5 Best Spring Centerpiece Themes
French Countryside
Sip mimosas in style with a floral garland table runner featuring purple cattails and white lilacs, evoking the rustic elegance of France in the springtime. Complement your centerpiece with crystal decanters, rustic wooden cheeseboards, and vintage white crockery.
Vintage Chic
Go to your local thrift store and hunt down interesting treasures you can use to add character to your spring table settings. Pitchers, soup tureens, dainty tea sets, candlesticks, and unique vases can make charming conversation pieces alongside seasonal flowers, potted greenery, crocheted tablecloths and embroidered table runners.
Romantic Rose
Perfect for Easter and Mother’s Day brunches, garlands featuring roses in full bloom evoke romance and elegance. Pair with crystal candlesticks, burnished brass tapers, and crisp white or cream table linen. Bring out your most elegant dishes and cutlery to complete the look.
Coastal Elegance
Embrace the bright hues of sky, sand, and sea with flowers in varying shades of blue, cream, and white. Set out glass jars and vases filled with seashells or ocean-themed ornaments. Anchor candles in clear receptacles filled with sand. A burlap table runner completes this nautical theme nicely.
Enchanted Garden
Sprinkle a little magic into your outdoor spring tablescape. Create a fairy garden feel with a floral garland table runner, rustic accessories, and the gentle glow of LED candles. Scatter miniature woodland creature figurines or artificial butterfly décor among the foliage. Add string lights to your outdoor area to enhance the fairy-like ambience of your setup as dusk sets in.
