Something Blue
Vintage Tinge
Tradition marries romance in this sweetly charming
tablescape by Sweet Beginnings. An assemblage of old
and new vases, julep cups and glassware rest atop cornflower raw silk linen and hold baby’s breath, antique
pink and cream roses, fringed tulips and hydrangea.
A hand-embroidered table runner and matching
napkins complement the antique silver flatware, clear
Victorian motif charger plates and pink depression-era
wine glasses. Butter yellow enamel napkin holders add
a final flourish.
The old wedding day adage still rings true.
Pay homage to the tradition with pops of the azure hue
in your wedding day decor.
