Easter Table Place Settings and Napkin Ring Ideas

Easter will be upon us soon and I thought I’d share some creative Easter Table Place Settings and Napkin Ring Ideas. There are so many ways to add in touches of Easter to your Easter table and I hope these ideas inspire you and help you come up with something fun for your Easter celebration. Happy Easter!

Robins Egg Blue Easter Place Settings

I love the robin’s egg blue colors mixed in with the other rustic elements of this tablescape. I didn’t have enough of the Easter bunny salad plates so I alternated the polka dot plates to make ten place settings. This is a little trick I use when I don’t have enough of one set of plates. Mixing and matching is a great way to make extra place settings. You can see more on this tablescape here.

I used a simple wood napkin ring to tie into the placemats and the dining table. You could use any type of bunny ear napkin ring here too.

French Blue Easter and Spring Place Setting with Wood Bead Bunny Ear Napkin Ring

I love this French Blue and Ivory color palette and the rustic elements of this Easter tablescape. I cut some blossoming branches from my yard to create the centerpiece. The wood bead napkin rings are so cute and I bought them from an Etsy shop.

Napkin Ring and Place Setting Ideas

I was asked to do a segment on a local TV daytime show and share a handful of napkin ring and place setting ideas. Here are a few of them that I created for the segment.

Here I used an ivory charger and teal dinnerware, a gold placemat and flatware, white and gold polka dot napkin and bunny ear napkin ring.

Here are some of the pink options I came up with for the TV segment.

I used a pink beaded bracelet for this napkin ring. You can also use it as a gift for your guests!

Here is another variation using a wood bunny ear napkin ring and turning it sideways.

Here I used a tissue paper napkin ring I found on Etsy and changed up the top plate.

I love the sage green colors here mixed with the wood bead bunny ear napkin ring.

Here’s another green variation with sage green dinnerware.

The napkin ring I used for this tablescape is a dark brown bunny made of wood and stained. Click here for more of the Easter Tablscape.

Here is another variation of the sage green tablescape. I added in some lavender and different shades of purple to the centerpiece.

This next one is a mint green Easter tablescape. Look closely at the salad plates! They have white easter bunnies painted on them.

I set this tablescape for a luncheon I hosted for Donny Osmond! To make it an Easter table, I swapped out the top salad plate for the Easter Bunny salad plates. I also bought the same salad plate that goes with the dinner plate.

Elegant Easter Place Settings and Napkin Ring Ideas

Here are some more elegant Easter tablescapes I’ve set over the years. I love pulling out my fine china and switching things up. It’d doesn’t always have to be pastels and easter bunnies!

For this tablescape, I used my white and silver fine china. To add a touch of Easter to the table, I used faux cherry blossom branches in the silver vases on the table and silver bunny napkin rings.

This next table is one I set at my other home in Washington. I used my gold and white fine china, including my favorite antique Limoges Haviland vintage pieces. I mixed them in with my newer gold and white dinnerware. To add a touch or Easter to the table, I spray painted some wooden bunnies gold to match the dinnerware.

Versatile Spring and Easter Tablescapes

I always try to set a table that is versatile and that works for both Spring and Easter. I was on a lavender and purple kick for awhile and set a handful of tables with this color palette. For this one, I went with lavender and white and used these cute Easter bunny napkin rings for Easter. Click here for more details on this tablescape below. When Easter is over, just remove the easter napkin rings and any decor and swap it out with neutral spring items.

This last Easter table I’m sharing is one I did for the Martha Stewart Macy’s collection. I used the Baroque dinnerware and added in a seasonal spring salad plate that came as an addition to the dinnerware collection. I also used these cute bunny ear napkin rings and I love how it all came together.

I hope all the different Easter Tables with different places settings and napkin rings gives you some great ideas on what to do for your Easter celebration this season. Happy Easter and wishing you all a wonderful Spring!

I’m sharing 10 of the best Fall Themed Tablescape ideas all in one post! I thought it would be fun to put them all in one post and hopefully these will inspire you to create a Fall Themed Tablescape of your own.

Many of these tablescapes have pumpkins, some have fall colors, some have turkeys for Thanksgiving, and some are all of the above! All of them can be used for Thanksgiving or during the Fall season. l will share a little bit of information about each tablescape below and you can click on each link for all the details of each one!

Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape

Click here to see the post.

This is what I call an “end of summer and transition into fall tablescape”. I used colors that work for both seasons and I alternated the dishes to create ten place settings.

Pumpkin Themed Fall Tablescape

 Click here to see the post.

This burnt orange and tan pumpkin themed tablescape is still one of my favorites ever! The dishes have pumpkins painted on them and I just love the color combo. I also love the velvet pumpkins nestled into the garland centerpiece.

Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape

Click here to see the post.

This tablescape is a mix of old and new dishes. I mixed my vintage Limoges Haviland gold and white scalloped plates with some newer solid green dishes. The top plates with the gold pumpkins on them are from my local Fred Meyer/Kroger Co. grocery store!

Sage Green and White Fall Transitional Tablescape

Click here to see the post.

I actually created two tablescapes using two sets of dishes. This is another one of my “end of summer and transition into fall” tablescapes. There’s no pumpkins or turkeys in the garland but you could easily set this tablescape for early fall and then add some thanksgiving touches with pumpkins and turkeys.

I set one tablescape outside for the kids and one inside for the adults. I alternated the plates from the two sets of dishes and made it possible to create enough place-settings for sixteen people. This is a great way to make enough place settings when you don’t have enough dishes for a larger group.

Blue and Orange Pumpkin Themed Tablescape

Click here to see the post.

This blue and orange tablescape sort of came about on accident. I never intended it to turn out this way but nothing I had planned to do was working and so I started playing around with different dishes I had and this is what came about. I used paper placemats that added a pop of color to the table. The garland is full of velvet pumpkins, faux flowers, and faux blueberries.

This one was so much fun! I took a poll on my Instagram stories to see how many liked it and 10% of the people who answered didn’t like it! Hahaha, that’s ok, because I liked it and 90% of the people I asked did too. Can’t please everyone! LOL! I did two variations of it! With and without the bowls. Which do you prefer?

Black, Yellow, and White Cabin Tablescape

Click here to see the post.

Every summer I set a new tablescape at our cabin in Montana. This is the one I did this year (2020). I put the leaf of the table in to make it seating for eight and the theme was black and white check with a touch of mustard yellow. I foraged for some wild grasses and flowers around the cabin and that became the centerpiece. I love how this one turned out!

Green, Gold, and White Thanksgiving Tablescape

Click here to see the post.

Here is another variation of the green and gold pumpkin tablescape above. I changed out the top plate for these green and gold pumpkin plates and changed out the napkins and drink-ware. I love how simple it was to switch things up.

Rustic Thanksgiving Tablescape 

Click here to see the post.

This is what I jokingly call my turkey tablescape! I love the using the turkey shaped serving pieces as part of the tablescape. I also used some tan colored velvet pumpkins and the little turkey placard holders. The turkey shaped salt and pepper shakers also made it perfect for Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Silver and White Tablescape

Click here to see the post.

One thing I like to do is to set a table for Thanksgiving and then take out any of the decor that is thanksgiving or fall related and swap it out for Christmas. Here I used my fine china and added some silver mercury pumpkins and silver turkeys into the garland centerpiece. When Thanksgiving was over, I took all that out and added in some silver mercury ornaments and it became my Christmas tablescape.

Outdoor Farm To Table Entertaining

Click here to see the post.

This is an outdoor, end of summer and transition into fall tablescape that I set for a dinner party in my backyard at our home in Washington. This is in my top five of favorite tablescapes. It was recently published in American Farmhouse Style magazine. I created this tablescape with the help of my friend Amy Brown who owns Laughing Goat Flower Farm. I cooked some of my homemade recipes with veggies from my garden and Amy’s farm and we created the centerpiece and garland with flowers and greenery from the farm and my backyard. This was so much fun and I wish I could go back in time to this day!

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorite fall themed tablescapes! Thanks so much for stopping by! Please subscribe to my blog so you’ll  never miss a post! Happy Tablescaping!

Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape

I set this Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape a few weeks ago for a family gathering, and I really love how it all came together! I had a lot of these colors in my kitchen and dining area from my summer decor, and I think these colors also work great for a decor transition into fall!

