Blue and White - Hydrangeas

SUMMER MANTLE

When I think of Summer, I think of Blue and White.
I have the privilege to be able to pick some Blue Hydrangeas from my Mother-in-law's garden. She has a very large, old bush that is gorgeous this year.





I love cloches and apothecary jars.
Together with a few blue and white items - 






and some natural color as an added touch
I have created for my home -
Blue and White Hydrangea Mantle.

  20. Blue hydrangeas are my favorite flower to cut for an arrangement! And I always think of white as going well with blue but I'm surprised at how beautiful the natural color of the runner compliments your arrangement! Very pretty! ♥
