Vintage Tablescape with Irish Green and Daffodils

Spring is the perfect time to bring fresh color and vintage charm to your table, and what better way than with a vintage tablescape with Irish Green and a Daffodil centerpiece?

With thrifted green and white dishware, brass candlesticks, and a bright burst of daffodils in a classic white soup tureen, this setting is a beautiful blend of St. Patrick’s Day elegance and timeless spring style.

Is a ‘good luck’ St Patrick’s Day table a good idea?

Do you enjoy celebrating the Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day?

It’s a favorite holiday of ours, as both my husband and I are of Irish descent.

Maybe it’s not my favorite holiday to decorate for, but it always feels like the first hope of spring while enjoying a little luck of the Irish along the way.

Vintage Tablescape with Irish Green

I leisurely head over to our vintage cabinet in the kitchen and pull out these favorite mixed green flutes to kick off our Spring and St. Patrick’s Day table decorations.

They always put me in the mood…

Vintage Tablescape Blooms

I like to begin setting my vintage tablescapes with florals first and foremost. They present and display the vibe of the season and give me an idea of the colors I want to use for the place settings from there.

Oh my goodness, you guys, our supermarket flowers have increased in price so much—more than doubled, actually!

How much does a bouquet of supermarket flowers cost where you are? They used to be around $10 a bouquet, and now they are $22.95. Yikes!

And we really don’t have any other options here in our small town of Vermont.

So, I decided to use four small silver bud vases I have collected to design more petite flower arrangements for this year’s Spring and Saint Patrick’s Day vintage tablescape.

I think I like this idea too! It’s simple, and you can scatter the bud vases anywhere you want on the table. Maybe even put one with each place setting.

However, I found these planted blooming daffodils at the same supermarket for just $6.95, and I love the yellow they add to our vintage tablescape.

The yellow paper they came in was nice, but I think the daffodils exhibit much nicer when planted in this vintage white soup tureen covered with Irish green moss on the top.

Don’t you?

Irish Green Vintage Tablescape Place Settings

Next, it’s time to set the table with vintage-inspired table place settings.

Displaying on our Saint Patrick’s Day and Spring vintage tablescape today will be:

• Vermont Mountain Weaver’s White Tablecloths and Napkins
• Wooden chargers
• Thrifted Large Turkish White Plates
• Kent by Josiah Wedgewood & Sons Ltd Green and White plates.
• Limoges Green and Gold Soup Bowls.

The florals set the color and seasonal inspiration for our Irish green vintage tablescape, and the place settings add all the ambiance to the overall tablescape. Does that make sense?

Each plate or bowl may be removed for a different course: soup, salad, or the main course.

The mixed Irish green and white vintage plate patterns add a casual yet thoughtful touch to each place setting.

I started today’s post by mentioning that I first reached for my favorite green flutes as my go-to for Spring and Saint Patrick’s Day decorations.

And yes, that is definitely the truth.

They are my absolute favorite glasses, and they come out to embellish my tables often.

Paired with the Irish green flutes is a wine decanter.

And guess what?

I made it!

There is a local glassblower, Manchester Hot Glass, here in town, and when I first moved to Vermont, I took his glassblowing class and chose the color Irish green for the decanter, representing the Green Mountains of Vermont.

A Few More Important Vintage Tablescape Accessories

Brass candlesticks are one of my all-time favorite home accents to decorate with, period!

Four candlesticks center on today’s Spring and Saint Patrick’s Day vintage tablescape with white candle tapers burning warmly.

And I added a little Irish green moss to each candle holder before adding the tapers.

It gives them a nice outdoor Spring touch.

A couple of Irish green glass paperweight eggs are scattered on the table, and I thought this egg looked so cute under a little glass candle cloche that I had on hand.

Along with my mother’s sterling silver flatware and her favorite vintage Irish green gurgle fish jug.

And no table would be complete without including my friends over at Cutlery Couture!

Their silverware pouches are the most fabulous finishing touch on any table.

I have a collection of these now, which includes lobsters, hydrangeas, white bows, and this cocktail set, perfect for a Saint Patrick’s Day table setting.

You may enjoy seeing all of them in the posts;

I’m also adding a buffet table and sideboard to this dining room space, made from the dining room table I grew up with in Maine.

My father transformed it into a desk for me when I bought my first home in Connecticut, and now I’m remodeling it to be a dining room furniture piece.

Can’t wait to share it with you.

Is St. Patrick’s Day the perfect time for merrymaking?

Well, why not?

We will enjoy setting vintage tablescape with Irish green and relishing in all this Irish holiday has to offer!

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, and I hope it feels like Spring where you are today while you read today’s blog post!
