Blossoming into Easter: My Floral Tablescape Makeover

 
Last week, I shared a serene, sage-toned tablescape and mentioned how “with only a few quick swaps, it can easily shift into bolder, brighter hues as summer draws near.” Well, summer may still feel far off, but with Easter just around the corner, I couldn’t resist giving that table a joyful, colorful refresh!
If you click through, you’ll see the transformation: the beautiful Bordallo Pinheiro geranium leaf bowls have been moved to the side, perfect now for serving a fresh spring salad. I cleared away the herb appetizer plates to let the stunning floral designs on the Portmeirion “Botanic Garden” dinner plates take center stage—they truly shine! 
I traded the sage napkins for vibrant floral ones from Pottery Barn that add instant cheer. Out went some of the glassware; in came my beloved salmon-colored water and wine glasses—purchased back in the 70s right out of college because I fell head over heels for them, and I love them just as much now. 
The large Portmeirion butterfly cups and saucers stepped aside to make room for Bordallo Pinheiro geranium leaf espresso cups—ideal for after-dinner coffee and a lovely echo of the cabbage leaf salad bowls.
  
Finally, I refreshed the centerpiece by blending last week’s cherry blossoms with a mix of soft pink and cranberry carnations plus alstroemeria. VoilĂ —a completely new, festive table is born! 
The best part? It really is that simple to transition from one season (or holiday) to the next with just a handful of thoughtful changes. Who else loves playing mix-and-match with their favorite pieces?

  1. Those flower plates!! I love that you purchased those pretty glasses fresh out of college. The linens are beautiful. I love the way you photograph your tables by featuring different parts of it.
    I'm wondering why yours is listed as "Undefined" on the list of blogs on the host blog. It's the prettiest table of the bunch! (I might be a bit biased)

  7. A lovely table to welcome spring. The Botanic Garden plates are so pretty. The floral napkins seems to match the plates. Such fun flatware with a touch of whimsy. Bordallo Pinheiro is such a classic look. The salmon colored glassware is pretty. Your centerpiece is wonderful with the cherry blossoms, pink carnations and alstromeria. Always a pleasure joining you at the table.

  8. Patti, what a lovely spring table! The plates are a gorgeous set. I am constantly recreating a centerpiece, using what flowers are still looking good. carnations and alstromeria are good choices for long lasting blooms. I have a vase full of yellow alstromeria bought over a week ago and still looking fabulous. Thanks for the lovel springtime inspiration. Enjoy the spring season and Happy Easter!
