Board #407: Hydrangeas & Linen

Lazy days, dinners al fresco, time with family and friends - these are my favorite things about summer. I thought I'd put together an inspiration board that could certainly be a wedding, but could easily be a simple dinner party in the backyard. The faded blue and white of vintage linen tea towels is an unexpected motif, and an easy way to create a cohesive look.

Mood: dinner al fresco
Palette: faded hydrangea, white linen

I love the grouping of the different bottles as a centerpiece! It takes a few flowers and makes a big statement! Always a plus in the money saving department!
