This week’s bouquet comes with a table setting from Saturday when my Mother and sister came for lunch on the screened porch.
Since I set the table with my bee dishes, I kept the arrangement to all yellows and whites.
Having once been a beekeeper, I am partial to anything with bees on it, and these are my favorite summer plates.
I started this arrangement with leftover Queen Anne’s lace from last week’s bouquet.
And then picked my cutting garden clean of yellow zinnias and snap dragons.
I love the softness of this bouquet, the subtle yellows with tints of pink and soft orange.
With a break in the heat wave, we had perfect summer weather for a lunch on the porch and a lovely time together.
Sweet company and sweetness in a jar.
Linking with Rambling in the Garden for “In a Vase on Monday”.
Zinnias are definitely getting added to me try to grow in the garden list. Love the plates.
I love my zinnias. This was the first summer I have ever grown them from seed and they have been a continual joy in the garden. Everytime I go out there, they make me smile. I’m so glad I gave them a try.
Happy Monday Penny!
The table setting is lovely. Your arrangement is perfect. The loose structure is casual yet all perfectly balanced.
Thank you kindly! It was the perfect summer afternoon with dear family for company and flowers to make it complete.
Please poke it’s like the softest summer in a vase. I love the green tones in the shape of the stems, the delicate petals… it was a great choice of flowers and goes beautifully with your table scape.
Thank you kindly!
The shades of blooms you have found for your vase are absolutely perfect to match your beautiful crockery – thanks for sharing.
Thank you Cathy for your kind comments and for allowing us to share on your site.
Oh you are most welcome, Cindy
It’s a beautiful arrangement which works perfectly with your table setting! I’m certain that your mother and sister were delighted!
Thank you kindly.
Utterly beautiful. That is a colour combination I don’t use enough, but I think you have inspired me to try to replicate it somehow!
Thank you Ali. I’ve never made a yellow arrangement before and I loved the softness of the subtle colors together. I want to see your arrangement when you make yours!
I love those bee plates! The buttery yellow zinnias are wonderful too. I hope you all enjoyed a pleasant lunch.
Thank you Kris! We did have a lovely time on a beautiful Saturday.
A harmonious setting, complemented by your lovely plates, and bouquet. The colours are really beautiful.
Thank you Noelle!
