A blossom-adorned table is right at home amid all the sights, sounds, and sweet aromas that make a secluded outdoor retreat truly enchanting this time of year. On the following pages, see all the pretty details that make this garden table setting sing.
Host friends for a leisurely get-together surrounded by Mother Nature’s melodious chorus and the gentle trickle of a vine-cloaked fountain. Fine floral china mingles with casual wooden flatware and rattan place mats, while pale green napkins bearing delicate stitchwork emphasize the tablecloth’s subtle French garden design.
Petite topiaries in mismatched terra-cotta pots are charming place holders that guests will take away as a delightful remembrance of this plein air rendezvous. For an invitation into the courtyard that reiterates the occasion’s décor, fashion a welcoming wreath from fresh flowers like brilliant blue hydrangeas, pale yellow carnations, cream-colored roses, and pink alstroemeria.
A blue-and-white vessel is ideal for the centerpiece of ranunculus, tulips, carnations, stock, and blushing peonies, a captivating reflection of the colors seen in each place setting.
