Choose any twisted or plain candlesticks, a few stoneware and glass bottles/vases, then arrange together with your Hydrangeas and some summery white flowers.

Keep to the delicate white and blue theme to enhance the colour combination – even choose some matching crockery if you have it and a co-ordinating table runner.

Start with a refreshing homemade punch – Cranberry Blood Orange Punch

Or a sangria – Peach Sangria

Serve with a tasty pasta dish – Tomato Pasta Alla  (note – type of pasta can be varied depending on what you have)

Some grilled chicken – Everyday Chicken Marinade

Add some slow roasted tomatoes and shallots, sprinkle with a few pieces of parmesan and top with rosemary sprigs.

For a sweet ending, choose something refreshing and light, such as a Tenby Sponge

or a Lemon Dessert – Lemon Meringue Dessert

Above all, relax and enjoy the company and the great outdoors!
