Styled in classic green and white, this tablescape blends timeless patterns, soft florals, and collected details for a look that feels both nostalgic and effortless. It’s the kind of table that works beautifully for Easter, yet feels just as at home for spring brunches, garden gatherings, or everyday meals where you want the table to feel a little more special.


Vintage-Inspired Table Settings for Every Season You’ll Love
From porch breakfasts to holiday gatherings, this vintage tablescape guide includes styling inspiration for every season—indoor and outdoor—using thrifted and antique finds.
Cozy Cottage by Liz Marie, Spring Tablescape Ideas and Inspiration
This spring tablescape was inspired by the Cozy Cottage by Liz Marie New Spring Collection, a favorite for its heirloom-style details and classic cottage charm. Known for bringing nostalgic elements into everyday spaces, Liz Marie’s spring and Easter collections often feature soft greens, timeless patterns, and her signature bunny motifs that feel both playful and traditional.
The return of the bunny details adds a lighthearted Easter touch without overwhelming the table, making them easy to mix with vintage-inspired dishware, simple linens, and collected accents. Even as collections change season to season, the overall look remains approachable and easy to recreate by layering pieces you may already own or by mixing in similar spring finds.

Vintage Tablescape Ideas with Green and White Spring Layers
These vintage tablescape ideas are rooted in creating a table that feels collected, familiar, and easy to live with throughout the year. Rather than styling for one moment or one holiday, this table is built around timeless pieces, soft patterns, and gentle motifs that can shift effortlessly from season to season. A green and white palette keeps everything feeling fresh and classic, while layered textures and heirloom-inspired details add warmth and character.

What I love most about this style of table setting is its versatility. Elements like bunny motifs can feel just as at home in spring as they do in a woodland-inspired winter table, and simple linens and natural accents transition easily from Easter brunch to everyday meals or casual gatherings. It’s less about decorating for a date on the calendar and more about building a table you enjoy returning to again and again.

Vintage Tablescape Place Cards for a Collected Look
Place cards don’t have to be reserved for formal dinners or special occasions. In a vintage tablescape, they’re an easy way to add a personal, thoughtful layer that instantly makes the table feel intentional and welcoming. Even for a casual brunch or everyday gathering, a simple place card adds charm without feeling formal.

For this table, I created my own place cards using Canva, keeping the design soft and timeless rather than overly themed. Printed and folded into simple tent-style cards, they blend seamlessly with the rest of the table and feel right at home alongside vintage-inspired dishes and layered linens. This is one of those small details that makes guests feel considered, even when the overall table is relaxed.


What I love most about using place cards in a vintage tablescape is their flexibility. They can lean seasonal for spring and Easter, feel cozy and woodland-inspired later in the year, or stay completely neutral for everyday meals. It’s a small styling detail, but one that adds warmth, personality, and a collected feel to the table.

Vintage Tablescape Centerpiece Ideas for Spring and Beyond
When it comes to vintage tablescape ideas, the centerpiece is often where personality and creativity really come into play. Rather than relying on one statement arrangement, I like to think of centerpieces as flexible layers that can shift with the season while still working with the same core table setting. Baskets, florals, and well-loved containers make it easy to create centerpieces that feel natural, collected, and reusable throughout the year.
From soft spring blooms to textured greenery and warm terracotta, these centerpiece ideas are simple to recreate and designed to work well beyond a single holiday.

Paperwhite Centerpiece in a Handled Basket
One of my favorite centerpiece ideas for a vintage tablescape is a large basket with a handle filled with paperwhites. Paperwhites have a fresh, elegant look that works beautifully for spring, but they’re not limited to one holiday or moment. I love growing them for both St. Patrick’s Day and Easter, and they transition easily into everyday spring decor.
Using a basket instead of a traditional vase adds warmth and texture to the table, keeping the centerpiece relaxed and approachable. It’s an easy way to bring height and interest to the center of the table without blocking conversation. Learn more in my Paperwhite Arrangements, How Long They Last And How To Style Them Beyond Christmas post.

