Just yesterday, I produced the Summer Soiree, for my local Association of Bridal Consultants group.
The event took place in the formal garden of the Acacia Mansion in Ojai. Classic Party Rentals provided their Descanso Feasting Tables, which were surrounded by vintage Tuscan rubbed chiavari chairs. The tables were topped needlepoint lace rounds, dozens of flickering candles of various heights, and Chinoiserie vases which I filled with Dolly Hydrangeas, Garden Roses, Dahlias and Dusty Miller. After the sun went down on the hedge lined rose garden, the candles filled the space with light that dazzled like fireflies. It was a magical setting.
I’m sure that you’ve seen regular hydrangeas before, but have you ever seen Dolly hydrangeas?
Feast your eyes on these lacy summertime blooms.
Aren’t these flowers delightful? The tiny blooms, lend such an interesting texture to floral arrangements.
What kind of hydrangeas are your favorite?










These hydrangeas are gorgeous! I want to touch and smell them. I love ‘em all!
