Spring is on its way - and with it two colours that will dominate tableware in 2026: soft pink and fresh green. Our Table decorations for spring with hellebores shows precisely this combination: soft flowers, airy textiles and a colour scheme that immediately evokes the joys of spring - without any elaborate decoration.
In this article, we'll show you how to recreate this look at home: with flowers from your nearest florist, a practical floristry trick and products that you can hire or buy from us.
The colour palette: soft pink meets fresh green
Anyone who follows the trend reports at the major design fairs will be familiar with it: Pink and green are the colour duo of the moment this year - a combination that is as timeless as spring itself. Not gaudy, not loud - but in those muted, natural tones that are reminiscent of powdery blossoms and soft moss in the early morning light.
Silver accents and off-white - a homage to Cloud Dancer, the Pantone colour of the year 2026 - round off the palette.
This colour combination does something to us: the pink evokes warmth and tenderness - it reminds us of the first cherry blossom, of soft mornings and the feeling that everything is beginning anew. The green brings vibrancy and grounding at the same time, like a deep breath after a long winter. The white creates calm - space to breathe deeply. Together, this palette creates a feeling of gentle optimism: a longing for lightness, for beauty without effort, for a table where you want to welcome guests.
The flowers: Hellebores, tulips & snowball
The centrepiece of this table decoration are the Hellebores - delicate, elegant and currently available in every well-stocked flower shop. They owe their name to an old legend: Hellebores is said to have blossomed on Christmas night - when a girl who had no present for the baby Jesus wept bitterly and a white flower grew out of the snow where her tears touched the ground. A name with a story - and a flower that actually blooms in the middle of winter when all the other plants are still asleep.
They are supplemented by Tulips in shades of pink - probably the uncrowned queen of spring. Tulips are incredibly versatile: they can stand upright and clear or lean picturesquely to one side over time, giving the arrangement a natural, lively movement. This is exactly what makes them so perfect for table decorations - no arrangement ever looks stiff with tulips.
And the Snowball (Viburnum) completes the trio - with its round, white flower spikes, it brings a dreamlike lightness to the arrangement. It is the silent star that holds everything together: it combines the pink of the tulips with the white of the Christmas roses and gives the arrangement that airy, almost floating quality that we know from professional florists.
The great thing is that all three flowers are in season, can be found in any well-stocked florist and are affordable. You don't need a florist or any prior knowledge - with our trick below, the arrangement is guaranteed to work.
By the way, we have explained in detail how to showcase tulips in glass vases in our article Decorating tulips in glass vases described.

Floristry tip: Wire mesh as an invisible holder
To prevent flowers in larger vases from simply falling to the edge, take a piece of wire mesh - for example, simple rabbit wire from the DIY store - shape it into a loose ball and place it in the vase. It is invisible under water, but gives each flower exactly the support it needs. The result is a full-bodied, professional arrangement - very simple.
Spring table decorations with Hellebores: the decorative pieces in detail
Tablecloth & NapkinsA linen tablecloth in off-white lays the calm foundation. Linen has a property that hardly any other fabric possesses: it becomes more beautiful with time. The slightly textured surface catches the light in a natural way. The linen napkins in champagne are loosely folded on the plate - no origami, nothing overly formal. With a Napkin ring from Broste The result is an elegant detail that guests will notice.
PETAL place mat in green: The green rattan placemat is the colour accent that sets this table apart from an ordinary spring look. The fresh green colour corresponds with the leaves of the Christmas rose and the snowball blossom umbels - and beautifully grounds the delicate pink tones.
Tableware ROSAHand-painted colour, feminine silhouettes, a manual process that makes each piece unique - the ROSA series from Costa Nova could have been designed for this spring table. The delicate pink picks up on the colour of Christmas roses, the curved edges are reminiscent of petals and the casual elegance of the collection goes perfectly with linen, rattan and fresh spring flowers. A table that breathes romance - and this tableware is its centrepiece.
Cutlery DORIC Transparent from CapdecoThe grooved, transparent handles of the DORIC CLEAR pay homage to the Doric columns of the ancient Parthenon - and they really come into their own at the spring table. The clear material catches the light like drops of water on petals, the fine grooves are reminiscent of the grain of rattan and linen. Timeless elegance that doesn't impose itself here - but simply belongs.
JAZZ glassesThe glasses from the Jazz collection impress with their laser-cut, reinforced rim and combine elegance with functionality in a stylish design. Made from high-quality, ultra-clear glass, they emphasise the clear freshness of the water and, with their light, flower-like shape, blend harmoniously into the springtime table concept.
Vase, Candlestick & Candles: The centrepiece is a large ceramic vase in lush green, which supports the floral arrangement with its calm, clear design and picks up on the fresh spring colours of the table. The setting is complemented by slender tapered candles from Ester & Erik in apple green, which add a light, fresh touch and echo the green accents of the flowers. The Ester & Erik candlesticks in matt silver create an elegant, modern contrast and lend the table decoration a calm, stylish balance.
Glass Easter eggs as eye-catchers
Yes, they are big. And that's exactly why they work so well. The oversized glass Easter eggs bring a dose of humour and surprise to the table - almost as if the Easter bunny had left a little statement here. Their shiny surface reflects the light, the flowers and the green candles, making them real eye-catchers. Between the delicate flowers, linen and glass, they deliberately appear a little unexpected - and this is exactly what gives the table character and a fine dose of Easter vibes. That's why this table is a wonderful inspiration for stylish Easter decorations.
