In this post – I’m sharing how to create a beautiful springtime tablescape inspired by a mossy woodland theme.

Welcome to the first Four Seasons Interior Design Blog Hop!

I’m Susan, the writer and creative behind From the Bay to the Beach, where I share all things modern California coastal living — from décor and DIY to style and seasonal inspiration.

Four times a year, MaryJo of Master”pieces” of my Life and I will be hosting this blog hop featuring seasonal decor – spring, summer, fall and winter. We are thrilled to partner with more than a dozen other talented bloggers who are sharing their amazing ideas with us as well!

Spring Inspiration

Before we jump in, let’s take a second to see what some of these other awesome bloggers have been up to! I’m really looking forward to seeing what Laura from Everyday Edits has to share today. How pretty is this simple spring display? And look at this gorgeous sneak peek from Missy at Sonata Design. Those little lambs with colorful flowers are darling!

More Inspiration

Spring will soon be upon us. Flowers and trees are just beginning to blossom, birds are chirping and the days are finally getting longer. It’s time for a fresh take on everything, including table settings.

For this tablescape, I wanted to create a spring woodland scene. I was inspired to use natural elements like moss, flowers and little potted mushrooms. I found plenty of other beautiful tablescapes to inspire me on Pinterest as well. Aren’t they all gorgeous?

Supplies Used

As with all of my creative projects, I like to gather a pile of things together that I think I might use and then go from there. For this project, I purchased some pretty spring floral arrangements, a moss table runner, a bag of moss, faux eggs, velvet mushrooms, pink taper candles, and some cute little terracotta pots. I also included some things I already own, including candlesticks, placemats, dishes, flatware, napkin rings and my Fitz and Floyd Classics Easter pieces that I have collected over the years.

Assemble the Mini Mushroom Pots

I knew my search was over when I spotted these adorable blue velvet mushrooms at Michaels. They are the perfect touch for a mossy woodland vibe.

I also found these adorable mini terracotta pots to “plant” them in.

To start, I trimmed the wire on each one to about 4 inches. This was just long enough to reach the bottom of the pot. Next, I poked the wire through one of the faux eggs and placed it in the pot. (If you have any modeling clay, you could also use it to stabilize the mushroom. I didn’t have any so I improvised.) Lastly, I tucked some moss around the egg to fill in the pot and keep the mushroom upright.

I made six pots, one for each table setting. I love how they turned out! Since I didn’t use any glue, I’ll be able to reuse this idea for other holidays as well.

Start with a Runner

I began the tablescape with the moss runner. I left the table bare because I like the contrast of the moss against the black table.

Next, I added some woven hyacinth placemats to add more texture and a natural look. I have two sets of these placemats and they are super versatile.

Set the Table

I used our everyday dishes for this table because they have a casual feel. They are the Cambria Collection from Pottery Barn.

Build the Tablescape

For the centerpiece, I started by draping the tulip and egg garland diagonally across the table. I then added the two tulip and egg floral arrangements on either end of the table.

I placed one of the mushroom pots at each place setting. These would make cute place card holders!

To create the centerpiece focal point of the tablescape, I filled my Fitz and Floyd basket serving plate with faux eggs and placed it in a marble footed bowl for added height. I scattered the remaining eggs along the length of the moss runner.

To finish the tablescape, I added pink taper candles in mismatched silver and crystal candlesticks.

Add the Flatware, Napkins and Glassware

Finally, I added the flatware to each table setting. I used silver to coordinate with the silver candlesticks. I used some natural linen napkins in ceramic bunny napkin rings and stemware as the final touch.
