Create a White Spring Tablescape

Easter and springtime are filled with symbolism of growth and life and celebration...

and there are so many ways to express the beauty of the season in a tablescape.

this simple farmhouse-style table decor focuses on white - 
in the linens, the dishware, the flowers, and the surrounding details
in a garden greenhouse setting.

continue reading for my one-step trick for making those mini glass domes!

set on a vintage white enamel tabletop, simple white dinnerware and linens soothe the eye

in this monochromatic early spring tablescape.

clear glass plates, glassware, and domes add sparkle and make the light dance.

i didn't add candles to my table design, but i should have!
it would be easy to gather clear glass votive cups, bar glasses, and jelly jars
and sprinkle them around the tabletop accessories.


the centerpiece is made up of a few elements:
* a glass dome on a pedestal, with tiny clay pots filled with moss. 

(a beautiful dessert could be placed there, too... a white cake or cupcakes, perhaps?!)

* white tulips (faux or real) in clay pots bring life to the composition.
* a little white ceramic dish in the shape of an egg crate holds several wood eggs.

 more of those eggs serve as gifts for guests presented on each plate in a fun way:

the eggs sit inside vintage cut glass salt cellars, covered by miniature domes - 

created using stemless wine glasses!

it's an easy way to make the eggs stand out on the table, 

and the glass can be used during the meal.

i'm sure you've noticed that everything about this tablescape is simple.

it's not been created to impress, or get applause, or to rack up likes and stats.

it's not going to take you a week to put together. more like 15 minutes. 

it's all about creating a warm, welcoming, useful setting to be enjoyed by people you love. 

real people living real lives in a real world... which is ALL of us.

a real world where sometimes we decorate the table at the last minute ,

yet we want our guests to know we care enough about them to make the effort.

our families, too, every day - and while every day doesn't look like this, 

maybe just creating a simple centerpiece for your spring table is enough.
(or maybe you go all out and move the whole table to a different room!)

 whatever you do, a little or a lot, you should do it with your own personal style...

use my ideas here as a place to start. rework them, tweak them, make them yours.

make your home YOURS. not some company's idea of home.
