Summer, although limited in range, has it's own charm with it's wildflowers and grasses and drought loving herbs. Now is the best time of the year for the fragrant greens with their tiny blossoms conjuring all types of uses making you both hungry and thirsty at once. You'll be seeing a lot more on this blog in the next few weeks so get down with it cause I'm breaking into it them all and the mini pears, apples, figs and beautiful vegetables that come right alongside them in the crates at Union Square.
Lest we forget, it's also Zinnia, Dahlia and Cosmo time! I love the lovely flirts how can one not?
Here are some photos I received from a wedding we designed last summer. Each table was delegated to the name of a different herb corresponding to ingredients incorporated into the centerpiece at that specific table. The place settings also correlated to the table's chosen herb with tiny bouquets of each herb on the napkins. We alternated tables with iron bird baths and lower iron urns to give the room meandering visual points of interest. The wedding took place in a small historic stone church and the reception at Blue Hill at Stone Barns which was the perfect setting for a romantic country summer wedding!
