Styling A Spring Garden Tablescape
With the arrival of spring comes a certain feeling of newness. The leaves on the trees begin to bud, the flowers start to peek up out of the ground, and the birds return from their winter travels.
It is one of the seasons I look forward to the most.
Spring reminds me how much I enjoy the changing seasons and how blessed I am to live in a place where I get to experience them.
The start of spring also means that gardening season is just around the corner. Recently, I shared a DIY tutorial for how to give your flower pots an aged stone look.
That DIY sparked an idea and became the inspiration for this month’s supper club theme.
Today I am sharing how I created my table, as well as some simple tips for how to style a spring tablescape in your home using inspiration from the garden.
How To Set The Table
When it came to styling my garden tablescape, I kept the decor mostly neutral with just a hint of color in the form of some spring greenery.
For the place setting, I started by creating layers using some of my go-to basics like woven charger plates and my favorite beaded white plates.
I love using neutral pieces like these to style my tables whenever possible because they are so versatile. In fact, you might have noticed that I used the same chargers and plates to decorate this year’s Easter table.
Then I added a few simple spring touches, like these galvanized napkin rings. They remind me of a rusty, aged watering can. Like the kind that you might find in an old barn or potting shed.
Next, I wrapped the silverware in another napkin, tied it with some twine, and added a small spring of greenery. I love the color and the detail that the greenery adds to the table, don’t you?
To add the greenery, I used a floral pick from the craft store. I was able to do all four place settings with just one pick. It was a quick and easy way to make the napkins look customized without spending a lot of money to do it.
To finish the place setting I added a packet of seeds on each plate. Nothing says gardening like fresh flowers and herbs, right? My youngest daughter, Harper, helped me pick out the seed packets. I plan to use them for another project in the near future – a DIY herb garden! (Of course, that is assuming all goes well and the herbs grow…Stay tuned for more on that later this spring.)
Tips For Creating A Spring Garden Centerpiece
I created my spring garden centerpiece using items I already had on hand, including this old wooden crate and some flower pots that I found mixed in with my gardening supplies.
I shared the unique story behind this crate during my spring home tour. It has a special meaning to me, and I am so happy I found a way to display it as a part of the styling for my spring garden tablescape.
To bring some of the outside in, I added some Spanish moss to the crate and nestled my DIY planter in the center along with a few clay pots.
It wouldn’t be spring (or a garden) without some bunnies! To finish my centerpiece I added a few of my favorites from Pottery Barn.
I love to use these little bunnies throughout my home all spring. Aren’t they the cutest? I think I may need to get a few more for next year!

I think your tablescape is fantastic! Not only the way you styled it but I love how you angled it on your table. Then I saw your wall decor with the window in the back ground and fell in love with it . The decor on your sideboard looks amazing too. The entire room is so springy and inviting. I love it!
