Set a Spring Table: 3 Ideas to Inspire You

Spring is almost here, and if you’re anything like us you just can’t wait! After all, this is the most beautiful time of the year: the clouds roll away, the flowers are blooming. As far as we’re concerned, spring is the perfect time to throw a party!

Whether you’re planning a bridal shower, Mother’s Day brunch, graduation party, or any other springtime celebration, you will need the right tools to set a beautiful spring table setting. Thankfully, there are plenty of styles to choose from for your party! Here are a few spring-themed ideas to get you started:

Romantic Florals

There’s no doubt that spring is the season of flowers. During this time of year, everything comes back to life, creating a colourful display that we just can’t get enough of! Flowers are feminine, fragrant, and (of course) totally romantic. So why not take advantage of these beautiful little buds by incorporating floral elements into your spring tablescape?

There are many ways to make flowers the central theme of your spring table. Decorate with floral patterned linens, add floral accents to coasters and serving trays, and use a stunning bouquet as your centrepiece! You can also try a subtler approach by simply using floral colours (think pretty pastels) in the linens and tableware at your event.

Elegant Minimalism

While flowers are a wonderful choice for a spring table, it’s certainly not the only choice. In fact, if you’re getting ready for an outdoor brunch or luncheon, you may want to let the setting speak for itself! With spring in the air and the world blossoming all around you, a minimalist table can make a big impact.

Creating a minimalist table seems easy: keep your linens and tableware a crisp, clean white. This can look beautiful (particularly when it’s contrasted with a vibrant garden setting)! Also, lay out serving trays in neutral, wooden tones, or use linens or glassware with a stylized pattern. You can make your table look even better with the right accents. 

Ocean-Inspired

For those of us who live on the coast, spring isn’t always about blooming gardens — it’s about getting back to the beach! If you’re planning a seaside soiree (or if you’re planning a party for someone who loves the ocean), you can design your table to suit this particular style. Time to bust out some blue linens!

The type of “ocean-themed” party you’re having will determine your colour palette. Is your party more nautical? You’ll want to reach for a navy blue. Is it tropical? Find yourself something in the turquoise family. You can also add extra details to your table with jars of sand and seashells or even serving trays inspired by the sea!

Conclusion

The most important thing to remember when putting together a spring table is this: spring is a season of rebirth. The world is waking up after the long winter, and that means your table should be lively, too! Whatever theme you use, make sure that your table has plenty of room for the people you love.
