Tablescape Season

Lauren is setting a dining room table with a woven chair in the foreground. The table is decorated with a vase of fresh flowers, along with green glassware and striped napkins on white plates with wicker chargers. An abstract painting hangs behind.

Welcome to Tablescape Season! I am all about gathering friends and family around a beautifully set table, but I always try to change for the seasons without having to purchase more plates or servingware. Inevitably though, I feel like every season change I always add or update juuuuust a few things to keep it fresh and fun. I thought it would be fun to share some of the inspiration I’ve been finding and some ways to add pieces to what you may already have to incorporate some of these aesthetics into your own home.


First up, these three images are from a bed and breakfast in Tuscany that absolutely takes my breath away.

A table setting featuring a wooden table with a white linen runner. The place setting includes vintage blue and white floral plates, linen napkins and silver cutlery. A wooden cutting board is used as a centerpeice with almonds and greenery.
A tablescape featuring a green tablecloth with a long rustic, italian floral centerpiece with roses, wheat and golden candle sticks. Antique silver plates with glass crystal cups add to the decor.
A cozy tablescape with a white linen runner overlayed with a garland of greenery including small gourds. Coffee pots and cups, jelly, sugar bowls and butter plates add to a cozy feel.

Here’s how you can get the look:

Rustic Cutting Boards

Antique Style Silverware

Italian Style Carafes

Linen Table Runner

Mix up Ceramic Plates and Glass Plates

Forage For:

Pine Cones

Interesting Shaped Greens from the Yard


Next up, from The Ruffled Blog is a tablescape which includes books so naturally I am obsessed with it. What a fun and clever way to add a little bit of vintage whimsy. That with the cut crystal, antique candlesticks and the leggy florals makes it perfection.

A close-up of a white taper candle in a golden candlestick next to a bud vase with greenery on top of a small stack of vintage looking books. Surrounding are walnuts, grapes, gooseberries and a plumb. Cut crystal wine glasses sit next to it.
A different view of the books and fruit, foregrounded by a place-setting of a white plate, white napkins and antique flatware. The backgound shows a wicker chair.

A fun fact about getting this type of look in your floral arrangements: Ikebana is the art of beautifully arranging cut stems, leaves, and flowers in vases and other containers that evolved in Japan over seven centuries. A dear friend of mine bought me a vase for my birthday that is specially meant for this type of arrangement and I’ve been in love ever since.



I hope you have fun reinventing your holiday table this year with pieces you already own, from pilfering the garden (or Trader Joes! They always have best fill in greenery), and with a few new pieces to mix in. This post is not sponsored, just some things I love and own or want to own, but I may make a small commission if you purchase what I’ve shared.
