A few months ago I was blessed enough to receive a package from a dear friend. It was filled to the brim with tea cups, saucers, vintage doilies, etc… She knows me well. I KNEW exactly what I wanted to do- Design Spring Tea Tablescape Ideas.
While holding on to these new “treasures”, I was asked to join the “Celebrate Spring Blog Hop”. I couldn’t say yes fast enough.
For those of you coming over from Aratari at Home-Welcome! I am so glad to have you here. After you finish reading my blog post, take the time to visit The Roots of Home, as well.
This week has been filled with Spring mantel decor, porch decorating, handmade crafts, tablescapes and centerpieces. I will leave all of the links below for you to enjoy.
Have you always been intrigued with having a Spring tea party, like me?
In my minds eye, I picture everything from a beautiful tea pot, tea cups, saucers, delicate treats, various types of tea, pretty hats and lacy gloves.
In today’s time, setting a tablescape for a Spring tea can be formal or as in-formal as you want.
From gorgeous china, fresh flowers, vintage flatware, rustic tablecloths and cloth napkins, let YOUR imagination go free.
Creating a soft ambiance by lighting candles. These are sitting in handmade moss candle holders.
Beforehand, you might want to purchase enough flowers, ribbon and floral tape for each of your guests. Everyone can have the opportunity to make their own take-away floral arrangement-like I did here.
Using cohesive colors is pleasing and eye catching.
While layering your plates, and/or cups, they don’t have to be the same patterns. There are no rules for YOUR own tea party table.
If you have time, baking a homemade rustic, naked cake from scratch will delight your guests. Adding (non-poisonous) flowers to any treat makes every tea party that much more inviting and memorable.
Sipping on sparkling pink lemonade or your own drink selection is the best way to end any tea party, wouldn’t you say?
I hope you are inspired with these Spring Tea Tablescape Ideas. Each one could be used for a baby or bridal shower, wedding reception, or even “just because”.
It’s all about using what you have, getting your creative juices flowing and having a wonderful time in the process, isn’t it?
As I promised earlier, I am linking the Celebrate Spring Blog Hop below. Grab your favorite drink, relax and browse through all of the amazing Spring ideas you could ever imagine.
Make it a wonderful day.

Meegan, your spring table is so gorgeous and intimate. I adore the violet teacups and dishes. That was my mother’s favorite flower so they are near and dear to my heart. Happy Spring!
Thanks so much Patti. I am glad you enjoyed this. What a sweet memory about your mom. I appreciate you sharing that with me.
OMG Meegan – we don’t even know where to begin! Your tea party tablescape is swoon-worthy! We love every single element that you used – and we wish we could actually attend this party. What a wonderful friend to gift you with such pretty things. Happy Spring!
Thank you for all of your compliments. Wouldn’t it be fun to all meet together and visit over a cup of tea? Maybe someday soon. I appreciate your kind comments.
Your table looks gorgeous, Meegan! Your friend was so kind to send vintage goodies for you to use to create this tablescape. I also love the centerpiece you made using the vintage trophy. Or is it an ice bucket?
Thanks so much, my friend. It is always nice to have you visit my blog.
It is actually a champagne bucket. I spotted it thrifting and knew it had to be mine :)
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Happy Spring.

Tea tastes so much better in fancy cups, doesn’t it? Love your ideas Meegan!
I can’t even begin to explain how much I love this whole look, Meegan. Gosh, the daffodils look like they were made for that silver ice bucket, and then there’s the candlelight bouncing off the tarnished silver that looks like you captured mini sunsets to complete the picture. So lovely.
Meegan, it is beautiful; the dishes, the flowers, the glasses, candles, tablecloth. All of it. I would love to come and have tea with you.
Your tablescape is very pretty and tastefully done. That pink lemonade looks so delicious. You have great style and taste.
