Tablescape Tuesday: A Box O’ Hydrangeas

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:37‬ ‭

Last Saturday evening, we had our long-time friends over for dinner…and if you know me, you know that I wanted to treat them alfresco style! But unfortunately, as soon as I set the table, the clouds started rolling in.  So we took it to the dining room to enjoy an evening of good food and many laughs!  Although I was a little disapppointed not to be on the patio, there is one good thing about it: we didn’t have to fight the pesky mosquitoes or the summer heat in the dining room!

But before we take a look at today’s tablescape, I wanted to remind you all about our Gardens Galore Link up!

 Next Monday, June 12, come back around 8am (central time) to party with us in the garden!  You can link your personal garden, a garden you’ve visited, pretty flowers you’ve photographed, potted flowers around your home, your vegetable garden…anything that has to do with gardening!  It can be a recent post or a post from years ago…there really are no rules!  The only rule is that you have fun! I will be sharing some of them on Facebook, Instagram, and on my blog! Can’t wait to see all of the beautiful posts you share!
Now, on to the patio…and our box o’ hydrangeas!

 *
   I discovered a tablecloth I hadn’t used in a long time…a pale blue and white paisley!

  Hydrangeas are blooming at my house, so naturally they became the centerpiece!

  I used a wooden box for the hydrangeas, chaste tree blooms, and sprigs of gold mound spirea.

 Rattan chargers add texture to white dinner plates and spring salad plates that were first seen here. Hand-crafted wooden napkin rings hold yellow and pink napkins that were paired.

  Hobnail-style tumblers and aqua stemware held iced tea and water.  Iced tea is a definite for summer in the south!

  2. Pam: Your table is stunning. I love everything about it, from the tablecloth to the centerpiece. The color in your hydrangeas is beautiful. And, I do love your salad plates – they are perfect.

    I know it was disappointing you couldn’t be outside – but I am sure your friends were happy just to be with you.

    Have a beautiful week

  3. Pam: I would love to link up with your Garden Galore. However, I am embarrassed to say, I do not know how to do that. I am new to the blogging world and have so much to learn. I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thanks, so much!

  6. Your hydrangea blooms are amazing! I love the table-cloth, too. Funny thing…I was planning a similar centerpiece for my next table. Great minds think alike? Haha! I love your plates. So colorful and pretty. Happy Tuesday! (P.S. Raining here again this morning.)

  8. All the beautiful flowers are from your garden? It will be a while before I can collect as things are just starting to bloom in the yard.

  12. That wooden box is simply perfect for the hydrangeas. I love that flower — it can go very formal or casual and anywhere in between. I’d be delighted to be a guest at a table that lovely.

  13. Pam, that’s my absolute favorite color on hydrangeas! So gorgeous!! We have one bush with purple blooms and I hope I can use them but it has been raining everyday for two weeks here. Just beautiful table!

  14. Gorgeous hydrangeas–the color is so vibrant. I love them but the deer just chew them down to nothing. I also really adore your plates.

  16. Pretty arrangement of hydrangeas in the neat wooden box and with your lovely garden in the background it is like a magazine picture. I love your plates with butterflies, birds, flowers and rabbits and they go so well with the hob nob and pale blue glasses.
    Sorry, you had to move your table inside but it sounds like you had a lovely evening with old friends.
    I hope to link up Tuesday. I will be at St.George Island so hopefully no internet issues will arise.

  19. I’ve grown blue and pink, but can’t grow purple! Our church has deep purple hydrangeas by the back door an every Sunday they are blooming, I always comment how gorgeous they are! Everything about your dinner was charming!
