Sage Green & Cherry Blossoms: My Fresh Spring Table Setting

 

Spring has officially arrived at my table! Soft, subtle, and irresistibly pretty, this first tablescape of the season feels just like the gentle awakening of warmer days. With only a few quick swaps, it can easily shift into bolder, brighter hues as summer draws near.

 

A neutral linen tablecloth with a delicate cream design creates a calm foundation, topped by a super affordable sage-green cheesecloth runner that drapes freely and organically from end to end—like a gentle breeze across the table.

 

The centerpiece steals the show: a majestic swan planter brimming with faux cherry blossoms, adding elegance and a touch of whimsy. As evening settles in, cordless table lamps bathe everything in a warm, inviting glow.

Each place setting begins with an off-white charger featuring pretty scalloped edges. Layered on top are my cherished Portmeirion “Botanic Garden” dinner and salad plates. Perched above the salad plate sits a vintage off-white appetizer plate illustrated with herbs and their names—a treasured souvenir from the Missouri Botanical Garden gift shop in the 1980s!

Bordallo Pinheiro’s charming green cabbage leaf salad bowls complete the look and are perfect for serving velvety spring soup. The matching Portmeirion Botanic Garden Butterfly cups and saucers flutter in beautifully, promising butterflies and blooms ahead.

 

For flatware, I pulled out my all-time favorite Kelenfer set with its delightful musical-note tail design—it never fails to make me smile. Sage-green Ruvanti napkins echo the runner and add just the right hint of color.

 

And oh, the glassware! I had the most fun here, mixing three different patterns, colors, and sizes to evoke the joyful feeling of spring growth rising from the earth. As a proud “green girl,” I couldn’t resist these gorgeous green ribbed stemless wine glasses—the texture is divine and pairs effortlessly with elegant crystal champagne flutes and sunny golden-yellow stemware. The combination feels fresh, alive, and perfectly spring-like.

 

This tablescape is soft elegance at its best—pretty today, ready to bloom brighter tomorrow. I hope it inspires your own spring table!
