Hydrangeas on a Tablescape
I love hydrangeas. I have a few hydrangea plants in my back garden and I may plant a couple more. I did a tablescape last year with pink hydrangeas but when I saw this tablecloth at HomeGoods last year, I knew that I would eventually create a tablescape with blue hydrangeas. The label on the matching napkins says House & Garden. It took me a year to find hydrangea salad plates that I liked.
These porcelain hydrangea salad plates came in a set of four. I didn’t use the pinkish colored one on this tablescape, I used two of each of the other colors. I found them on Ebay a few months ago. They were made by American Atelier at Home.
This green dinner plate was called Fun Factory and it was made by Waechtersbach. The color was called Green Apple I think. I have had them for several years and I can’t remember where I bought them. If you read my blog you saw these green dinner plates on one of this year’s Easter Tablescapes. You can read about what you need to think about when you are buying dinner plates here.
I have a few different white chargers but this is the one I seem to use the most on my tablescapes. The beaded rim design always adds an additional bit of interest to the plate stack. This white beaded charger came from Williams Sonoma and it is called Antique Beaded. It was one of the first chargers I bought several years ago when I started tablescaping. A basic white charger is always a good purchase when you are starting a tablescaping collection. To read about what you should be considering when you are buying chargers, please click here.
Seems like every time I use this frosted green flatware I get questions and comments about it. It is called Madeline Green and I bought it at World Market several years ago. If you google frosted flatware and add the color you are looking for you will find similar sets. I use this green flatware often in the Spring and Fall. You can see it here on a Fall Pumpkin tablescape. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
The hydrangea napkins came from HomeGoods last month. I was surprised to see them because they match the tablecloth and I found it at HomeGoods last year. I found these blue hydrangea napkin rings on Etsy a few months ago. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.
These white place card holders can be written on with a special pen. Can’t remember where I bought them but it was probably Williams Sonoma or Crate and Barrel several years ago. It’s a nice simple place card holder, I have used it several times. To read about the What, Where and When of place card holders, please click here.
The sage green acrylic goblet on the left came from our Pier 1 store before it closed a few years ago. We found the blue glass goblet on the right at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago. I was looking for a light blue glass goblet and these were perfect. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.
I found the faux hydrangeas on Amazon and at Michaels a few months ago and I put them in this large white pottery vase that I inherited from my mother. She received a pair of them as a wedding present in 1938.
I found this Mosser white milk glass salt and pepper set at Everything Kitchens online last year. I wanted a simple white salt and pepper set and I love this one.
Hubby traveled to 48 countries during his career for work and he would bring me a vase from every country he visited. This small porcelain vase came from France. It is marked Porcelaine de Paris. I decided to add it to this tablescape.
I love hydrangeas!
