May is a beautiful Month! The beginning of the month is filled with soft colors and fragrant flowers! And the month ends with a red, white and true blue holiday! Perfect for creating tablescapes.
It is the best time to dine al fresco, enjoying the warming sun and the lingering daylight.
Here are some of my favorite outdoor tablescape over the last two years of May inspiration...

The lilacs bloom every May at StoneGable. They almost beg me to set a table in their honor!
This table was set on my front porch. It included bridal veil flowers and my very own bridal veil used as a tablecloth!
Another lilac tablescape... tea sandwiches and lilacs are made for each other!
Oh, so pretty peonies... and lace!
Tea anyone?
A salute to the Red, White And Blue!
The lilacs are blooming again and begging for another tablescape!!!!
Yvonne. Those tables are just so, so, so beautiful. I LOVE the ones with the lilacs! xo Diana

Beautiful tablescapes. Lilacs are so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAll the tables are stunning, Yvonne!! I can almost smell the flowers....mmmmmm!
DeleteALL are stunningly beautiful; however, in these eyes, there is nothing more beautiful than that silver pitcher with the lilacs. Just charming!

Yvonne, so much fun to see these again. Each one is especially lovely. I am smitten with your style.. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these settings is a knockout! I would so love to have some lilacs in my yard. I planted two a few years ago, but I fort to water them and they died. I am thinking of trying again, especially when I see them in photos like these.
ReplyDeleteAll your tables are stunning, Yvonne. It's impossible to,pick a favorite. I love them all...Christine
ReplyDeleteYvonne, each one of these tables makes me smile with delight. I remember some of these. Your sense of style is smashing. Thanks for sharing these again. What inspiration! ~ sarah
ReplyDeleteI remember every single one of those tables. ALL magnificent. I can't wait to be able to grow lilacs, and peonies etc!!! XO, P
ReplyDeleteYvonne I LOVE them all!!
ReplyDeleteAll of your tables are so beautiful! I really love the arrangement of Lilacs in the silver coffee pot. Stunning! I brought a Peony bush back from my mothers this Spring, but it only has one lonely little bud on it. Hopefully next year it will have a few more that will make for a beautiful arrangement!

I love may and October and love your tables
ReplyDeleteI can smell those lilacs. I'm sure I can. Fabulous tables, Yvonne. I enjoyed looking a them again.
ReplyDeleteWow so stunning! Many of these would have been perfect with my post from yesterday....you certainly have the gift Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Yvonne! I love the first tablescape. I might have to see if I can fit a lilac bush in somewhere. I'm already planning on a few hydrangeas. I think a neighbor may have a lilac bush that is blooming now; I need to get a closer look, though, to be sure and, if it is, I'm going to ask her if I can cut a few {or ten} blooms.
ReplyDeleteI tried, but it is impossible for me to choose a favorite. I love each and every one.♥
ReplyDeleteLove the lilacs.. the colors of this table scape are so soft and beautiful
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne, Stunning tablescapes! The first one with the lilacs is my favorite. Your veil looks beautiful as a cloth and you have such a flair for this. You make it look easy………..

Hi Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to downsize and declutter but every time I go to donate something, I get new ideas
from you how to find new uses for these items.
You are so creative.

Your table settings are beautiful, I'd love to sit and enjoy the fragrant blooms and a cup of fine tea!

That lilac table was what I saw the first time I visited your blog. I loved it then, and I love it now. They are/were all lovely.
ReplyDeleteEach one is simply beautiful and stands on its own. I am especailly loving the first one with the purple lilacs because I am currently trying SO hard to convince a client that they do NOT want to use a lavender/lilac tablecloth, but rather go with pure white accented with touches of the color. I was doing just fine with the convincing until an outsider (the client's sister) stepped in an decided to lend "her expertise" to the subject. Now I am fighting tooth and nail to not use a solid lavender linen overlay on what could be an otherwise beautifully-appointed Tuscan-style table!!! OK...enough ranting on my part. Every table is gorgeous. Applause, applause! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't pick one over the other, all-are so beautiful! Thanks for linking to Let's Dish! Mother's Day challenge next week!
ReplyDeleteThose tablescapes are all beautiful. My favorite flowers in the pictures are the lilacs. We can't grow them in South Carolina and I miss the plants I had in PA.

Hi Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteI thought the lilac tablescape was my favorite, and then I saw the pale pink peony one!
You are a genius when it comes to pairing the perfect
elements on a table.
Just beautiful.
Love it all.

Lilacs and peonies have me singing in May too! And of course, wedding celebrations. Such a beautiful month when it isn't too hot yet. All of your tables are gorgeous and it is fun to see a reprise. I think that is one of my least favorite things about blogging is how quickly it all just disappears into the archives!! Have a glorious May weekend.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, each of these tables is a work of art. Gorgeous! I hope all is well. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always, Yvonne. I would love to join you for tea at your gorgeous lilac table.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful tablescapes! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous as always! I'm normally not a huge fan of red, white and blue but that Memorial Day tablescape is so much fun! They're all beautiful! Oh, and your last comment on my blog (my workroom) had me laughing out loud! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteYvonne....your tablescapes are magnificent!!....and the flowers from the lilacs to the bridal veil are so beautiful....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous in every way!!!....So what time is lunch?
The beautiful shades of lavender are so pretty in some of your photos! You always add glamor to your tablescapes!
ReplyDeletelove lilac and your tablescapes always look awesome, georgeus pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but the pink peony reminds me of the beautiful peonies that my Mother use to grow.