Summer into Fall Decor

I am never quite ready for summer to end and fall to arrive, so maybe that’s why I always do a Summer-into-fall transitional tablescape. I had found these yellow and blue plates at HomeGoods and literally went to every HomeGoods store in my area to find them. I never found enough of them for ten place-settings, so I used one of my favorite tricks to create enough place-settings for my table.

My Favorite Trick to Create Enough Place-settings

What do you do if you don’t have a full set of dishes to make enough place settings for your dining table? Mix and match sets of dishes! Click here to see how I set two tablescapes for twenty people using my favorite little trick!

Here you can see how I alternated the dinner and salad plates. This photo above has the patterned white and yellow dinner plate on the bottom and the solid blue patterned plate on top.

And here is the alternating place-setting where the solid patterned blue dinner plate is on the bottom and the white and yellow patterned salad plate is on the top. You can even mix and match the napkins as well.

The Place-Setting

Layering is the key to a beautiful place-setting. Mixing solids and colors is also a great way to contrast. For the rest of the place setting, I started with a matching navy blue placemat. Next, I used a white wood charger and then alternated the dinner and salad plates.

I used my gold and silver flatware and some dark blue goblets.

The Centerpiece Garland

To create the centerpiece garland, I layered a base faux eucalyptus garland on top of a navy blue table runner. I always “fluff” my garlands and faux greenery, and florals. This makes them look more natural and real!

Next, I took some faux blueberry stems and slid them into the garland.

I then slid in some yellow faux flowers to add a pop of color to the garland.

You can also leave the centerpiece garland on the table without the dishes as table decor.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of how I created this Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape and that you found some inspiration for your own home decor. Here are a few more photos of the tablescape, and I’ll link all the sources or similar items below so you can source things and replicate this look if you like!

Enjoy!

Here are the sources I could link for you to replicate this look. The blue dishes were from Pier 1, which is out of business, and the other plates are a HomeGoods find, and I’ve yet to find any more, but they often have other patterns that are similar. They are Italian-made dishes.

Lavender and Teal Spring Tablescape

I’m sharing all the details of this beautiful Lavender and Teal Spring Tablescape that I set for Sunday dinner a few weeks ago. The darker purple and teal colored flowers were the inspiration behind this tablescape. I love mixing and matching dishes to come up with new place settings and this tablescape came together so beautifully.

The Place-setting

For the place setting on this spring tablescape, I mixed and matched different sets of dishes I already had. I started with a charger, then layered a dinner and salad plate on top. When I set a table, I think about what I’ll be serving for dinner, and that’s how I decide on how many dishes to use in the place setting.

I love the mix of the solid charger on the bottom, the polka dot dinner plate in the middle, and another solid plate on top for the salad.

I also chose a solid-colored napkin and a natural hyacinth placemat.

The Garland Centerpiece

When I serve buffet style, which I did here, I will usually create a garland centerpiece for the middle of the table. Here, I used a base greenery garland and then layered in the faux flowers into it. I love the contrast between the dark purple and lavender flowers and the different shades of green in the garland.

I used a burlap table runner underneath the garland.

Last but not least, I added teal candlesticks and lavender candles to the table.

Spring, Easter, and Mother’s Day

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of my teal and lavender spring tablescape! One thing I love about this one is that it can be easily transformed with a few tweaks for Easter and Mother’s Day! For Easter, I just changed out the napkin rings and added some white bunnies into the garland and onto the table. For Mother’s Day, I will leave it as is! I’m always happy when I can make tablescapes work for multiple occasions and holidays!

Here are some other tablescapes I’ve done that you might like too! Most importantly, they are all versatile and can be used for Easter, Spring, and Mother’s Day.

Happy Spring!

xoxo,

I get asked often where I get my faux flowers, dishes, and other home decor items so I thought I’d put this post together sharing all my favorite Spring Decorating Essentials for your Home!

One of the items I added to my kitchen this year was a new pink rug. I looked for months and finally found this one and it was a steal!

I will link everything throughout the post so scroll down four sources!

The Kitchen Decor Essentials

I love having a ginger jar filled with flowers and these faux flowers are my favorite! If you take good care of them, you can use them year after year.

Faux Flowers and Branches

Ginger Jars and Vases

I also like to add flowers to other spaces in my home. To add some spring decor to my living room, I filled a ginger jar with faux blossom branches and faux pussy willow stems.

