English Garden Inspired Tablescape
Easter is this coming Sunday and while I am not hosting it I thought it would be nice to share a tablescape design that can be used as inspiration for Easter or any get together.
For my fake Easter celebration I will be hosting a brunch. I love brunch food and it’s easier to host because a lot of food prep can be done before hand and a good amount of it can be ready made. Hosting is hard enough so making the food a bit easier is great.
My inspiration point was this beautiful floral chintz I found during one of my fabric shopping trips.
Out came the blue ginger jars, blue and white ticking and kraft paper!
I kept the floral centerpiece simple and got big blue hydrangeas. They work perfectly with my garden theme and I only needed 6 stems to fill my ginger jar.
Instead of a tablecloth I used kraft wrapping paper to cover the table instead. Namecards? Not needed I just took a white paint pen and wrote the names right on the kraft paper.
I made carrot inspired napkins for the tablescape with solid orange napkins I picked up at TJ Maxx.*Did you know you can shop their site now? I had no idea! (DIY steps coming this week)
To help make things come together even more I also picked up a blue and white ticking table runner during my TJ MAXX outing. You could easily do the same thing with fabric if you couldn’t find a runner. Everything else I already had at home.
Breakfast treats got placed on white dishes.
I make some adorable flower pot cupcakes that were super easy to make. (DIY steps coming this week)
On the opposite side of the room I made a beverage station.
A section for iced tea complete with mason jars and paper straws.
Loved using my favorite DIY monogrammed cutting board to catch any spills from the tea.
The opposite side was a tea station which is a must for an English garden inspired tablescape.
So, are you coming over for brunch?

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Ooooh! That chintz! Oh, my, my, my. Girl this did it for me! What a satisfyingly beautiful way to start the morning!
Love the kraft paper idea for the table, so easy!
Wow!! You’ve outdone yourself. It looks absolutely amazing. I love the ticking with the craft paper and the “carrot” napkins are the cutest thing ever. Well done!!
I have the china and chairs but cant wait to get to TJMax and get all the accessories to do
an easter brunch without having to conjure up the whole assembly ….and have the best brunch ever!
