The warm weather is almost here and it's time to come out of hibernation and start planning spring parties and al fresco dinners. And there's no better way to set the scene for spring than with a colorful and layered tablescape. You've sent out the invitations (let's be honest, it was probably a text message, that's what we would do), planned the menu, and bought several bottles of your favorite rosé and sparkling wine. Now it's time to set a stunning and welcoming table. With the pastel tablecloth laid, chargers in place, and the plates and flatware that have been collecting dust all winter long cleaned off, it's time to focus on the center of it all, the centerpiece and table decorations.
To that end, we have but together this list of stunning ideas for spring centerpieces and table decor that will help inspire you and be sure to surprise and delight your dinner guests all season long. Love flowers, try crafting papier-mâché vases to fill with your favorite spring blooms.
