Set a Spring Table

Let the season inspire some Southern hospitality. Put together a tablescape of pastel pinks and shades of green. Then plan a menu for a spring gathering that features some of our favorite recipes. Prepare dainty, sure-to-impress Calla Lily Tea Sandwiches (a Pinterest favorite), and serve with Chicken, Mushroom and Swiss Cheese Quiche. Top it off with delectable Raspberry-White Chocolate Tartlets for dessert.

A table set beneath the blooming branches of a pink saucer magnolia tree honors the season with a tableau. Flower-shaped salad plates that resemble the blooms above look lovely. Contrasting dinner plates add extra color—we used emerald green—and jadeite-green milk glass tumblers lend a vintage air. Bring in sunshine shades with yellow printed napkins and fresh-clipped tulips from the yard, and the simple setting is complete.
