This year, I’ve put together a vibrant and charming Colorful Vintage Easter Tablescape, and I can’t wait to share all the details with you! Using thrifted heirloom china teacups and bursts of purple and yellow garden blooms, this whimsical centerpiece came to life in the most delightful way.
Starting Your Easter Vintage Tablescape
Every great tablescape starts with a blank slate. Begin by envisioning the colors and elements you want to incorporate.
I gathered everything I thought might work and built my design around a colorful thrifted tablecloth, which set the tone for the entire table. Its pink, green, and turquoise hues were the perfect inspiration!
My green and pink goblets complemented the tablecloth beautifully. To stay true to a vintage theme, I sourced delicate teacups from thrift stores and paired them with floral napkins, gold leaf Easter eggs, a faux chocolate bunny, and berry napkin rings.
The combination added layers of charm and character.
This colorful pink, green and turquoise blue tablecloth that I found at thrift store works perfectly as a table runner.
The Centerpiece: Tea Cups and Garden Blooms
Inspired by the HGTV show “Escape to the Chateau” (Season 5, Episode 1), I recreated Angel’s teacup Easter tablescape. I even screen-captured her table to guide my vision!
I screen shot her table from the video. It is not too clear but you can get the idea of where I was going with my table.
Tea cups for the Vintage tablescape Centerpiece
Running around to a few thrift stores, I found some dainty tea cups. They were harder to find that I thought.
The effort was worth it. I planted pansies and snapdragons directly into the cups, adding moss for a finished look. At a thrift store I found a tin box and, coincidentally it is from a company in Abruzzo, Italy—home to our palazzo! This touch added an amazing personal connection.
I also bought a couple of packages of green moss and a gold tin box from a thrift store (that incidentally is from a company that started in Abruzzo, Italy where our Palazzo is).
Using my wood slice serving pieces brought in more of a natural woodsy English Garden tea feel.
These are great for weddings too!
Mini glass vases also from thrift stores are filled with green stems about to bloom that I cut from my garden.
With the addition of my gold leaf wooden eggs that I made (tutorial is here) this colorful Easter vintage tablescape centerpiece came to life!
Is there anything sweeter than a tiny vase filled with greens or flowers from your garden?
Setting the Table
Since I don’t own any vintage dishes, I just used my regular white dinner plates on my everyday woven placemats.
These placemats have become a favorite! I even have some earrings that look similar to these placemats! haha I was not going for placemats on my ears they just look similar to my placemats because they are natural colored, round woven earrings.
My grand kids are the ones who pointed this out to me haha!
Pink and green goblets brought in even more color, while floral and raspberry-colored napkins, tucked into green and purple berry napkin rings (actually candle rings!), tied everything together
A faux chocolate Peter Rabbit also joined in the fun of this tea cup tablescape 🙂
I love the look and feel of the vintage Easter tablescpe with all the colors, textures and flowers. It is a vintage garden.
Floral napkins in the same color scheme mixed with some solid raspberry colored napkins pulled through these green and purple berry napkin rings.
These napkin rings are really candle rings!
The finished Colorful Vintage Easter Tablescape
Can I even begin to tell you how much I love my tables since my hubby and son in law added a planked top to it? Tutorial is Here
I think this colorful Easter tablescape answers the question- How to set an Easter table?
Don’t you agree?
Happy Easter to all my buddies! Thank you for your continued support of Karins Kottage 🙂

Love the bright colors of this table. It is such a welcome look as we wait for Spring to fully arrive. Thanks for sharing the post this week. It will be a feature at the next party. #HomeMattersParty
It’s STUNNING!! The colors are beautiful and I love all your thrifted dishes…they are all so pretty!!! What a lovely table for Easter!
So fresh and Springlike! I happen to still have those napkin rings (in white). Thanks for the great ideas!
Hi Carol! I am so glad you still have some of those napkin rings! They really are timeless and work for so many holidays. Hope you and the family are doing well. Thanks so much for following me on my blog. I sooo appreciate it!

Super cute, my friend. So many great details. I hope that you will share this on the Fabulous Friday Link Party. You can find it on my website. Hugs to you.
This is just beautiful, the tea cups are gorgeous and your centerpiece is so different and pretty Karin! It’s casual and elegant at the same time and I love the bright fresh colors!
I love your choice of colors here. It’s so vibrant and happy. The centerpiece is phenomenal. I love the sweet pansies in the tea cups. I need to steal that idea for my Mother’s Day tablesetting. I lost my mother many years ago, but she would love this idea.
Pattie what a sweet way to remember your mom! I was thinking that this tablesape would work great for Mother’s day as well! Great minds think alike 🙂 Thank you so much for taking time to leave a comment. I would love to see your tablescape when you do this for Mother’s day!

This is so pretty Karin! The napkins, the teacups, the moss, the mixing and matching – love it all! Happy Easter to you!
Beautiful table. That chocolate bunny is so realistic and the pretty china is perfect for spring.
so beautiful, Karin. I love the color scape and those planted teacups are so precious! Love the alternate colored glassware, too. Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Really love the teacups and your bright cheerful color scheme!
Love that you used the tea cups like Angela. I really like all the pink anded other happy colors. I was inspired by her too when Igot the spring flowers adn used other pretty containers around the house on my Early Spring Table. Love her creativity.
Oh the teacups are so fun Karin! And your choco rabbit looks so real – but I suppose it’s good it isn’t, otherwise your guests might eat your centerpiece! 🙂 Thanks for the great Easter inspiration!
