Rustic Blue & Gray Tablescape

This time of year has me still enjoying winter but also thinking ahead to spring. For sure, in these parts, we still have a lot of the current season left and it's too early to go full-tilt into the next. So with that in mind, I designed a tablescape using the cooler colours of winter but with a rustic early spring look.

I used three of these wooden lanterns as the basis for the table centerpiece.

Faux greenery was placed around the lanterns as well as inside.

Two of these glass candleholders were placed in between the lanterns.

Various birch items such as the cut branches (above pic) and these log tealight holders provided the rustic touch I was looking for.

So as not to go too rustic though, I added these silver wire orbs and acrylic table scatter. A string of battery-operated white lights created a warm glow.

All of these elements were placed on a gray table runner...

...which was placed on a dark blue tablecloth.

Below, you will notice I layered my table linens as my blue tablecloth was a little too short.

The place settings were done in white, blue and gray.

Gray placemat and charger with white dishes and a striped blue & white napkin.

A decorative burlap bag (Dollar Store) adds to the rustic look.

I added some sprigs of greenery but these could also be used to hold a favour for your guests or to hold the cutlery.

The butterflies on the stemware give a nod to the promise of spring.

Silver votive holders add some sparkle to the gray and blue background.

I used gray table runners to act as chair covers.

I pinned some faux greenery to the tops and added a twine bow.

Do you still have a LOT of winter left where you live? Or are you able to realistically start thinking about spring?

Either way, I hope I've provided some inspiration for any upcoming winter-turning-to-spring dinner parties you might be having.

Thanks for visiting!
