Today's all about light blue. It's an amazing range of tones. All excessively calming. And they carry a multitude of associations. You can imagine a setting in Greece, something coastal or beachy, some old distressed blue wooden furniture found in a country barn somewhere, or even something South Western towards the turquoise end of the range. It's very versatile thematically, isn't it. As with most color, I prefer injections of it. Not all over the place, but just a pop of light blue here and there. And fortunately it's the perfect color for that. Where red for instance may be too powerful even in small doses. And green may get minty or look too deliberately chosen. Light blue has a funny way of seeming natural and acting neutrally even though it's not neutral at all. Perhaps it's the universality of it. Sea, sky, etc.

If you're going to deviate off of the white scheme, you can see how this old wooden set would be a great option. Maybe in a sun room, screened in porch, or covered terrace. There's something about the summer which is inherently nostalgic I think, and which is why old pieces seem to work well.

Just some white candles, and again the powerful floral piece to finish everything off. I should say also, glass and in this case metal or any clean reflective material for that matter is great as a container for floral centerpieces in the summer.
