Pink Hydrangeas on a Summer Tablescape
I found these pink hydrangea salad plates probably last year sometime. I decided to create a Summer Tablescape around them but I needed to wait until my pink hydrangeas were in bloom this year. All the hydrandeas on the table are from my garden except for the napkin rings. I found the green tablecloth at HomeGoods last week. It has kind of a tweed texture to it. It is the perfect color for a Spring or Summer tablescape. I added a green glass salt and pepper set and a green glass cream and sugar set to the table in my Circle Depression Glass pattern to add a bit more interest.
These melamine pink hydrangea salad plates came from HomeGoods. I kept seeing blue hydrangea plates but I knew my hydrangeas are pink so I was delighted to find these plates. They don’t have a maker’s mark on the back so I don’t know who made them.
I have green dinner plates in several different shades of green and that’s a good idea if you are planning a tablescaping hobby. These are a good shade of green if you need a darker green color. I can’t remember where these plates came from but they were made by Project 62. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.
Two years ago, for the first time, Hubby went to the Dollar Store and bought silver chargers for me and then spray painted them this bright pink. I am going to have to do that more often. It is such an easy way to have chargers the right color for your table setting and you can paint the same chargers over and over. I used this pink charger two years ago on one of my beachie themed tablescapes. You can see that tablescape here.
I was hoping to use my frosted pink flatware set on this table but it was just a bit too pinkish coral to work here so I am back to my frosted green flatware set. If you read my blog you have seen this flatware five different times on my Spring and Summer tablescapes this year. It is an oldie but goodie for sure. This flatware is called Madeline Green and I bought it at World Market many years ago. If you google frosted flatware and add the color you are looking for you will find similar sets.

These pink hydrangea napkin rings were made by Secret Celebrity and I love how full they are and the colors too. I found them on Ebay a few months ago. The polyester pink napkins came from Amazon two years ago.
You can see the tweed texture of the green tablecloth in this photo. I bought these small white vase place card holders on Amazon a few years ago. The hydrangea flowers are from my garden. You can read my blog post for ideas about how to store napkin rings and place card holders here.
The sage green acrylic goblet on the left came from our Pier 1 store before it closed a few years ago. If you are planning a tablescaping hobby this is a color you need to have in your collection. I found the pink glass goblet at World Market a couple years ago. Tall pink glass goblets are difficult to find so I was glad to see these. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection here.
I really love hydrangeas and these hydrangeas came from my garden this week. They are in a large white pottery vase, one of a pair of identical white vases that I inherited from my mother. She received them as a wedding present in 1938.
I am thinking about planting some more hydrangeas, I love them!
