Thrifted green dishware paired with white placemats and spring florals. Get your table ready today with these inspiring table decorations.

Is a ‘good luck’ St Patrick’s Day table a good idea?

Do you enjoy celebrating the Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day?

It’s a favorite holiday of ours, as both my husband and I are of Irish descent.

Maybe it’s not my favorite holiday to decorate for, truthfully, but it always feels like the first hope of spring while enjoying a little luck of the Irish along the way.

Let’s Get Started…

I leisurely head over to our vintage cabinet in the kitchen and pull out these favorite mixed green flutes to kick off our Spring and St. Patrick’s Day table decorations. They always put me in the mood…

Blooms in Silver Bud Vases

I like to begin setting my table settings with florals first and foremost. They present and display the vibe of the season and give me an idea of the colors I want to use for the place settings from there.

Oh my goodness, you guys, our supermarket flowers have increased in price so much—more than doubled, actually! How much does a bouquet of supermarket flowers cost where you are? They used to be around $10 a bouquet, and now they are $22.95. Yikes! And we really don’t have any other options here in our small town of Vermont.

So I decided to use 4 small silver bud vases that I have collected over the years to design more petite flower arrangements for this year’s Spring and Saint Patrick’s Day table setting.

I think I like this idea too! It’s simple, and you can scatter the bud vases anywhere you like on the table. Maybe even put one with each place setting.

I was, however, able to find these planted blooming daffodils at the same supermarket for just $6.95, and I love the yellow they add to our table.

The yellow paper they came in was nice and all, but I think the daffodils exhibit much nicer planted in this vintage white soup tureen covered with moss on the top.

Don’t you?

Vintage Spring and Saint Patrick’s Day Place Settings

Next, it’s time to set the table with vintage-inspired table place settings. Displaying on our Saint Patrick’s Day and Spring table today will be:

• Vermont Mountain Weaver’s White Tablecloths and Napkins
• Wooden chargers
• Thrifted Large Turkish White Plates
• Kent by Josiah Wedgewood & Sons Ltd Green and White plates.
• Limoges Green and Gold Soup Bowls.

The florals set the color and seasonal inspiration for our spring table, and the place settings add all the ambiance to the overall tablescape. Does that make sense?

Each plate or bowl may be removed for a different course: soup, salad, or the main course.

The mixed green and white vintage plate patterns add a casual yet thoughtful touch to each place setting.

Green Glassware

I started off today’s post by mentioning that I first reached for my favorite green flutes as my go-to for Spring and Saint Patrick’s Day decorations. And yes, that is definitely the truth. They are my absolute favorite glasses, and they come out to embellish my tables often.

Paired with the green flutes is a wine decanter. And guess what? I made it!

There is a local glassblower, Manchester Hot Glass, here in town, and when I first moved to Vermont, I took his glassblowing class and chose the color green for the decanter, representing the Green Mountains of Vermont.

A Few More Important Table Accessories

Brass candlesticks are one of my all-time favorite home accents to decorate with, period!

Four candlesticks center on today’s Spring and Saint Patrick’s Day table with white candle tapers burning warmly. And I added a little green moss to each candle holder before adding the tapers. It gives them a nice outdoor Spring touch.

A couple of green glass paperweight eggs are scattered on the table, and I thought this egg looked so cute under a little glass candle cloche that I had on hand.

Along with my mother’s sterling silver flatware and her favorite vintage green gurgle fish jug.

And no table would be complete without including my friends over at Cutlery Couture! Their silverware pouches are the greatest finishing touch on any table.

I have a collection of these now, which includes lobsters, hydrangeas, white bows, and this cocktail set, perfect for a Saint Patrick’s Day table setting.

I’m also adding a buffet table and sideboard to this dining room space, made from the dining room table I grew up with in Maine. My father transformed it into a desk for me when I bought my first home in Connecticut and now I’m remodeling it back into a dining room furniture piece. Can’t wait to share it with you.

Is St. Patrick’s Day the perfect time for merrymaking?

Well, why not? We’re definitely going to enjoy setting the table and relishing in all this Irish holiday has to offer!

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, and I hope it feels like Spring where you are today while you read today’s blog post!
