Aerin Lauder has the most beautiful collaboration with Williams Sonoma. Much of the collection is tabletop and perfect for setting the spring and Easter table. Here are some favorites -

Pagodas for Spring

Dillard's Southern Living Collection Pagoda Lanterns

I have posted before on Dillard's wonderful pagoda lanterns. Their new collection for this spring and summer has the prettiest colors. These are perfect for setting a beautiful Easter table. Use them as centerpieces, a pair on a sideboard, or on an entryway table. And they are very well priced too.

Setting the Spring Table

For all of us who collect lettuce ware and cabbage ware, I have found some darling radicchio pieces in pink and in white, perfect for setting the Spring and Easter table.

Setting the Blue and White Table

The wonderful thing about blue and white is that it is timeless, classic, and beautiful in all seasons. This Delft Bloom tablecloth is such an elegant choice.

Thinking of Spring

Casa Branca

 

I love beautiful linen cocktail napkins and have quite a collection, both vintage and new. I use them for serving cocktails and wine as well as beverages like iced tea and sparkling water. I also love using them for setting the table for a pop of color. Here is another great idea - on a serving tray. The tray looks a lot like Amanda Lindroth's wicker Island Trays. I really miss her old website. Luckily I have half a dozen of her trays and use them all over CCC.

Setting the Spring Chinoiserie Table

Chefanie Blue Linen Fan Placemats

Spring will be here before we know it. What would be prettier for Spring for setting the chinoiserie table than these blue linen fan placemats with your bamboo flatware and your blue and white patterned china?

Hydrangeas

CCC

 

I love hydrangeas in the garden, but they are unfortunately not fans of the heat of South Florida. Happily, beautiful cut hydrangeas are always available at my Publix.

Setting the Spring/Summer Table

Tuckernuck

 

This is such pretty inspiration for setting the spring and summer table. A color palette of blue and white sets the scene with blue and white linens, blue and white hydrangeas, a blue and white ginger jar, and a blue and white Chinese porcelain beverage chiller.

Ultra Chic Cocktail Napkins

Pink Pickleball Cocktail Napkins

 

Pickleball is very popular and these cocktail napkins are the pefect choice for the pickeball player. Serve up your after court cocktails with these pink pickleball paddle linen cocktail napkins. Win or lose, these napkins will always be an ace with your guests.

Cabbage Ware for Spring

Southern Living Cabbage Ware Collection

 

Cabbage ware, also called lettuce ware, is highly collectible and has been for decades. Tory Burch has a wonderful collection she did in collaboration with Dodie Thayer's estate. Dodie was an American artisan and entrepreneur and her story is remarkable. Her ancestors helped settle Palm Beach where she taught herself how to mold pottery from lettuce and cabbage leaves.

Legendary hostesses from C.Z. Guest and the Duchess of Windsor to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis collected her signature lettuce/cabbage ware. Mario Buatta's collection sold at auction for $48,000.

Cabbage ware is very popular this season. It is the essence of Spring and is perfect for setting the Easter table.

Place card holders with place cards are so old school. I have a collection and love using them when I entertain. They add such an elegant touch and are so functional as well - everyone knows where to sit! Here are some lovely choices for setting the Easter or Spring table.
