Happy March! It's almost spring, and that's so exciting, isn't it? Today I'm joining my friends in sharing our Spring & Easter Inspiration! Rabbits and nests make for a cheerful spring table setting - this is my Delights of Spring & Easter Table.
WELCOME TO MONDAY MORNING BLOOMS!
Today Pam, Mary and I are thrilled to have our friend Sarah join us.
You can find Sarah at Hyacinths for the Soul - you will love her as much as we do.
Delights of Spring & Easter Table
Cheerful flowers are the calling cards of Spring. Arranged simply in antique ironstone, the blossom and bloom of each one says "Hello Spring!"
Easter is a big thing at FrenchGardenHouse. After church, we host an outdoor Easter lunch and egg hunt for family, friends and neighbors. Our Easter brunch 'table' is usually very relaxed and simple. To celebrate all the new life that is budding and blooming this time of year, it always includes spring flowers in mostly bright colors.
Spring flowers for Easter are just as pretty and festive {SPRING is a joyous occasion!} for any other Spring entertaining. These bunnies hopped onto the table to join in the spring fun!
I began styling this table inspired by these beautiful antique plates with purple blue flowers. I already had the green cabbage larger plates and they are the perfect under-plate for the top plates!
Our favorite blue ruffled round linen place mats set the stage for all our spring tables. Make a statement on your table with real napkins, it’s those little details that make your table feel special. These blue ivy linen napkins from Europe continue in the color palette. {They also are wonderful to mix with white napkins, or light blue ones, for a mix and match look.}
These herbes pewter napkin rings jumped in to join all the spring blooms and leaves to grace this setting.
Serving prosecco for spring celebrations, or mimosas, is my favorite light drink. I add pretty pitchers with two or three different kinds of juice, and offer a non-alcoholic version, too. Drinking celebratory drinks from a lovely antique crystal glasses such as these that have a hand etched floral pattern make it more festive and special.
Make sure a little spring or Easter treat is part of your table setting! I usually sprinkle some little chocolate eggs around the plates, or sometimes fill up everyone's glass with them.
For spring, there are so many beautiful table accessories you can add. I'm not a huge fan of too many small 'things' on the table, but I love these beautiful artisan made pewter gilded hummingbirds for salt and pepper. They come with their own little woven nest plate - adorable!
The centerpiece of any table here at FrenchGardenHouse is flowers. Spring has the most glorious flowers!
These spring flower arrangements are displayed in antique ironstone. Pink tulips, pink ranunculus, white hyacinths and blue grape hyacinths make my heart beat faster. Yours?
To give the table a little height, I place the two floral bouquets on an antique French carved foot stool from Normandy. Varying the height of table settings always adds interest!
I hope that spring is just around the corner for you! I know I can't wait...this season of renewal is glorious.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

Lidy, yes, arriving to March is almost as joyous an occasion and Spring itself. Your flower arrangement is the perfect ‘calling card’ to spring (I love that!). Your entertaining ideas are just as beautiful as the tables you set, and the offerings you sell. Happy March!
Thanks so much Debbie. I can’t wait for the garden to filled with these colors, too, you?
Lidy,
So very pretty!! The colors are beautiful!!!
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Hugs,
Deb
Thank you so much for your visit, Jenna! I can’t wait for Easter, just hoping the weather won’t be too chilly! We’ve had a pretty wet and wild winter here in Southern California this year. It’s always a joy to have you join our floral fun on our special Monday Morning Blooms!
Thank you Mary, I love all the bright happy colors of spring flowers as much as I know you do! I agree, hyacinths smell just like spring. I do wish the grape muscari would last a tiny bit longer, but happy to have had them in this floral arrangement for a few days. Always a joy to invite you at my table, friend!
Thank you so much Sarah! The flatware is French, in France, silver flatware sets were a traditional wedding gift in France but did not include knives. Giving knives was thought to ‘cut’ a relationship, so knives were sold seperately, and meant to be purchased by the bride and groom themselves. I fell in love with these, despite the fact that there are tarnish and/or corrosion spots on the blades- these knives were made with steel blades, not stainless steel, which wasn’t invented until 1913.
The placemats are one of our best sellers at FrenchGardenHouse, these are blue linen chambray, which is a delightful lighter touch for spring and summer! Thank you for joining us today, it is always a blessing to share our lovely blooms together with you! xo
Thank you so much, Pam. We are all so looking forward to spring, aren’t we? So fun to join together with all our friends to enjoy our monthly floral therapy! xo
Nancy, they are so lovely aren’t they? I haven’t been able to discover the pattern of these particular glasses, unfortunately. Glass, when it isn
t marked, is sometimes difficult to identify!
This is just delightful Lidy! I love the pink, and blue flowers and their bright green stems & leaves in the beautiful white pitchers, they really pop off the page! Your Easter tradition sounds wonderful, how fun to host a brunch and an egg hunt, I hope the weather is perfect! Your casual buffet looks beautiful and the little Easter touches, the nests with eggs, hummingbird S&P, and the bunny with flowers are so cute~have a wonderful time!

Good morning Lidy, Your pitcher of spring blooms is so happy and bright with mix of pinks, blues and whites, perfect to welcome spring or for Easter brunch! I adore ranunculus but rarely find them at my area grocery stores (oh to have a Trader Joe’s!) If spring had a smell, it would hyacinths. I always look forward to picking up a pot or a few stems if I’m lucky to find them. The muscari are so sweet and some of the first signs of spring. Love your beautiful blue plates, etched goblets and beribboned bunny. Yes a mimosa in your etched goblet would be that much more special. The sweet hummingbird salt and pepper set with nest plate is adorable. As always, it’s a treat to share some flower therapy with you, Happy March. 🌷🌺💗
