A Petal Power Tablescape for Spring

I have had this cotton tablecloth for many years and I have wanted to use it on a tablescape for a long long time. I finally decided that it was now or never. Many years ago I collected vintage tablecloths and I found most of them on Ebay. This one probably came from there. I don’t think that it is vintage. It has a label that indicates that it may have been made in Brazil.

The colors on the tablecloth dictated what colors I used on the tablescape.

I knew that I wanted to use three different colors of plate stacks on this tablescape to match the tablecloth but I wanted the top plate on the plate stack to be the same plate on each setting and I wanted it to be a plate that was full of flowers. Luckily I had this plate already with the right colors on it. I used it two years ago on another Spring tablescape. I like to check the Sur La Table website online from time to time, I have bought salad plates and napkin sets from there on sale in the past. Sometimes they have really cute plate designs. I found these small Jardin Floral porcelain appetizer plates there two years ago and they looked just like Spring to me. I like all the different flower colors and designs.

Two of the table settings on this tablescape have yellow items. The dinner plates on this tablescape are all Fiesta plates in different colors. This color is called Sunflower. I have this plate in several different colors now and I use them often.

How I love the bright yellow on this charger. If you read my blog you have seen many chargers in this pattern in different colors over the years. This is a Color Spectrum charger by Mikasa, the color is Sun Yellow. I bought these chargers on Ebay a few at a time several years ago because I loved the quality and the colors. I have this pattern in several different colors.

I really like this flatware set, it is well made and a strong bright yellow color. The knife is marked MEPRA INOX. I found the set at Pottery Barn a few years ago. Pottery Barn calls it Fantasia Italian. The set is made in Italy and is 18/10 stainless. Pottery Barn has this set in fourteen other colors and I have my eye on a few of the other colors if they go on sale for a good price. It is difficult to find flatware that is good quality in different colors. The five piece place setting also include a much smaller spoon. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

To make things easier I decided to use colored flowers on the napkin rings and place card holders. I found all the faux flowers at Michaels. The clear acrylic vase napkin rings came from Amazon last year. They were made by Deco-Mate. I love being able to add small flower arrangements to these napkin rings depending on what is on the tablescape. The red plaid napkin is marked DII (Design Imports) for the Home. I think I bought them at HomeGoods a few years ago.

I picked these white vase place card holders for this tablescape so that I could put faux flowers in them as you can see here. I really love these small vase place card holders. They often appear on my Spring tablescapes. I bought them on Amazon four years ago.

It can be difficult to find yellow glass goblets that don’t have a gold tint to them so when I saw these yellow goblets on Etsy two years ago I immediately bought them. I love the color and the size of them. I suspect that they are vintage but I am not sure of the maker or the pattern. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection here.

Two of the table settings on this tablescape have red items. This Fiesta Scarlet dinner plate is one of our every day dinner plates. We bought them when we remodeled our kitchen a few years ago.

This is a charger that Hubby bought at the Dollar Store for me last December and I had him spray-paint it a bright Christmas red to use on a Christmas tablescape. To read about what you should be considering when you are buying chargers, please click here.

This red flatware set is Ginkgo LePrix in Milano Red. It was one of the first flatware sets that I bought when I started tablescaping several years ago. I can’t remember where I bought the set. I use it often when I need a more informal red flatware set for a tablescape. I have this set in other colors now as well.

These red glass goblets match the yellow goblets on this tablescape except for a slight difference in the shape of the stem and the color. These goblets might be made by Artland and called Iris Ruby Red. I think Hubby found them at an estate sale.

Two of the table settings on this tablescape have blue items. I wanted to add Cobalt Blue Fiesta dinner plates to my tablescaping collection for a while and I finally bought some online at Everything Kitchens LLC four years ago. This pattern was our everyday dishes pattern before we remodeled our kitchen a few years ago. They were really worn so we replaced them with red ones after we finished the kitchen because the kitchen design is white with red accents. I knew that they would be a good match for this tablescape.

This charger was made by Mikasa and the pattern was called Color Spectrum. They came in several different colors and this color was Royal Blue, I love this shade of blue. I bought them on Ebay several years ago, a few at a time as I saw them until I had the number that I wanted.

This flatware is labeled SR Made in Italy, Inox. It was made by Zaffiro and I think I bought it on sale online at Horchow several years ago. I have the set in a few other colors as well. I love the intense deep cobalt blue color. Over the years I bought six different colors because I love the way it looks.

In this photo you can see the hole in the napkin ring where flowers can be placed.

These acrylic cobalt blue goblets came from Pier 1 several years ago. I have this goblet in several different colors made in both glass and acrylic and it is one of my favorite goblet shapes and size.

I went to Michael’s recently and found red, blue, and yellow faux flowers for the centerpiece on this tablescape. The large white pottery vase is one of a pair that I inherited from my mother. She received them as a wedding present in 1938. I have used this vase several times on my tablescapes.

I added a Fiesta salt and pepper set in the color Scarlet to the tablescape.

I also added a Fiesta butter dish to the table in the color Cobalt Blue.

Can you tell that I love bright colors?
