If you’ve arrived here from Monica Wants It, wasn’t Monica’s table breathtaking? Her impeccable style and beautiful ideas are always so inspiring. I’m in awe of her talent!
For those of you who are new to Shine Your Light, I’m Donna. My husband, our three teenagers, and I live in Massachusetts, where I’ve been lovingly transforming our 1980s fixer-upper into a home filled with charm and warmth. It’s been a slow process, but one filled with creativity and joy.
Recently, Mark’s work travels took him to Arizona, and for the first time in ages, I was able to tag along. After enduring a cold, gray winter in the Northeast, it was heavenly to soak up the sunshine, marvel at blue skies, and admire the unique beauty of Arizona’s cacti and bougainvillea. That brief getaway left me feeling rejuvenated and inspired to infuse our home with the lively colors of spring.
A Vintage Star for the Table

The centerpiece of this spring table is a true treasure a vintage Murano glass pitcher. This delicate hand-blown and painted piece was acquired decades ago by Mark’s great aunt and uncle on the Venetian island of Murano. Though we’ve had it for years, I recently rediscovered it and fell in love all over again with its intricate design and feather-light elegance. It’s incredible that such a fragile piece has made its way through the years intact.
Accompanying the pitcher are two dainty glasses from the same set, equally exquisite in their craftsmanship. For practicality (and the safety of the Murano glass), I’ve paired them with charming glasses from The Christmas Tree Shop. While not as unique as the vintage ones, they complement the Murano set beautifully and are perfect for our bustling household.
To bring spring to life, I filled the pitcher and its matching platter with flowering cherry branches and wax flowers from my go-to florist Trader Joe’s. The soft hues and delicate blossoms add an elegant and cheerful touch to the table.
Pops of Color and Whimsy

Adding another layer of personality to the table, I opted for a tablecloth with a twist a clearance shower curtain from Target! Draped diagonally, it introduces a vibrant burst of color and pattern while leaving parts of the wooden table exposed for a balanced look. This diagonal trick is a fantastic way to repurpose smaller items as table coverings, adding charm without needing a perfect fit.
Do you agree this shower curtain is much more fun in its new role? It’s a simple yet effective way to elevate the table setting and make it feel fresh for the season.
To complete the look, I scattered a few adorable bunny-shaped chocolates around the table. These little cuties double as playful decorations and tasty treats. Add a ribbon and a name tag to each bunny, and voilà—instant place cards for your guests. Just be sure to keep an eye on them my kids are likely to gobble them up long before dinner is served!
Flowers That Steal the Show
No spring table is complete without flowers, and for me, ranunculus is the ultimate spring bloom. These vibrant, layered flowers are irresistible, and I couldn’t leave the store without a bunch (or two). Their cheerful colors brighten any table and pair beautifully with the wax flowers and cherry blossoms already in the mix.
Whether arranged in a simple vase or scattered in smaller bunches, fresh flowers instantly make a table feel special and seasonal.
Delicious Desserts for the Occasion

No spring celebration is complete without a delicious dessert, and I’m excited to share a family favorite: my mother-in-law’s incredible carrot cake. I’ll be honest I wasn’t a fan of carrot cake until I tried this recipe, but it’s truly life-changing. Topped with rich cream cheese frosting, it’s a dessert you’ll savor bite after bite. You can find the full recipe here. Trust me; it’s worth every calorie!
If you’re looking for another sweet option, my apple upside-down cake is a must-try. The caramelized apple topping and moist cake are an irresistible combination, perfect for a spring gathering.

A Touch of Arizona
Inspired by my recent trip to Arizona, I’ve incorporated a few subtle desert-inspired touches to the table. The warm tones of the wooden table, combined with the lively floral arrangements, echo the sun-drenched landscapes I enjoyed in Scottsdale and Sedona. These elements remind me of the unique beauty of the Southwest, adding a layer of personal connection to the table design.
Embrace Spring’s Spirit

The beauty of creating a spring table lies in its versatility. Whether you’re hosting an elegant Easter dinner or simply gathering with loved ones for a casual brunch, incorporating fresh flowers, vibrant colors, and meaningful pieces can transform the experience.
