A Twist on Traditional Spring Colors
I set a spring table today without using my traditional spring colors. I used pink and brown because I was inspired by … a napkin!
It might sound unexpected, but trust me, it looks absolutely gorgeous. Here are some tips for putting together a pretty table with pink and brown spring colors.

Inspiration From a Napkin
I recently purchased some new cloth napkins with a beautiful pattern in soft brown tones. I bought them thinking that they would look wonderful with so many of the plates I use to set a table.
And then, a serendipitous happenstance occurred. I unboxed my new napkins and plopped them onto the counter in the butler’s pantry, right next to a stack of pink plates and a wonderful new vintage cranberry glass compote.
The rest is history.

Pink and Brown is a Gorgeous Combination of Spring Colors

It might sound a little wacky, but pink and brown really are a gorgeous combination for a spring table setting.
Last year, I chose pink as the color accent for my winter decor. Living in a house full of men has not given me much opportunity to decorate with pink. So, I embraced the new winter color with my whole heart.
When I would go to a flea market or antique store, all of a sudden, all I saw was pink. Pink china and pink glassware and pink Christmas ornaments. Plus pink faux flowers. To be honest, I may have overdone it a bit, but it was so much fun!
This new color combination was absolutely stunning. I knew right away that I would set my spring table with this gorgeous color combination.
Where did I find all of the items to set this spring colors table?

The only new item on this table is the soft brown and white toile napkins.
Everything else I already owned.
I love to shop my home. Why? Because it’s cheaper for one. And I love finding new discoveries using old stuff. It’s kind of like a fun challenge!
I easily found enough items for a pink and brown table! Let me share what I found.
Setting the Table

Here is the table setting. It is casual and elegant as well.
I used my Hyacinth placemats, pink plates, and some vintage flowered salad plates that I found at the Rose Bowl Flea Market.

I pulled out my pink goblets and gold-rimmed wine glasses. I think they compliment this table so well.

I went to a vintage sale this past weekend and bought this pink glass footed bowl for $20 from The Pink Porch Ventura! It worked perfectly as a vase for some pink faux flowers. I included links below to the different styles of pink flowers.

Such a beautiful tablescape.
Thanks so much Rachel!
About how many peony bunches are in your center piece for that beautiful new pink bowl?
Great idea!
I love that floral arrangement; I was shocked to see it is silk flowers-I’m off for supplies to make my own!
Yay! Let me know how it goes.
WOW! That is beautiful! I really like the dark rose flower tops on the table. Would love to know where you found them. Thank you
This is a gorgeous table, I love the combination of the pink and brown!! The little flowers scattered on the table are fun! Can you tell me where you got the? I used to live near the Rose Bowl and miss shopping there! You are so very creative, I always look forward to your posts!
I didn’t know that pink and brown goes good together. GORGEOUS.
Thanks Rebecca!
I have several different size dishes of those vintage floral salad plates you have. Two of my aunts had sets of those dishes and, as a child, I loved them. Over the years they each had broken some but together they had quite a few and they both remembered how I loved them as a child. They combined what they had and gave them all to me, including a large platter. I LOVE them and look for reasons to use them at every opportunity.
Your new compote housing those beautiful flowers looks like Kings Crown Thumbprint. As I have a similar one, I will thank you for a spendid idea, to use it for a floral arrangement. Such a delightful table setting.

Gorgeous as always! Such inspiration as I await spring on yet another snowy day. Thanks Leslie.
So close!
Lovely table setting. Do you have a link for the interesting flowers setting directly on the table?

As usual a spectacular table setting. Thank you so sharing your beautiful ideas for us. Hove a wonderful day and week. God bless
Thanks so much Heidi! It was such a wonderful event. ☺️
Where did you purchase your napkins? The Amazon ones are different.
They are unfortunately out of stock- the ones I linked are the same brand with similar colors.
