Last week I set a table to coordinate with the Blue Hydrangea Cupcakes I posted yesterday (complete with new how-to video…). I love mixing and matching with all of the colors in my collection. I used my Powder Blue Anna Wheatherly gold rimmed china plates (they match the Bliss Blue Color Collection in my store) because I think the pale blue looks so great with the purple and deep blues of the late summer hydrangea that seem to be everywhere in our neighborhood – except my house. I “borrowed” them from my neighbor – with permission, of course. I had a hard time deciding which candles to use to compliment the flowers… Left to Right : Mom’s Hydrangea Seaside Privet Berry Blue
I ended up with the Privet Berry Blue. I thought they looked great with the cupcakes I created, as they were a deeper blue. They “Mom’s Hydrangea” color was almost too close of an exact match with the actual hydrangeas, and I thought the Seaside was a little too bright.
The True Navy Blue was such a nice compliment to the light blue plates. The Hemstitch Napkins are embroidered in Seaside.
The here are the deep blue and purple “Hydrangea Cupcakes” I made featuring the fun Celebration Candles in Seaside. For detailed step-by-step instructions, click here.
Here is a little behind the scenes…
There is a new photographer in the family. You’ll never guess what she was taking pictures of…
Cupcakes!