Here I used more ginger jars on the coffee table.

My Favorite Spring Dishes

Spring gives me the perfect excuse to pull out all my pink and white dishes! You can never have enough pink!

This is my Easter/Spring tablescape. I love this french blue color palette mixed with rustic wood accents.

Cake Stands, Serving Bowls, Items For Shelf Styling, and Other Spring Decorating Essentials

I love pretty cook books and books about flowers and gardening. I’ve linked some of my favorites for you.

Lavender and White Easter Tablescape

Disclaimer: This post does include affiliate links for your convenience. This is at NO additional cost to you but earns me a small commission. To read more, check out our disclosure policy.

Welcome friends! I’m excited to share my Elegant Lavender and White Easter Tablescape with you!

If you arrived here from  Home With Holliday, I’m so excited you’re here! Holliday Johnson “Holly” is Home With Holliday and I’m the other Holly at Home With HollyJ! We have become good friends after finding each other on Instagram! Holliday loves entertaining and setting a beautiful table as much as I do. We are so alike it’s crazy! Don’t forget to check out the other ladies in our Easter Tablescape blog hop for more inspiration! I’ll share the links at the bottom of the post!

It’s so hard to believe that we will most likely be celebrating Easter without all our extended family due to social distancing and stay-at-home orders due to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s not looking like we will be able to attend church services on Easter Sunday or gather with our large family for Easter dinner. I know we will make the best of it and find a way to make it a special day. No matter what happens though, one thing is for sure! My Easter table will be set and ready to host whoever is here with us.

I have really been on a lavender kick lately! I keep finding the most beautiful lavender-colored dishes which inspired this Lavender and White Easter Tablescape. I bought these Anthropologie plates over the summer and have been waiting for the right time to use them. I think you’ll love this tablescape just as much as I do.

The Inspiration for this Tablescape

What inspired this Lavender Easter Tablescape? Two reasons! First. it’s Easter (and spring) and a perfect time to use this color combo, second, I had another tablescape photoshoot using these lavender and white poppy dishes for a collaboration I was doing for a ceramic company. I figured I’d get the most out of the centerpiece arrangement I made for that photoshoot.

Look at the flowers on the dishes I received from Bico Ceramics! The anemones look very similar to their Poppy dishes. These dishes are out of stock at the moment but when they are back, I’ll link them here for you!

I was able to get some fresh anemone flowers from my friend Amy’s beautiful flower farm while I was home in Washington. These flowers look very similar to the flowers on the dishes. (Laughing Goat Flower Farm)

Amy is a dear friend of mine and her farm is near my other home in Washington. She cut the anemones the morning I was flying back to Utah and I carried them on the plane with me for my shoot the next day. I was so happy that they lasted long enough for me to create and photograph this Easter tablescape. It’s such a blessing to have a friend who grows amazing flowers and shares them with you. My photo doesn’t do either the dishes or the flowers justice!

Okay! Now back to the tablescape! I just had to share a few of those photos of the other table!

The Centerpiece

I created an asymmetrical centerpiece for the middle of the table using the anemones from Amy’s farm and then filled in the rest with store-bought flowers.

Since my table is so large, it can feel a little empty in the middle with just one large centerpiece. To fill in the space some, I pulled out some artificial greenery and layered it on either side of the centerpiece. I then added a few faux flower stems to it. Can you tell the difference between the fresh and faux flowers? I often mix fresh and faux flowers depending on what I’m doing and if what I need isn’t in season. The good thing about faux is they never die and you can use them many times over if you take care of them and store them properly. I still prefer fresh flowers of course, but sometimes you just use what you have!

Lastly, I added the white Easter sign from Krumpets Home Decor in the middle of the table and tucked some small white ceramic bunnies throughout the garland. I then added these bunny salt and pepper shakers on either end of the table. Right when I was finished setting the table and getting ready to photograph it, the rustic candlesticks I had ordered from Magnolia arrived! Just in time! I love how they tie into the rustic silverware I used.

I forgot to mention the table runner! It’s actually two of them! (HomeGoods) My table is so long that I have to buy two of them usually so that they hang over the edge. You don’t have to have them hang over the edge though and one will work too. I just like to change it up and these lace table runners are so pretty. Another white element in the table to compliment the lavender dishes and tie into the charger and napkin rings.