Daffodil Tablescape Centerpiece with Soft Spring Layers
Daffodils are a classic spring flower, and they fit naturally into vintage tablescape ideas that lean light, cheerful, and timeless. For this centerpiece, I took inspiration from Liz Marie’s spring styling and filled a simple container with bright daffodils, tucking in pussy willows for added texture and softness.
The combination of structured blooms and delicate branches keeps the arrangement from feeling too polished. It’s a fresh, easy centerpiece that instantly signals spring while still blending seamlessly with collected table elements.

Terracotta Pot Tablescape Centerpiece with Pink Hydrangeas
This terracotta decor centerpiece quickly became my favorite. A chippy, uniquely sized terracotta pot filled with pink hydrangeas adds just the right amount of contrast to a green and white tablescape. The warm orange tones of the terracotta ground the table, while the soft pink blooms bring out both the greens and whites layered throughout the setting.
Terracotta is one of those materials that works across seasons, making this centerpiece a great option to reuse long after spring. It adds character, age, and a collected feel that pairs beautifully with vintage-inspired table settings. Discover more terracotta styling ideas in my Terracotta Decor: How to Use Pots in Every Room post.

Which is your favorite, the paperwhites, the daffodils, or the pink hydrangeas in the terracotta pot? Let me know in the comments below!
Natural Elements with Pussy Willows
To add a softer, more natural touch to these vintage tablescape centerpieces, I tucked in pussy willows alongside the florals. I recently ordered a box of pussy willows, and their shorter length makes them especially easy to work into arrangements without overwhelming the table.

Their fuzzy texture adds subtle visual interest and pairs beautifully with spring flowers. I also love how they quietly echo the bunny motifs used throughout the table, tying everything together in a way that feels natural rather than themed.

Vintage Tablescape Place Settings with Heirloom Details
Place settings are where a vintage tablescape really comes to life. This one is built around layering pieces that feel collected rather than coordinated, mixing old and new elements that can shift easily from season to season. The result is a table setting that feels thoughtful and personal, without being tied to one specific holiday.

Heirloom Bunny Plates and Pitcher
The heirloom-style bunny plates and matching pitcher from the Cozy Cottage collection by Liz Marie bring a soft, nostalgic feel to the table. With delicate illustrations and scalloped edges, they feel timeless rather than themed, which makes them easy to style well beyond spring.
Available in both green and blue, these pieces work beautifully for everything from brunches and porch dining to woodland-inspired winter tables. They’re the kind of dishes that feel special without needing an occasion.

White Plates as a Classic Foundation
Layered beneath the bunny plates are oversized thrifted white plates from Germany, one of my favorite secondhand finds. Used like a charger, they add structure and brightness to the table while keeping the overall look clean and classic.
This kind of simple white layering is a go-to move in vintage tablescape ideas because it allows decorative plates to stand out while keeping the setting grounded and timeless.


Pro Tip: Elevate Your Easter Tablescape with Bows & Ribbons
Add bows and ribbons to your table setting, favors, candlestick holders, centerpieces, or even glassware for a pretty table with effortless charm. A simple ribbon can also tie your silverware together, creating a polished and cohesive look. These little details are an easy DIY project that brings pops of color and elegance to your Easter brunch. Whether soft pastels or classic gingham, ribbons are an excellent idea for adding warmth and personality to your Easter tablescape!
Table Setting Favors with Natural Texture
Instead of traditional favors, I added a simple natural detail to each place setting by tying together two pussy willow branches with a soft green ribbon. Rested across the plates, they add texture, movement, and a quiet sense of whimsy that feels charming rather than overly decorative.
The fuzzy branches subtly echo the bunny motifs without leaning into a literal theme, making them a detail you could easily reuse throughout the year.


Irish Linen Cloth Napkins
Vintage Irish linen napkins are one of my favorite thrifted table finds. Crisp, soft, and endlessly versatile, they work just as well for casual meals as they do for more dressed-up tables.
Here, they’re styled with simple ironstone napkin rings found at a summer yard sale, though silver or brass rings would add an equally beautiful finishing touch. Vintage linens are easy to source secondhand and hold up beautifully with proper care. Learn more in my How to Remove Yellow Stains from Vintage Linens and Thrifted Textiles post.

Warm Wood Tones for Balance
To balance the green and white palette, I added warmth through vintage Bakelite-handled flatware. The wood tones bring contrast and depth to the table and pair naturally with baskets, linens, and terracotta accents used throughout the tablescape. Discover more cutlery ideas in my What to Do with Old Silverware: 45 Creative Vintage Flatware Ideas post.



