Colorful Easter Vintage Tablescape

This year my Easter table decor has turned out to be a colorful Easter Vintage tablescape and I am so excited to share this charming table display with you.

I found a few heirloom china tea cups at thrift stores to create a whimsical centerpiece.

It was so fun to use vibrant mix of purple and yellow garden blooms, flowing from my teacups.

How to start the Easter vintage tablescape

You start with a blank slate. Then formulate what colors and things you want to use for your table.

I begin by gathering lots of things I think might work for my colorful Vintage Easter tablescape. I started with this thrift store colorful tablecloth. That chose the color scheme for me. My green and pink goblets match the colors perfectly.

Since I was going for a vintage look I wanted to use tea cups. I found some at the thrift store. Gold leaf Easter eggs, floral napkins, a faux chocolate bunny and berry napkin rings will look great together!

This colorful pink, green and turquoise blue tablecloth that I found at thrift store works perfectly as a table runner.

Inspired by the show on HGTV Escape to the Chateau season 5 episode 1. Angel, the lady on the show shares her tea cup Easter tablescape and that is what I was going for.

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.

Planting them with some pansies and snapdragons was super easy! Basically just plop them into the tea cup dirt and all.

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?

Placesettings

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!

A faux chocolate Peter Rabbit also joined in the fun of this tea cup tablescape 🙂

I continued the color scheme by using my favorite pink and green goblets.

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 🙂

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
