welcoming.

It also holds a special place in my heart as it echoes the spirit of Hattie Mae’s second birthday party—a sweet citrus garden party that sparked the idea for this collection. I wanted to create something that felt fresh and fun but still rooted in the traditional style I love.

For this design, I created a light and charming tablescape using our Citrus Grove paper placemats and coasters —two simple pieces that completely transformed the setting. I kept the centerpiece minimal so the pattern could shine: a few fresh citrus fruits scattered down the center, a vase of garden flowers, and classic glassware for a relaxed but pulled-together look.

The beauty of the Hospitality Shoppe collections is that they make it easy to elevate your table in minutes. Paper goods are a hostess's best-kept secret—they offer style without the stress, and you never have to worry about clean-up.

The Citrus Grove pattern is available across a range of items in The Hospitality Shoppe, making it easy to coordinate your entertaining style and gifting moments. You’ll find this design featured on:

• Paper Placemats

• Paper Coasters

• Cocktail Napkins

• Hostess Towels

• Flat & Enclosure Cards

• Gift Tags

• Cups

Each piece of the Citrus Grove collection was designed to work beautifully on its own or as part of a cohesive look—so whether you're hosting brunch or delivering a treat to a neighbor, you’ll always have a thoughtful detail on hand.

Each Hospitality Shoppe collection includes three Signature Logo designs—ready-made monograms featuring seasonal motifs that bring a curated look to your stationery and paper goods. In Citrus Grove, you’ll find:

• Citrus Trellis - A lattice-inspired frame filled with leafy vines and citrus sprigs, this monogram is classic, charming, and perfect for any hostess who loves a garden-party aesthetic.
• Zest & Vine - This bold design features a punchy orange fruit and leafy greenery entwined with a stacked monogram—perfect for stationery or gift tags that make a sunny statement.
• Orange Blossom - Soft, sweet, and a little bit floral, this logo is delicate and feminine, featuring blooming citrus blossoms around a traditional script monogram.

Each logo in the collection is available as a digital download, allowing you to personalize the monogram letters and use the design across your own projects—from notecards to custom stickers and more.
