Thank you to all the new subscribers who have come on board in the last couple of weeks! I welcome you!!! And for those who have been around for a while, you know I thank you and appreciate your continued subscription!
I wanted to post what will be our Easter brunch table, but it’s too early for me to get started on it. I won’t start building it until Friday. I’ll post it next week, for sure! Click here if you missed the Easter brunch tablescape requested by a reader last week.
Meanwhile, I am so happy to be able to post a fun and colorful apple green luncheon tablescape. I apologize that I don’t have a person’s name to identify with this post request. The request came in about 2 months ago, and I am just getting around to sharing these ideas. I’m sorry it is coming so late, and I hope it is still useful!

I have had lots of requests for pink & green tablescapes, but this is the first for an apple green & white tablescape. What better way to interpret that than with actual green apples!??!?!
Spring luncheon tables are always so much fun to create! This one is great for a spring or summer luncheon, indoors or out. (It could also work well in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day with a little tweaking!) I started with a crisp white cotton linen. Next comes a gorgeous Pier 1 apple green and white cotton placemat with a fabulous houndstooth pattern. Just for fun and a little added dimension, a clear acrylic square is set atop the placemat. Next comes a simple white ceramic charger, a clear luncheon plate, and finally a plain white salad plate from Corelle. An apple green cotton napkin from Bed, Bath & Beyond adds color to the dish arrangement. The stack is topped off with a Granny Smith apple under a miniature clear cloche bell jar from Hobby Lobby. Clear everyday stems for water and limeade along with contemporary J.A. Henckels “Bellaserra” stainless complete the look.
The centerpiece consists of three separate elements. First, for height, is a pair of clear square floral cylinders filled with Granny Smith apples and fresh Bells of Ireland, topped with a puffy green-tinged hydrangea head. I have used faux hydrangea and apples here for demonstration purposes, but the real thing looks absolutely incredible! If you go all fresh (and I sure hope you do!), fill the container with water to totally submerge the apples and Bells of Ireland stem. Submerged fruit and floral arrangements are so cool!!!
The second and third components of the centerpiece are small clear square votive holders with clumps of cheery green viburnum and a densely packed white kalanchoe plant from the flower nursery.
On the buffet behind the table is the beverage and dessert. Limeade served from a fancy glass decanter such as this makes it look a little more special. I bought this one wholesale some years ago, but check out places like Pottery Barn, Costco or even K-Mart. Float lime slices, Granny Smith apple slices, or a combination of both.
If your luncheon includes gifts for an honored guest, ask your other guests to wrap them in colors that correspond with the luncheon colors. Add a few random florals throughout the gifts for more color and texture so they look to be a part of the overall look and tie in with the table florals.
If you can spring for white chairs to gather ’round the table (ladder back cane chairs or garden chairs), consider weaving a length or two of apple green ribbon through the back of each just for fun.
Well, there you have it. Again, I am so sorry not to be able to say who exactly requested this tablescape. Please step forward and remind this old head, will you? 🙂 It was my distinct pleasure to work this up for you, and I truly hope it lends some inspiration for your summer luncheon. Let me know how it goes!
I am gleefully joining my fellow tablescapers at Susan’s Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday. Won’t you please join us anytime after 9:00 p.m. this evening?
Have a Happy Easter, everyone!
Tablescapes at Table /Twenty-One 
When you said green and white I thought Daylight. I don’t know why that came to mind. Loving the plaid placemats. Wow. I can see a trip to Pier One in my future. Aren’t white dishes just the best? Your green and white turned out so beautiful. I love the apples as the green. the tall towers on the table with the flowers on top are genius! That table is so very inviting! This is a wonderful luncheon.. when did you say you were serving??

I know…right?!?!! I thought the same thing this afternoon as I posted this! When that request came in, however, I didn’t have the Daylight china. I wish this WAS an actual luncheon!!! I would certainly include a Waldorf salad and warm apple turnovers with cinnamon ice cream for dessert! Hey….I am going to email you in a few minutes. The email will come from table21tablescapes@gmail.

I don’t think I was the one who requested this, but I absolutely LOVE your granny smith green table. I love that shade anyway, and I think every element of this table from the linens to the wonderful centerpiece(s) is wonderful.
I also love the idea about asking guests to wrap gifts in coordinating paper. That is such an excellent one.
I was off last week for TT so I might have missed an update, but U hope your Savannah trip was a good one!

I was thinking this morning about doing an April in Paris post, but I think I’ll run out of time before April is over. I was flashing back to your Eiffel Tower table. Loved it! You should repost it ASAP. Can’t wait to see Easter at the Nichol’s house.

Hello, my apple green lovin’ pal!!! Man, how I wish this would have been set up for a real event at our house! I love doing tablescapes at readers’ request, but it always seems such a shame that no one is there to actually enjoy it up close and in person! 😦 I may have to start making my friends come over “just because.” You have PLENTY of time to do an April in Paris post! Oh, wait…it’s the 21st. Well, still…you can do it! We’ll have a simple, sparsely attended Easter brunch here. I think just 6 of us, possibly 7. Still working on a menu. I usually go WAY overboard with the food, but I don’t think so this time. We’ll see. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

Alycia, apple green and white..love it and the colors are so appetizing for a luncheon. Love the floral arrangements and your tips on using fresh apples and flowers (fresh is always my preference,too, if possible). I thought I signed up a couple of weeks ago, but I’m not getting the reminders. I probably did something wrong in the process. lol
This time I’m putting you in my favorite places just in case, so I don’t lose you. I’ll try to “follow” you again and follow the instructions better. I hope this doesn’t mess up your mailing list.
