Happy Anniversary in May Table

Lilacs are such a sentimental flower for me.  Whenever they

are in bloom in the month of May, I am reminded of our

wedding reception 33 years ago in May.

Of course I loved purple

even back then and my parents had a 50 foot hedge of

different varieties of lilacs from white to deep dark purples.

We filled the church with lilacs cut from those bushes.

As a girl I would cut myself a bouquet and bring it into my

room to smell the wondrous fragrance of our lilacs.

They have such a short growing season and I just had to 

include a table with the lilacs and other flowers from

the garden.  Today is a romantic table for two outside

for dessert to enjoy the beautiful flowers and fragrances

of Spring.

Bleeding hearts are another flower that reminds me of growing up.

Do you find that you want to have the flowers that your mother

had in her garden?  I do.

These little gems have always fascinated me.  What an intricate

and wonderful blossom.  I had to tuck some in with the dessert fork.

I layered these beautiful square purple blossom plates with

a white square plate for my romantic table for two

in honor of our anniversary.

These wonderful light purple bubble glasses are perfect

for our romantic table.

Just these few lilac blossoms fill the air with their heady aroma.

This old bistro set was looking a little tired so a few years

ago I sprayed it purple and recovered the chairs with

outdoor fabric in a black and cream damask that I

purchased from Ballard.

It is so nice to be able to have the weather warm enough to

sit outside and begin to enjoy the garden.

I am so grateful for my marriage and that we have had

so many years together.  I love that I

got married at such a pretty time of year and that

the blossoms of the season remind me of that.

Thanks for visiting Purple Chocolat Home today.

I enjoy each and every comment.
