Around the Home Tablescapes

Pink and Orange Tablescape for Spring

Welcome! If you are visiting Red Cottage Chronicles for the first time you are in for a real treat! Today kicks off a week long Spring Tablescape blog hop where more than 20 bloggers share their vision for the perfect spring table!  Several times during the year this very creative bunch feature seasonal and holiday themed tables.  Many thanks to Chole from Celebrate and Decorate for bringing us all together!

I have created a page where you can find all my tablescapes in one spot!

Awww Spring! This is the time of year when I start to imagine all the possibilities the year has to offer.  The air feels fresh with promise.  The promise of  longer, warmer days. The promise of foilage and flowers.  It’s the time when I start to think of the world in colour again! 

Pink and Orange Tablescape

And colour is the theme of my Spring tablescape this year! Oh, I had such fun creating this pink and orange tablescape for you.  Hints of blue and mint green compliment the bright orange and pink tissue paper flowers.

After I had finished styling my table I couldn’t help but get a craving for rainbow sherbet!

It has been a while since I bought anything other than flowers for my tablescapes. I headed to Homesense since they usually always have such pretty seasonal salad plates, but all the dishes they had were Easter themed.  I couldn’t resist picking up some for my Easter table, but I didn’t find any that suited my vision for this spring table.

Next stop was Pier 1. I don’t often shop there since they are on the spendy side, but I am really glad I went in.  I picked up this beautiful set of plates that could not be more perfect! Plus I had a 20% off coupon that was about to expire and I certainly didn’t want to let that happen!!

Aren’t they just perfect for my pink and orange tablescape! The colours are so vibrant and fun. I can imagine I will get a lot of use out of these through spring and summer!

I stacked them on top of a large plain white dinner plate and a blue scalloped edge dinner plate that are part of a set I purchased at Target a couple of years ago.  They are actually our everyday dishes.

While I didn’t find plates at Homesense, I did find these pretty blush pink hemstitched napkins.  They are the perfect shade of pink! I cut napkin rings from green card stock and tucked a peach carnation into each one.

I made the most delicious cocktail (which I will be sharing the recipe for next Saturday!). It is light and refreshing and just perfect for spring brunch.  I served them in gold rimmed wine glasses.  Simple Ikea water glasses also adorn each place setting.

Instead of a floral centrepiece I decided to decorate a cake with florals.  Dessert, flowers and a centrepiece all in one! I used a mix of fresh and faux flowers on top. I show you how easy it is to do in this post.

Dessert plates are at the ready for the cake to be cut!

The tissue paper flowers were a fun and easy project.  I arranged them down the centre of the table on top of a pastel turquoise table runner.  The table runner has a pattern embroidered on it, but I simply turned it over to expose the plain underside.

I used some faux greens and hydrangea blooms to accent the pink and orange flowers.

There is just something about this pink and orange tablescape that makes me happy! I can’t imagine anyone coming away from the table without a smile on their face!

    I am so inspired by your Spring tablescape. Your table is exactly what I need to get out of a winter slump here in bitterly cold Wisconsin. It warmed my soul. I immediately felt like I was in a warmer and happier location since your table has a bit of the tropics feel too. Your salad plates won my heart, especially of the colorful sitting duck. The large flowers throughout the table and as a cake topper is bold and so cheerful. The colors are perfect for making anyone feel energized and merry.

      Thanks so much Marsha! Is that duck not the cutest?! He is what sold me on the plates! I was so glad to hear the weather report say that this will be our last week of cold and snow before spring starts to emerge next week!! Usually winter can drag into April!!

    I enjoyed your spring tablescape. Those dishes really captured my eyes with their vibrant colors and designs. The blue dishes were a perfect backdrop to them. The flowers are so pretty on the table but that cake is a real wow factor! The florals on top of the cake look amazing- what a great idea!

    Oh Maureen, your table is lovely. I can relate to the pricey side to the beautiful things you can find at Pier One, but sometimes they just really get to me! I hadn’t seen the plates you selected, and I love how you have used them! The explosion of colors on the plates is fantastic! The idea to add the beautiful tissue paper flowers was just perfect! I like the blue dinner plates, too! I have started collecting basic colored dinner plates that will pair with a number of different patterned salad plates. Thank you for once again sharing your tablestyling talents with another hop!

    Maureen I love the bright colors you used for your fun tablescape! Over the last few years I have been drawn to oranges for spring even though in the past I only thought of it as a fall color. Now I realize that orange is part of spring too, especially with carrots and orange tulips.

    The plates you have used are just adorable!

    So happy to hop with you. Have a great spring!
