I think as a child I came to loathe the phrase “set the table”. I just wanted to skip the formalities in the wake of feeling nothing-is-as-important-as-my-raging-hunger-right-now. And to be honest this might still be the case…but many years later, I am now the adult that oogles over table settings — curated picnics, themed dinners and coordinated brunches to name a few. Tablescapes have certainly blown up in the social media world and I like to think of it as a reclamation of space and creativity. These spring tablescape ideas are some of the ways you can also create with intention and make a festive spring entrance!

Paper plant centerpieces

The colors we used for our centerpieces are bright as ever and feel distinctly like spring, so you can mix and match and really bring your tablescape to life with the new season!
We hope that all your tablescape dreams come true this spring! We’d love to see what you make at #LarsMakes or #LarsLovesSpring!