The Place-setting

The dishes are from Anthropologie (linked below~~ the photos are incorrect in the source section so just click through the photos that look like multi-colored napkins) and they are even more stunning in person. I started with a white wood charger then layered the dinner and salad plate on top.

You can see the details of the plates in this close-up shot. I love how the white charger compliments the dishes. I used my silver rustic silverware which goes so nicely with the rustic reclaimed wood table and candlesticks. To make it Easter themed, I used these adorable bunny ear napkin rings from Krumpets Home Decor. I love how the napkin ring is flat on the bottom so it stands up once you slide the napkin in and this is one fun element that the kids will love! How cute are these?

The Easter Tablescape that Transitions to a Spring Tablescape

One thing I always try to do when decorating for any holiday is to decorate for the season too. I try to create my tablescapes to be versatile to save time and expense. I’ll create a garland centerpiece for the table for Spring and then I’ll add different items into the garland for Easter. When Easter is over, I can take out the Easter decor and leave it as is for Spring or I can change up the dishes or napkins for Mother’s Day. So many possibilities!

Here’s an example of one I did for Spring, St. Patrick’s Day, and Mother’s Day! This is one of my favorites! This one here is one I made for Winter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day! I created eleven different tablescapes with the same centerpiece garland!

Also, here are some other tablescapes I’ve created that all have a lavender theme. I didn’t realize how much I liked lavender until I noticed how much I’ve used it in my tablescapes this past year. I created this first one for a Yankee Candle collaboration in the fall but this would work perfectly for Easter and Spring too!

Click here to see the entire post! Lavender and Mint Green Tablescape.

Here’s another tablescape I created last summer with Teal and Lavender. The polka dot plates and the robin’s egg blue colors remind me of Spring and Easter! Lavender and Teal Spring Tablescape

One last lavender-themed tablescape! I set this table in my backyard at my home in Washington last summer when I hosted a dinner party for my girlfriends. I used fresh lavender plants as the centerpiece. Oh…..this makes me excited for summer and outdoor dinners! Click here to see more of the Simple Lavender Inspired Centerpiece.

Whew! That was a lot! I hope you enjoyed this post and that it inspires you to set the table and gather your friends and family. Sometimes it’s good to go all out and other times it’s nice to keep it simple. Hopefully, you’ve seen a little of both!

Thanks for stopping by!  Now, head on over to my other tablescaping bff, Lory,  To Have To Host to see how she set her Easter table. Lory, Holliday, and I have met up in person and become real-life friends. It’s so fun making friends with these amazing ladies who all love to host and entertain! Happy Easter and I hope you’re all staying healthy and safe and that you have a wonderful easter celebration however that may be.

How to Create a Versatile Winter Centerpiece Garland

Today I’m sharing how to create a versatile winter centerpiece garland for my dining table. This is the most versatile garland centerpiece and I’ve used it over and over again to create different Tablescapes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, and Valentines Day.

Disclaimer: This post does include affiliate links for your convenience. This is at NO additional cost to you but earns me a small commission. To read more, check out our disclosure policy.

I created this garland centerpiece out of one faux cedar garland and then added different types of faux branches and picks into it. I added frosted eucalyptus and painted pine cone picks. All of this is laid on top of a table runner.

To store it and re-use it again, I cut up a large cardboard box and folded the sides up. I slide it onto the cardboard box using the table runner to help slide it and then wrap it in plastic. Doing it this way keeps it in tact and makes it easy to move to the storage room.

https://evolutionhomedecor.com/products/juniper-spray-21?_pos=4&_sid=c1f306bc2&_ss=r

Why This is my Favorite Garland Centerpiece

One of the reason’s I love this centerpiece garland so much is that I can put it on the table in early November and use it all the way through winter. I’ll share all the different Tablescapes I’ve created using this same base garland. Even I was surprised at how many versions I’ve done when I put them all together in this post.

Using this same centerpiece garland over and over again is a great way to reuse your holiday decor and it save time and money. You can also do this with real branches and flowers but it won’t last as long! I’ve done it both ways mixing faux and fresh. Be creative and do what works best for you!

Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, Valentines Day and More!

I usually decorate for Christmas in early November and so I always try to create a versatile garland centerpiece that can be changed multiple times in multiple ways.

I’ll share all the different versions and little detail on each tablescape below. Not only can you add different things into the garland for each holiday and winter season, but you can also change it up by using different dishes, table linens, votive candle holders, and candlesticks. I always change out the pillows in the end chairs to match too.

2017 Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Winter Versions

This is the first Thanksgiving tablescape I made with this garland. To make it work for Thanksgiving, I added in silver turkeys, silver mercury pumpkins, and some other taupe colored pumpkins made out of fabric. For the place settings I used my white and silver fine china which was a gift from my husband for our twentieth anniversary. To make it more elegant, I used votive candle holders nestled into the garland and silver candlesticks with white pillar candles.

As soon as Thanksgiving was over I took out all the pumpkins and turkeys and added in silver mercury ornaments to transform it to my Christmas tablescape. I also changed the dishes to my everyday blue dishes and switched out the napkins. These simple changes changed the entire look of the table.

I added the little reindeer salt and pepper shakers. I love adding these small details!

When Christmas was over, I took out all of the ornaments and changed the place-setting again to make it more neutral for the rest of the Winter season

You can see how different it looks by changing things up with the place-setting, linens, and other items added to or removed from the base garland.

Here are some other versions for 2018 and 2019.

2018 Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Winter Versions

This is a tablescape I created for Jordan Winery. I used my blue and white dishes with silver napkins. I added in velvet pumpkins as well as the silver turkeys. I love how the blue and green look together.

To change things up for this years Christmas tablescape, I added in blue tiny bottle brush trees and blue ornaments along with the silver mercury glass ornaments.

2019 Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Winter Versions + a Valentines Version for the Beginning of 2020

Here’s one other way I used the same garland as a centerpiece. I host a Christmas cookie exchange every year and the garland was a perfect centerpiece.

Sometimes after we’ve had family dinner, I will take all the dishes off the table and just leave the garland centerpiece on it’s own. For this one, I left the winter white frosted peonies and the mistletoe stems I had put in the tablescape for this years decor. Each year I add something new into the base to make it different.

I wanted to enjoy the winter decor I’d left up after Christmas and I had this idea to add some pink flowers into the garland and use it for Valentines Day! I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before!

I love how it turned out and it’s now on my list of favorites! I like the idea of combining my Valentines Day decor with my winter decor. This saved me so much time and money! The only thing I bought for this Pink and White Hearts Valentines Day Tablescape was the heart shaped plates. I love it when I can pull something like this off without a ton of effort!

I added in some pink votive candle holders and the little “love” sign at the end of the garland. I also used rose gold miniature salt and pepper shakers. I filled the salt shakers up with pink Himalayan salt and they are so cute!

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the all the different ways I’ve reused this same winter centerpiece garland. I might just keep it up until Saint Patricks Day! I counted twelve different Tablescape variations with this one base garland!

Enjoy!

XOXO,

Green, Gold, and White Thanksgiving Tablescape

One of my favorite things to do is create a beautiful Thanksgiving tablescape where we can gather as a family for Thanksgiving dinner. I thoughly enjoyed creating this Green, Gold, and White Thanksgiving Tablescape. I think this one is one of my favorites!

The Place-setting — Mixing Green, Gold, and White

I like to layer different plates, chargers, and placemats to create a more dramatic look. The top plate has a green pumpkin painted on it and it matches the green plates I had recently purchased.

For the placemat I used this hyacinth placemat to add some different texture to the place-setting. The charger is one of my favorites as it goes with so many different place-settings.

The green plates are one of my most versatile sets of dishes. I’ve mixed them with white and silver, green and gold, green and white and I may even use them with red for a Christmas tablescape!

I also used my gold and white vintage limoges haviland (ranson pattern) antique plates. These are also versatile and I’ve used them in so many different place-settings. Mixing the old with the new is one thing I love to do.

The Centerpiece Garland

I like creating a garland down the middle of the table when I use my bigger tables at both my homes. It fills up the empty space in the middle of the table if you’re not serving food on the table. Keeping it lower to the table doesn’t block your view of the guests across from you.

