A Spring Tablescape!!

How I love to decorate a table!  This past week I had such a fun time planning and decorating a table for some sweet mommies in my MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group!  Each table leader was able to pick their own theme and have fun getting creative.  I knew right away that I wanted a bright and springy theme with a "garden" touch!  So, the table was filled with flowers and more flowers!! 


One of my favorite items was the centerpiece.  I created this centerpiece like I do every centerpiece I create...with a basic idea in my head and then some browsing at the store!  I walked through the dollar aisles at Target and came across two pink metal buckets.  One was shorter and wider, the other was taller and thinner.  I loved the idea of doing a "tiered" centerpiece with one bucket inside the other.  I took them home and got to work.  I filled the wider bucket with potting soil and added some spring plants.  In the taller bucket, I added a couple of spring bouquets of flowers.  I love how it turned out!


The rest of the table was very easy...lots of floral papergoods with plates and napkins and cups.  I used some of the extra napkins to place under the plates, like a placemat!  It added just a touch more color!  And a few more flowers on the table couldn't hurt...with cute flowerpot favors for the girls to take home.  I will share that idea in my next post!!


Hope you enjoy this spring tablescape.  It's very easy and not very expensive and can add the perfect touch to a barbecue or brunch this spring.  Even Easter could do a "garden" theme!!  Please share any spring tablescape ideas you have too!
