Create Your Own Hydrangea-Inspired Table

Love hydrangeas as much as I do? Bring their colour and charm to your summer entertaining with a few carefully chosen pieces of hydrangea table decor.

For my own table, I mixed blue and white hydrangeas with pieces I already owned and a handful of new finds, including a floral table runner, placemats, cushion covers and a fun hydrangea party set. The result is colourful, relaxed and perfect for summer entertaining in the garden.

Mix and Match

You don’t need everything to match. In fact, I think it’s much more interesting when it doesn’t. Choose a hydrangea pattern you love, pull colours from it, add natural textures such as seagrass or wicker, and mix in pieces you already have.

I’ve gathered the pieces I used along with more hydrangea-inspired finds below. Whether you’re planning a casual BBQ, a pretty garden lunch or simply want to bring a little more hydrangea colour outdoors, choose the pieces that work for you and create your own version of the look.

Build the Table

Start with the foundation. A hydrangea runner, tablecloth or placemats can establish the colour palette and set the mood for the entire table.
