Flamingos on a Spring Tablescape

I have been thinking about this tablescape for several weeks but it took some time to gather it all together. If you read my blog you know that my tablescapes are usually theme based and sometimes full of color. This tablescape is no exception, flamingos, an odd creature for sure, and very colorful. I found the tablecloth on Amazon a couple months ago and that started the design process. There are two large flamingos on the tablecloth but they are hidden by dishes so you can only see parts of them. The tablecloth set the color scheme of pinks and greens for this tablescape.

I looked at a few dozen salad plates online with flamingos on them and couldn’t find anything that I really liked until I saw these online at Poshmark but they only had four. I quickly checked Ebay and luckily found another four there so that I would have six for my tablescape. They are melamine and they were made by Cynthia Rowley. I love the mixtures of pinks, greens, and blues. (Dollar Tree online has a flamingo dinner plate right now, 4/15/21.)

This dinner plate was made by Fiesta and the color is Meadow. I have Fiesta plates in Shamrock and Lemongrass but I wanted a medium green color to add to my tablescaping collection. It has been the perfect addition.

Hubby went to the Dollar Store last year and bought silver chargers for me and then spray painted them this bright pink. I am going to have to do that more often. It is such an easy and inexpensive way to create chargers that are the right colors for your table setting. If you read my blog you saw these chargers last summer on my Beach tablescape.

I bought this stainless and plastic bamboo flatware set several years ago when I first started tablescaping. I can’t remember where I found the set, they are just marked Stainless, China but I see similar patterns are available online at several places.

I bought the tropical leaf napkins on Amazon last year. The flamingo napkin rings came from Wilford & Lee Home Accents online a couple months ago. I love those long legs!

These small plastic flamingos came from Oriental Trading online a couple months ago. They were in the Easter section and they can be opened.

I found the plastic goblet on the left at HomeGoods a few weeks ago. The green color and bamboo stem are a perfect match for this tablescape. These funny plastic pink flamingo goblets came from Oriental Trading online last month. I couldn’t resist them!

I found this ceramic flamingo figure at Bed, Bath & Beyond online a couple months ago. There is actually a battery operated LED light inside. The flamingo is sitting on a bright green drink dispenser stand from Pottery Barn that I bought several years ago.

I found both flamingo salt and pepper sets on Amazon a couple months ago.

I love all the pinks and greens together!

It’s a colorful tablescape, for sure!
