PLEIN AIR BLISS
Cheerful lettuce ware, wicker chargers, and bamboo accents mingle among dahlias, roses, and hydrangeas to heighten the natural charm of this luncheon’s grassy locale. Napkins featuring sky blue embroidery coordinate with the checkered tablecloth and plush floral pillows for a touch of elegance. Refreshing under the summer sun, Rose Water Lemonade and Chilled Peach Soup are accompanied by herbaceous yeast rolls and Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad. The sweet finale—Raspberry Panna Cotta garnished with fruit, mint, and dollops of cream—is perfectly portioned in etched coupe glasses that reprise the tabletop’s floral motif.
