Vintage Inspired Spring Tablescape Idea in Warm Pinks & Yellows

I love my vintage-inspired spring tablescape. This decorating idea all started with a set of vintage pink glassware I found at my local antique store, and from there, it blossomed into a soft, welcoming table for spring.

I started with layers of faux eucalyptus garland as the centrepiece. Then, I added some extra greenery from Walmart to fill it out with natural textures. To bring in some colour, I scattered DIY crepe paper peonies throughout the garland. White candles and IKEA candlesticks gave the whole setup a romantic touch.

For the place settings, I layered textured white plates over rattan IKEA chargers. The vintage colorful glassware added just the right amount of colour. I tied casual linen napkins into knots for a relaxed feel. Cute no-bake lemon cheesecake trifle in more pink glassware at each setting is such a sweet and delicious touch!

I absolutely love how everything came together. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Springtime tulips and daffodils are a sure sign of new life, and I love how energizing those first blooms feel! After picking up some pressed flowers on Amazon, I had fun creating a few simple and beautiful crafts that reminded me of spring.

First up, DIY pressed flower bookmarks—so simple to make! With a pressed flower kit, you can quickly seal flowers onto wooden bookmarks with clear stickers or Mod Podge.

I also experimented with DIY resin coasters, layering pressed flowers into epoxy resin for a unique and decorative touch. And for a sweet gift idea, I decorated a homemade soy wax candle by sealing pressed flowers onto the lid with Mod Podge.

These crafts are a beautiful way to bring a little spring into your home or make thoughtful handmade gifts. If you enjoy decorating and crafting with spring flowers, these DIY pressed flower ideas are a must-try.

Make a Spring Tea Station

Creating a spring tea station is a fun and easy way to welcome the season! I styled mine on a wooden tiered tray with a fresh mix of aqua and lavender—perfect for a spring party, Easter, or Mother’s Day.

My inspiration came from a gorgeous lavender and aqua teapot and mug set from Chapters. When I found watercolor floral napkins on sale at Simons, I knew they’d be the perfect finishing touch!

To bring it all together, I filled small mason jars with loose tea and honey and added a matching mug, some faux lavender, and tiny bird nests for a springtime feel. Mercury glass tea light holders and copper tea spoons added a touch of sparkle.

Beside the tray, I set up a smaller cake stand with my teapot, a lavender-scented candle, and an essential oil diffuser for a cozy touch. This setup is just the ticket for a mother-daughter tea date, a spring gathering, or a lovely Easter or Mother’s Day celebration!
