Hear Me Out — I've Found the Floral Plates That Actually Prove Why a Flower Print Will Always Be Perfect for Spring

Rotating GIF of three images of floral dinner plates on a table setting. The images are close ups with food on the plates.

I find that every good dinner party, soirée, brunch, or gathering is all the better when there is a decorating theme (or at least a few well-planned pieces). With the trees starting to blossom and April right around the corner, I'm sure we all have a few spring dinner party plans in motion — and what better seasonal theme than florals? I know, I know, not very avant-garde of me, so in the defence of all things flower-print, I've found 24 floral plates that prove this pattern is still perfect for the spring table decor ideas.

The main vice of decorating with floral plates is that floral prints often read as stuffy, dated, or a little too retro. So, to keep your table setting from being deemed boring and 'basic,' we want our floral crockery to incorporate punchy spring color palettes (think chartreuse, magenta, and butter yellow), unique hand-drawn designs, and unexpected dinnerware pairings. These elements are the key difference between spring/Easter table decor that would make Miranda Priestly roll her eyes, and Easter decor design-obsessed individuals would actually buy.