Pro Tip
Knife rests are a beautiful way to help keep your Easter tablescapes clean. I found the crystal ones presented on today’s table when I was antiquing in Paris, which was where I learned of them. Learn more in this Knife Rest French Table Silver and Crystal Ideas post.
Vintage Tablescape Ideas Finished with Collected Details
Once the foundation of a table is set, it’s the smaller, personal details that bring vintage tablescape ideas to life. This is where pieces collected over time, favorite thrifted finds, and sentimental objects step in to give the table character. Rather than matching everything perfectly, I like to layer elements that feel familiar and lived-in, allowing the table to tell a story that feels both relaxed and intentional.
From ceramic accents to antique brass and vintage glassware, these finishing touches are what transform a pretty table into one that feels truly your own.


Sunday Home Style
Inspired by homes that feel like Sunday—quiet, layered, and filled with familiar finds. These styling tips share the vintage touches, everyday rituals, and warm moments that make a home feel like you.
Green and White Gingham Tablecloth for a Vintage Tablescape
A green and white gingham tablecloth sets the tone for this entire vintage tablescape. Gingham is one of those patterns that feels instantly familiar and timeless, yet fresh each time it’s styled in a new color or season. This year, I’ve been especially drawn to gingham tablecloths, using red and white versions in the warmer months and transitioning to green and white indoors for spring.

The tablecloth is styled on a round table, which adds softness to the overall look and pairs beautifully with layered place settings and centerpieces. If you’re ordering a tablecloth for a round table, be sure to measure your tabletop carefully, as sizing makes all the difference in how the table feels once it’s dressed. Oh, and see why I love round tables in my Round vs. Rectangular Dining Table: How We Created a Vintage-Inspired Gathering Space post.

One of my favorite details is the ruffled edge, which adds a playful, relaxed finish without feeling fussy. It’s the kind of base layer that works hard quietly, grounding the table and allowing vintage dishes, florals, and collected accents to shine.

Ceramic Bunnies as Collected Accents
Alongside the table settings, I added ceramic bunnies from my own collection, mixing in both white and gold finishes. Used sparingly, they add a soft, playful note without overpowering the table. I love treating pieces like this as accents rather than decorations, letting them blend naturally with everyday dishware and linens.


Bunny motifs work beautifully beyond spring and can easily transition into woodland-inspired tables later in the year, making them a versatile addition to a vintage tablescape.


Vintage Brass Candlesticks with White Tapers
Vintage brass candlesticks are one of my favorite ways to add warmth and height to a table. Paired with simple white tapers, they bring a subtle glow and a sense of history without feeling formal. The aged patina of brass works especially well with green and white palettes, adding contrast and depth to the overall setting.

This is a layering piece I reach for again and again, regardless of season.

Vintage Plates and Platters for a Collected Look
Stacking vintage plates and platters is an easy way to create a collected, abundant feel on a table or nearby surface. Here, I layered green and white platters I’ve found over time, mixing patterns and sizes for visual interest. A small bowl filled with black and white decorative eggs adds a quiet graphic element that plays nicely with the softer florals and linens.

This kind of layering doesn’t need to be perfect. In fact, the charm comes from the mix.

Vintage Glassware for Soft Contrast
For glassware, I kept things simple with clear vintage champagne flutes used for water, juice, or a celebratory toast. Delicate glass pieces like these add lightness to the table and allow the other elements to shine.
Over the years, I’ve collected glassware in different hues, and pieces like soft pink would be especially lovely here, echoing the hydrangeas and adding another subtle layer of color.

An Inspiration Piece That Ties It All Together
Every tablescape benefits from one inspiration piece that anchors the entire look. For this table, it’s a thrifted white soup tureen paired with a vintage Irish ironstone linen bowl featuring a delicate green stripe. Together, they nod to spring, St. Patrick’s Day, and the layered nature of the table itself.
Choosing one meaningful piece helps guide the rest of the styling and keeps the table from feeling overdone.

Blending collected vintage pieces with fresh florals and familiar patterns creates a table that feels welcoming, layered, and easy to return to throughout the year. And of course, no table setting is complete without Ella stopping by to say hello, dressed for the season and ready to steal the show.
