Behind the Scenes: How We Design Our Planners at Lemonade Bloom

At Lemonade Bloom, we believe that a well-designed planner does more than just keep you organized—it inspires you to live your best life, dream big, and stay on track with your goals. Our planners are a reflection of the vibrant, nostalgic spirit of the 70s, blending retro aesthetics with modern functionality. Today, we're excited to take you behind the scenes and share how we create our unique planners, from choosing the perfect colors and patterns to ensuring every detail aligns with our brand's vintage vibes.

The Inspiration Behind Lemonade Bloom

The journey to creating a Lemonade Bloom planner starts with one simple question: How can we make planning a joyful and uplifting experience? We believe that every planner should be a reflection of the user’s personality and a tool that brings both productivity and happiness into their life. That's why we draw inspiration from the carefree, colorful, and optimistic spirit of the 70s.

The 70s were all about bold colors, playful patterns, and a sense of freedom and expression. That same sense of freedom is at the heart of Lemonade Bloom. Our planners are designed to give you the tools you need to organize your days while also allowing space for creativity and self-expression. We want our planners to feel like a breath of fresh air—something you look forward to using every day.

Designing with Nostalgia in Mind

Creating a planner that embodies the 70s while still feeling fresh and modern is no small feat. It all starts with color. At Lemonade Bloom, we carefully select a palette that captures the essence of the decade, with soft pastels, warm earthy tones, and vibrant pops of color that evoke the feeling of sunshine and positivity. Think of shades like mustard yellow, burnt orange, soft pink, and mint green—colors that immediately bring you back to the golden age of bell bottoms and vinyl records.

But it's not just about the colors. Patterns play a huge role in our design process. We love incorporating retro-inspired prints like geometric shapes, florals, and playful motifs that give our planners a sense of whimsy. These patterns aren’t just for decoration—they’re meant to inspire you as you jot down your plans, goals, and dreams. Whether it’s a vintage floral border on a weekly spread or a funky geometric design on the cover, every pattern is chosen with intention.

The Lemonade Bloom Aesthetic

One of the key elements that set Lemonade Bloom apart is our commitment to blending functionality with beauty. We believe that a planner should not only be practical but also a joy to look at and use. That's why we pay attention to every little detail, from the typography to the layout.

Our fonts are carefully selected to complement the nostalgic feel of our planners. You'll find playful script fonts paired with clean, modern typefaces to create a balance of fun and sophistication. The layouts are designed with both structure and flexibility in mind. We understand that everyone plans differently, so we’ve created layouts that are versatile enough to fit your unique needs—whether you’re a list maker, a doodler, or someone who likes to map out their goals in detail.

Another standout feature of our planners is the inclusion of reflective prompts and goal-setting pages. We believe that planning isn’t just about managing your time—it’s also about checking in with yourself, setting intentions, and celebrating your progress. That’s why you’ll find thoughtful prompts scattered throughout our planners, encouraging you to reflect on your achievements, set new goals, and embrace positivity.

From Concept to Creation

Every Lemonade Bloom planner starts as a concept in our design studio. We begin by brainstorming themes and ideas that align with our 70s-inspired aesthetic. Once we have a clear vision, our design team gets to work sketching out ideas and playing with different layouts, patterns, and color combinations.

One of the most exciting parts of the design process is seeing everything come together. Our team spends countless hours perfecting each detail, from the way the pages are laid out to the feel of the cover in your hands. We work closely with our print partners to ensure that the final product not only looks beautiful but also stands the test of time.

Each planner is made with high-quality materials to ensure that it’s durable enough to handle daily use, yet soft and lightweight enough to carry with you wherever you go. We pay attention to the little things, like the smoothness of the paper and the sturdiness of the binding, so you can focus on planning your best life.
