With summer in full swing, we are embracing the warmer days and enjoying the outdoors more. Whether a rustic and impromptu lunch or a dramatic dinner with plenty of candles for dining under the stars, I love to set a table. I try to bring texture and contrast and almost always, flowers are the star of the show. From the first sprigs of blossom in spring to the deep hues of the last dahlias in autumn, I like my tablescapes to reflect the seasons.
