Dogwood tablescape

I love the dogwoods that bloom every spring.  The first Mother's Day after we moved into this house, my husband planted a dogwood tree and we've enjoyed it every spring since 1993. 
Won't you join me at this simple Easter setting?

I found this vintage tablecloth a couple of years ago at an antique store out of town.  Last year I waited too long to use it for a tablescape and the blooms were gone.

Last year I found these delicate goblets with cut flower designs.



My layers of dishes include a white dinner plate.


White chargers from Pier 1.


And small green depression glass plates.  


These sweet pink bud napkin rings were the perfect spring touch for the green napkins with a white organdy napkin layered on top.

A closer look at the dogwood patterned tablecloth


I added some pink azalea blooms to the dogwoods.  When you look closely you can see the holes caused by the inchworm infestation we've had this year.




Blooms gathered into a glass basket vase.


Baby bunnies hiding under the blooms.


I hope you've enjoyed this simply set Easter table.

I'll be sharing another Easter tablescape later this weekend.  We'll be having a brunch and egg hunt on Saturday with our daughters family.  That will be set with our grandtwins in mind.

See ya!

  15. Simple you say and lovely in every sense. Your dogwood theme is a delight. In Houston we don't see too many dogwood blooms, but when I return to Maine the ones in our yard will be beginning to bloom.
