A Summer Garden Party

I loved all these Summer Dinner party photos. The dark moody tablecloth makes all the bright colors pop! Brittany from The House That Lars Built recently designed this Language of Flowers collection. For this display, she mixed it with summer flowers, lots of bright glass, and colorful plates. Make sure you click through below to get the recipes for those amazing Smoked Salmon Toasts!
