Good morning, friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and were able to get outside and enjoy some of that sunshine! Waking up to a bright, sunshiny day always makes me feel more productive and full of energy, don’t you agree?
Speaking of sunshine it also reminds me spring is just around the corner, so today I am excited to share this simple blue and white spring tablescape with you. And I have a few sweet friends sharing their easy spring looks too that are sure to inspire you.
I tend to set a lot of tablescapes, depending on the season or the holiday. It’s something I love doing and find it really lets me tap into my creativity. But because I set so many, sometimes I feel like they are repetitive in style, so this time I wanted to try something a little bit different.
The first thing I usually do is start with the sideboard. I like to keep this fairly simple and not too cluttered, plus I always make sure it reflects the style and colors of my tablescape. Last week I shared how I styled it for spring (see it here) and I thought it looked perfect just the way it was so I left it be.
Next, I almost always start my tablescape with a table runner. I like incorporating a runner because I feel like it helps all of the different pieces I add feel anchored but in an effort to try something different I decided to forgo the runner this time! 🙂 And I actually like how it looks, it feels a little more casual and relaxed.
Sometimes I create elaborate floral centerpieces (like here and here) and sometimes I stick to simple arrangements like this one. I picked up a bunch of white hydrangeas and crocuses from the grocery store and placed them in this utensil holder, which has become one of my favorite vases. I saw these sweet little crocuses and immediately fell in love with them, I think they are so delicate and just so perfect for spring! I had a couple sprigs left over that I didn’t use in the centerpiece and placed them in stemless wine glasses as a little something extra for the table.

Again, I usually only use these gold candlesticks with tapered candles when I set a table, but this time I mixed in a bunch pillar candles in different heights to give the table a little bit of variety.
At each place setting, I added a striped blue and white kitchen towel. I always love using kitchen towels as napkins because they are oversized and stand out a lot more. Next, I layered my favorite white beaded dishware on top of the napkins.
I used gold flatware at each setting because it plays so well with the other touches of gold in the space and helps to add a bit of warmth. And finally, simple wineglasses.
That is all there is to it, easy right? I love how relaxed it feels, not to mention bright and cheerful. It almost has a coastal feel to it.
Now, I hope you’ll stop by and visit these lovely tablescapes from a couple of my favorite friends, and be sure to come back later this week because I am sharing a colorful Easter tablescape too!

Just lovely! Did your husband make the lovely dining room table?
Alicia says
Thank you, Jo. Yes, he did build it. He used hardwood flooring for the top, so neat! 🙂
