Thank you Rita, I love that rich, French feeling too….I haven’t been able to get much magnolia before, but I love it!!

Oh Lidy, this is so richly French to me! The reds and yellows of the textiles just sing of fall, and the flowers just lovely. I think magnolia elevates any floral setting, and I just love how its stems last so long. Beautiful!

I have just gotten rid of the red in my living room and repainted my red foyer, only to be inspired by your beautiful tablesetting and flowers to bring it all back. I love the colors of Fall and can’t wait to bring those touches into my house. But we’re hoping mostly for cooler temperatures.

Just gorgeous Lidy! I can’t wait for the weather to catch up with all this inspiration! Going to France in a few weeks for vacation. Can’t wait!

Lidy, Your transitional summer to fall flower arrangement is creative and beautiful. Placed on the colorful tablecloth it really pops!
Such a happy table with lovely antique pieces and pretty flowers.
I always look forward to what you girls are doing on Floral Friday.

Lidy, I’m wowed by your wonderful French country tablecloth in all its red floral glory. It sets the tone beautifully for your artfully arranged floral in in your urn. Your use of the vintage French curtain rings as a napkin ring and placecard holder is brilliant!
As always it’s a joy to join for Floral Fridays. Happy Weekend, xo Mary

I agree, Cindy, those deep luscious colors of the French countryside are always joyful to use! Thank you, I hope you enjoy your weekend, too!

I love the colors you chose for your table. I love French decor and for some reason most choose the farmhouse end with color.
I love cir and using deep colors I imagine seeing in the French countryside. Colors in the earth and nature.
I don’t mind muted tones but when I see pictures the countryside is filled with color. I bring that indoors.
In no way do I think I am a pro, just my opinion .
Beautiful as always, Lidy. Love your arrangements.
Enjoy your weekend
Cindy

Oh Lidy! It is stunning! I love everything about the flowers and table setting. How clever to use the curtain rings to attach the place cards!

Your table is lovely Lidy, the red is totally unexpected for fall but the flowers and elements you’ve paired it with makes it say “this is a fall celebration!” The cream roses were also an unexpected surprise but they add a wonderful contrast to the other textures in the arrangement and add a touch of elegance plus a rest for the eyes with so much going on in this setting. This is so gorgeous, and I do hope you enjoy a festive fall meal here with your family! Thank you for another fabulous Floral Friday!

Lidy, this is a beautiful transition to autumn. Love the colors in your tablecloth and the browns and reds compliment each other. Your posts are always amazing.

That tablecloth and napkins are wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
September 07, 2018
Lidy, what a beautiful setting! The rich and vibrant tablecloth sets the stage for welcoming autumn. Your mix of flowers in the French urn are the perfect colors to transition from summer into fall. The antique ironstone juxtaposed with the linens truly is magical. I am one who loves the mixing of patterns. What a delight it would be to sit at your stunning table and enjoy food and conversation. I love sharing Floral Friday with you??

I would say that you are ready to usher in the fabulous season of Fall with that gorgeous table setting with so many exquisite things that adorn it. I so love when you use such beautiful antique containers to use for your arrangements. You have to looking out for such beautiful floral vessels. The table linens sing the song of Summer and Fall with the vivid colors of both seasons. What a great idea to use the antique drapery ring for a napkin and place card holder. I have a bag full of them (somewhere in the storage abyss) and I cannot wait to use them on a future table! Again, it is so wonderful to share Floral Friday with you, Mary and Pam. My favorite Fridays. You all bring me such joy and I can always know that when your posts pop in my email, I know that I am in for a dose of “Happy!” …. Have a great day and weekend Lidy!!!
