Spring Flower Arrangements Add Color to a Seasonal Tablescape
In this post: Spring flower arrangements are one of the easiest ways to add beautiful color to a seasonal tablescape to welcome the season of rebirth and renewal.⇒
Can we talk about how much I want spring to blossom?
We recently had a huge storm in the Northeast. It was easily the biggest storm of the season. And typically, the day before the storm, I found myself in the grocery store with hoards of other people. They were all loading up on the usual staples: eggs, milk and bread. And me? I had one thing in my cart.
Flowers.
Not kidding. Not even a bit.
This shouldn’t be terribly shocking. After all, I have a history of this sort of thing. Last storm my cart was brimming with wine and chocolate.
Now, to be fair, we had gotten some groceries over the weekend to replace the food that had to be thrown out when my fridge died. (That story in a future post…) But the thing is, if there’s one thing I want people to know about me, it’s this. I believe the key to happiness is small pleasures. So, if I’m going to be hunkered down in the house for a few days, I definitely want to be sure to have wine, chocolate and flowers.
And with lovely spring flower arrangements… come pretty spring table settings. So today I’m sharing one of my favorite spring tablescapes of the season.
The inspiration for this table started with these vintage French salad plates. The color is a little stronger than my usual antique dish selections and I knew they would work well with a full color spring bouquet.
I also used the smaller bread plates for additional color on the table, while the clean white dinner plates function as a crisp underpinning for the floral china. Decorative silver chargers provide the base against the bare white-washed tabletop.
I decided to highlight the pink as my key accent color and used my favorite pink linen napkins with their sweet ruffle edging. (See resource list below.) Silver spoon napkin rings work nicely with the silver-toned chargers.
I used gorgeous pink and gold ranunculus, along with grape hyacinths as the core of my spring flower arrangements. (I used one large one on the table and sprinkled a few smaller ones around the house.)
The floral is nestled within a chunky French lettered urn, with eucalyptus branches running down the length of the table.
The brilliant light that shines through the generous windows is a wonderful cover for the brewing storm outside. It’s been so spring-like the past few weeks that I was undeterred by this brief interruption and plowed ahead with my spring fever.
My pink champagne flutes rounded out the picture and I love how they show up so much better against the white table that we recently added.
The final touch was a mix of candlesticks sitting amongst the eucalyptus, reflecting my preference for gold and silver casually used together.
I enjoyed my spring flower arrangements all day today. And I didn’t have eggs, milk, or bread once!

I always love your tablescapes, Lory! Those bright spring colors on the plates look so pretty with those flowers. You and I have similar grocery lists 😉
Love your Spring Tablescape! The flowers are gorgeous and just what I needed on this cold day in the Midwest! ☺
As always, your tablescape is lovely! Your flower choices and the china couldn’t be a better match. Sorry for the cold weather. You are brave, I would freeze. In our part of Texas we rarely see a hard freeze. Sometimes it starts to rain and forgets to stop, but snow isn’t common. Stay warm.
Lory: All is simply beautiful. I am especially in love with the blush napkins. They are beautiful and perfect! Thank you for a lovely post.
Lori, typical Northeast weather. We just were hoping for no snow for the rest of the year, Oh well.
Love your table and the first things that caught my eye were the jug in the center and the beautiful chargers

Lory, only you could find the exact flowers for the beautiful plates ! This is gorgeous ! I love the flowers in that French jug. I haven’t seen this before.
In VA we were suppose to get snow, but ended up with jus sleet, rain and a little ice. I wanted one more good snow 🙁 But it looks like Spring in your home. !!!!!! Thank u
Those chargers are amazing! I am one who loves the bolder colors so the vintage luncheon plates are really pretty to me. I soft pink linen napkin with ruffles…really! I melt. what a lovely tablescape
Thanks so much, Debbie! I just saw your lovely home tour, as well. Beautiful!!
I know this is a late reply to your blog but I was wondering where you found that French lettered urn. Please let me know. Thank you. Love it.

So pretty Lory. I love the flowers with the China. They compliment each other beautifully. I’m tempted by those napkin rings. Totally my jam. Have a great day. XO- MaryJo
Thank you so much!! Go for it if they’ll make you happy… 🙂
Such a pretty tablescape. I love the details. The silver chargers are amazing!
Blessings to you.
Love love love the plate stack and I am like you I enjoy the mix of plates silverware. To me it’s more interesting and fun. Love it all. Jean
Thank you so much, Jean!
Beautiful Lory; I love the coordination of the plates’ colors with the flowers. Quick question; I have purchased those same linen napkins; gorgeous. However they stained with spices in bouillabaisse, anything chocolate etc. Even had them dry cleaned. How do you keep yours true to their pastel pink?
Thank you, Margot! I always send my linens to the dry cleaners right after the event. Chocolate always come out, but I’ve never served bouillabaisse, so I can’t speak to that specifically. That said, if it’s grease that’s staining them, I use one trick for stubborn stains. If you rub Sweet and Low over a dry grease stain, it lifts it out.
