Succulents on a Spring Tablescape
This Succulent Spring tablescape has been a year in the making. It took me that long to gather it all with several false starts, buying things that weren’t right, returning them, and trying something else, etc.. I found the tablecloth on Amazon a few months ago after buying another one that ended up having permanent creases in it that I just couldn’t iron out.
These succulent shaped melamine salad plates were made by Nicole Miller Home. I bought them one or two at a time on the secondary market online wherever I could find them after a Google search and it took a year to gather them all. I should have bought them the first time I saw them at HomeGoods several years ago!
I love the combination of blues and greens on these plates.
This charger was made by Mikasa and it was called Color Spectrum, the color was called Sage. I have had these chargers for a long time and I think this is the first time that I have used them on a tablescape.
I decided to add placemats to this table setting so that they would break up the busy tablecloth a bit.
I am using my Madeline Green flatware on this table setting. I bought it at World Market several years ago. I really like the frosted design on the handles. If you google frosted flatware and add the color you are looking for you will find similar sets. After red, I think green flatware is the most used flatware color on my tablescapes because it can be used during both the Spring and Fall seasons. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
I bought these Oli Succulent napkin rings at Crate and Barrel online two years ago. I didn’t have any baby blue napkins so I bought these on Amazon last week.
Hubby found these faux small succulents at Michael’s a couple of weeks ago. The blue and green colors are a perfect match for the plates. I really love these small white vase place card holders. They often appear on my Spring tablescapes. I bought them on Amazon a couple of years ago.
Hubby found the green glass goblet on the left at an estate sale last year. I joined estatesales.net and estatesales.org and I get emails every week that tell me what estate sales are going on in my area and it includes photos of everything that is for sale. I saw these green goblets for sale and he got them for me, he likes going to estate sales. The green acrylic goblets on the right came from our Pier 1 store before it closed a few years ago. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection here.
I knew that I wanted a container of real succulents for a centerpiece for this tablescape and we found this one at our local garden center. I will be planting them in my succulent garden. I like the rustic metal container and you will probably see it on future tablescapes.
I planted about a third of our front garden with succulents as my contribution to the California drought a few years ago and I have really enjoyed it.
