Florence, Italy

A beautiful dinner in Italy. When you think of a romantic beautiful setting perhaps travel thousands of miles in memory or fantasy and enjoy what the Italians are known for. Beauty, passion, and wonderful food. "Salute"

Freesia and Dusty Miller highlight the tablescape

Lavendar ad Purples line the family style dinner table

A wash of colors highlight the after dinner activities. Sit on the sofa and enjoy.