For this garland I used faux greenery and flowers. One reason I like using artificial greenery and flowers is that it can be used over and over again. If you buy quality products and you take care to store them properly, they will last you for many years.

I started with two base garlands on the bottom. I then layered in eucalyptus and a mix of green flowers.

I love velvet pumpkins and they are one of my favorite items to add to a tablescape. They come in all sizes and colors. Some come with real stems and some are faux. Can you tell if these are real stems or faux? (they are faux!)

One thing to look for when buying velvet pumpkins is that they work better when they have something inside of them that helps weigh them down, like rice or small beans. This makes them a lot easier to decorate with and they stay in place. (I’ll link some below at the end of the post)

Last I added in wooden candlestick holders and taper candles.

Mixing different textures and colors and layering them is key. The wooden candlestick holders and hyacinth placemats connect the reclaimed wood table to the place-setting. The velvet pumpkins match the pumpkin plates.

The white and gold plates tie the flatware and gold accents on the charger and pumpkin plates together. The gold and white napkins, gold napkin rings, and gold flatware connect all the gold and whites together. Lastly, the amber goblets I used tie all the gold and amber colors in the centerpiece and place-setting together.

Details, Details, Details!

I am known to say “the beauty lies in the details” and I wholeheartedly believe that! In this green, gold, and white thanksgiving tablescape I paired rustic and elegant elements and connected them together with colors and textures. It’s okay to mix these together!

You don’t have to have ten sets of dishes to pull this off. I have a handful of items that I use often, like the chargers. These chargers have been used in many of my tablescapes as have the placemats.

Invest in a few versatile items and dish sets, mix and match them and you’ll be surprised at how many combinations you can make. Here is another version of a similar tablescape where I used many of the same items. Click here to see the full post. Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape

Here you can see some of the same items. The placemat and top plate are different and the napkins and goblets are different. I changed the candlesticks holders to these gold ones and took out the gold pumpkins. I also switched the burlap table runner to this green shorter one.

I turned the napkins upside down to create a different look. You can see how making just a few changes, this tablescape looks similar but different. This one is more elegant and doesn’t have the same rustic components as the other.

Be Creative and Have Fun!

Most importantly, don’t stress over creating a beautiful tablescape. Be creative and use items that reflect your personal taste. Most of the time I start out with an idea in my head and when I go to create the tablescape, it doesn’t come out like I had envisioned it.

If something doesn’t work, keep playing with different items you have in your collection and eventually you’ll find something that works! You don’t have to spend a lot of money. Invest in a few items that are versatile and build your collection of items slowly. I’ve accumulated a lot over the years and I use everything I have collected.

You can also check with local rental places that rent dishes and items for weddings or events. Many of them carry table linens, tables, chairs, flatware, and dishes. It’s quite affordable if you don’t want to accumulate a bunch of dishes or things you don’t use that often or want different colors than you have. Storage can also be an issue so if you don’t have the storage space, this may be a great option for you.

I hope this inspires you to create your own Thanksgiving tablescape and gather those friends and family you love for dinner. If you’re looking for some good thanksgiving recipes, click here for my roll recipe: Best Homemade Rolls and here for my Brined Turkey Recipe.

Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape

One of my favorite times of year to decorate and create tablescapes is Fall. There are so many beautiful colors to play with and pumpkins seem to come in all sorts of colors, sizes, and velvet! Who doesn’t love a velvet pumpkin?!! This Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape if full of dark green velvety pumpkins, beautiful faux flowers and some of my treasured dishes.

I love adding other elements in the dining room to compliment the tablescape. You can never have enough velvet pumpkins so I added more brown colored velvet pumpkins below this beautiful wood sign from Teal Barn Signs (link for this sign is at the end of the post in the slider with photos of items). To add some color to the space below the sign, I put some of the leftover flowers from the garland centerpiece in a galvanized tin bucket and set it on an old antique crate.

The Place-Setting

For the place-setting I used my dark green dishes layered with my favorite antique limoges haviland gold and white plates. I like mixing the old with the new.

I used gold flower shaped placemats, gold flatware, a gold rimmed goblet and a dark green cloth napkin and gold napkin ring.

I added in accents of gold all throughout the table. Even the charger has gold antiquing on the edges.

