How to create a spring place setting

Spring is my favorite time of year for creating tablescapes. Greenery and flowers are the best way to add some Spring vibes to a room or table, and I love to use a mix of real and faux. I’m going to walk you through the process of how I created a neutral Spring place setting and how the final table turned out.

First, I plan what I want to use and gather it together. Sometimes I use it all, add stuff, or even leave stuff out. Here is what I started with…

I always start a place setting with a charger and/or placemat. I almost always use two different sizes of plates – sometimes the same color, sometimes different colors/patterns. It’s all about layering to bring some dimension.

I love to find a unique way to personalize each place setting if I can. I had these personalized books that @bannervilleoaksfarm sent me and wanted to try them out as the place card. Adding another layer.

I tend to top off my place settings with something that has dimension. I prefer that look over a flat place setting. To give it a neutral Spring vibe I added some cotton stems. I wanted to tie in more black so I used these little chalkboards from the Target $1 spot and added everyone’s first initial to them. Double personalized!

I decided that looked kinda plain so I added a sprig of greenery to brighten the look up.

It’s that easy! Since the place settings were pretty busy and had a lot going on, I kept the table simple everywhere else. I used a simple table runner in the middle and added 3 small vases with a floral stem each. I used real hydrangeas on the buffet behind the table to tie in the greenery and white on the table. Added some cute neutral accents , a fun family sign, and waa-laa!

The weather outside may not be screaming spring, but the inside of my home is ready! I hope that helps you when planning a table for Spring. Be sure to check out the “Shop My Instagram” tab to find sources for this table and room.
