Silver and Gold Spring Tablescape

With Easter right around the corner and the weather teasing us with blue skies and sunshine, I figured now was the perfect time to lighten up the dining room table with a spring tablescape. A few weeks ago I found my inspiration at HomeGoods (my favorite place!) when I spotted this grey runner with silver and gold polka dots.

Text reads: "Silver and Gold Spring Tablescape.I’ll be honest, I am not big on buying a lot of “one season” or “one holiday” décor because it can get expensive and it has to be stored when not in use. So when I found this particular runner, I loved that it could be used for multiple seasons!Close-up of fabric featuring a pattern of gold and silver metallic polka dots scattered on a white background. The dots vary in size, creating a playful and textured visual effect.

Since the runner is a little on the glitzy side with the metallics, I broke out my straw like place mats I snagged at Bed Bath and Beyond some years ago. I normally use these for casual dining on the patio, but they seemed to fit the bill here too. And the best part is, I already had them and didn’t spend a dime! I decided to show off a little more of my new runner and omitted the placemats from the heads of the table.A neatly arranged place setting on a woven placemat features a square white plate on a dotted napkin, surrounded by silverware.

I know a lot of people have abandoned fine china in recent years, but I was lucky enough to inherit this beautiful, simple white set from my grandmother. My grandma and I were VERY close so her china is incredibly sentimental. I don’t use these dishes often because they can not go in the dishwasher, ugh!, but every now and then I put them to use and pair them with some of our normal dishes. And that is exactly what I did for this table setting. On the sides of the table I used our small square appetizer plates with the dinner plates from my grandma’s set. For the heads of the table I paired our square dinner plates with the salad plates from my grandma’s set.White dinner plates with a metallic gold polka dot napkin on a decorated table. The table features a light gray runner with large gold spots and is set with cutlery and glassware.

I also chose to mix up the wine glasses for this table setting. This might come as a shock, but I have MANY sets of wine glasses 🙂 Since this is a spring table setting, I liked these blue vintage glasses I have, but I only have four. These were handed down to my roommate and I from my step mom when we got our first apartment in college. I think at one point we had six….hummm. To compliment the vintage nature of these, I paired them with my crystal wine glasses I inherited from my grandma. Who says everything has to match?Close-up of a crystal wine glass stem on a reflective surface, with blurred pastel flowers in the background.

I snagged these at HomeGoods a few years back. Big surprise, I know.A neatly arranged table setting with a silver fork on a gray and gold polka-dot napkin beside an elegant white plate with a gold-rimmed edge.

When it comes to napkins, I really prefer disposable. I have a set of cloth napkins, but I am always afraid they will be ruined. Not to mention the expense of accumulating multiple sets to go with different settings. So I normally just head over to the party store and pick some up that compliment the current ensemble. For less than $3 a pack, these look pretty good 🙂 A dining table set with a woven placemat, square white plates, and a dotted napkin. Beside the plates are a glass and cutlery.

Finally, the centerpiece. I put this together with a few items I already had and some new artificial flowers from the craft store. You might recognize the wooden box and candle holder from my Chili Party post. I snagged both items from Target a while back and have used them so many times since! They are really quite versatile.A wooden box with gold polka dots holds vibrant artificial flowers, featuring large orange blooms and smaller pink and white flowers.

While I do love real flowers, I love that I can reuse these year after year. I picked them up on sale for 50% off. In total they were less than $20.Close-up of vibrant orange flowers with soft, ruffled petals, set against a blurred background of green and other floral hues.