The Garland Centerpiece

I like creating long garlands to fill up the middle of the table. My table is a large trestle table and I like the way it looks when there’s not a lot of open space on the table when I create this type of tablescape. I don’t typically put my food on the table as it’s easily stained so if you prefer to add the food to the table you can use matching serving pieces and make the centerpiece or garland smaller.

Another reason I like to do it this way is that it keeps the decor lower to the table so when you’re seated for dinner, you can see the people across from you. A centerpiece should draw your eyes to it but not block your view of the other guests.

I like to create a little more height in the center of the garland and then let it taper off to the end. For this tablescape, I put the largest green velvet pumpkin in the middle of the garland and then the smaller ones off-set throughout the rest of the garland.

I started with a base green garland and then going in opposite direction from the center on each side I layered in different faux green stems and white flowers.

Then I added a few more green velvet pumpkins, gold candlesticks with ivory taper candles and gold votive candles filled in the rest of the open spaces.

Final Details of the Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape

I always say the beauty lies in the details and if you look closely at all the little details I think you’ll agree with me! Here you can see one of the little details where I mix the old with the new is the antique green salt and pepper shakers. These were a gift from my mom. She is a dish lover too, so adding these onto the table reminds me of her and all the fun times we’ve had hunting for dishes in antique stores.

Another little detail I added was these gold and white bread plates that said “harvest” and “gather” on them. I alternated them on each place-setting and it brings in the fall element to the table. They also paired perfectly with the gold and with antique plates.

The last detail was adding these white and green velvet pillows to the end chairs. They paired perfectly with the green velvet pumpkins and it’s the final piece to the entire tablescape that makes it perfect for a fall family gathering around the dinner table.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the details of this Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape. Creating these tablescapes brings me such joy and I look forward to creating more memories with my loved ones around our dinner table.

Wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving in the coming month and as I reflect on what I’m grateful for, I am grateful for all of you! The fact that I get to share what I love with you and hopefully inspire you to create your own beautiful gathering table makes my heart happy. Thank you so much for stopping by and allowing me to do this!

XOXO,

Blue and Orange Pumpkin Themed Tablescape

Every year I like to create a pumpkin tablescape and this years came out completely different than I had planned it in my head. Blue was not in my original plan but as I was mixing and matching different dishes to see how they looked together I threw a blue plate in the mix just to see how it looked. The result was this blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape!

As soon as I saw the blue against the orange, I knew I was changing my original plan. I have a lot of blue decor in my Highland, Utah home and my fall decor colors had a lot of orange colors mixed in so this worked out perfectly and matched my fall decor.

Two Different Versions

When I was setting the table, I had it set without the blue bowls. I liked it but then I added the blue bowls onto the table and I instantly liked it more. Here you can see each version. Which is your favorite?

Here you can see more of the orange and less blue. Either way I love the bright colors and how this tablescape came together.

One way you can determine how many plates you want use and whether you add a bowl or not depends on what you’re serving for dinner.

The Place-Setting

For my blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape, I first started with the place-setting. I chose a teal blue charger and then alternated the blue and orange plates.

I wanted this pumpkin tablescape to be fun and not formal so I chose to use these paper placemats that came in a tablet. You just tear them off one at a time and they are super cute and affordable!

I used a light blue cloth napkin with these autumn leaf napkin rings and my everyday silver flatware.

The Centerpiece Garland

To create the centerpiece I layered two faux olive branch leafy garlands on top of a long burlap table runner.

Then I layered in faux fall colored leaf stems, blue and brown berry picks and a few faux sage picks on top of the two garlands. Then I nestled in some velvet pumpkins placing the largest one in the center and the smaller pumpkins in and around the garland.

Finishing Touches

I’m always about the details and adding simple things like matching salt and pepper shakers is one way I add an extra touch. I’m always on the hunt for cute salt and pepper shakers. I guess it’s safe to say that I collect them too! These cute copper and silver salt and pepper shakers matched perfect.

Another finishing touch and detail I added was the pumpkin sign on the wall in the dining room. Just underneath the sign I placed an orange metal container filled with more of the same leafy branch stems I used in the garland and placed it on top of an old antique crate.

The pumpkin sign is from Teal Barn Signs. I’ll link the sign and all the other items I’m able to below.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of this fun blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape!
