So thrilled to welcome back the charming pair of Love + Lavender, Aileen and Ellen, who have been guest posting every Thursday this month here on Classic Bride. Today the girls will be sharing one last pretty board with us - all about hydrangeas ... my favorite! Let's swoon together ... :
For our last post, we decided to highlight the hydrangea. Hydrangeas have full, lush blooms with muted colors that play well into a vintage summer wedding with subtle seaside elements. Soft blues and greys would keep the color palette subdued, while white chandeliers would twinkle from the trees, overlooking tables decorated with candle-filled seashells and antique blue mason jars filled with hydrangeas. The bride would wear a dress with layers of closely packed ruffles paired with classic white heels and a crystal headband. A spread of various cheeses and crackers would make perfect appetizers, whetting the guests' appetite for a delicious seafood meal. A white cake with intricate details would top the meal off perfectly.

Love this board..thanks for sharing. Hydragenas are one of my favorite and such inspiration. They make arrangements look so full and lively. Beautiful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! It was so fun being on your beautiful site this month. We were totally honored!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! My favorite part is the pencils with the blue wood. And I'm always a sucker for a blue mason jar, though I've noticed they're surprisingly pricey on eBay...anyone know where to find enough blue mason jars without breaking the budget?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Aileen and Ellen! Your boards were stunning and it was such a delight to have you two guest post! :o) xox.
ReplyDeleteLisa: Aren't blue mason jars the best? I just spoke with an upcoming advertiser who has LOTS to sell so as soon as I hear more, I will let you know! ;o)
Lisa: You can now check out our newest sponsor in the right-hand sidebar ... "Ball Jars straight from the farm" ... She has hundreds of blue ball jars for sale! Just send her an e-mail for details! Hope that helps! ;o)
