Spring Decor- How to Style a Mantel – Botanical Inspiration

I am so excited to be part of a blog hop with some of my favorite ladies. These bloggers bring me so much inspiration and I am excited you are joining in so I can share them with you! If you are coming over from Marci of Lemons to Lovelys welcome! Don’t you just love Marci’s style!!

I’ll be sharing my Spring mantel on this tour.

I loved my mantel decor for the Christmas season. I loved it for the winter season too. Now how will I decorate it this year for spring? Spring decor for me always brings a fresh, clean feeling.

I knew I wanted to do something using pilar and taper candles in a moss green color. Green always makes me think of spring.

My candles are from Northern Lights Candle Company. They have a great selection of colors, fragrances and styles! I knew I wanted to find rustic candelabra and holders whether new or vintage.

On a trip to Hobby Lobby I found these two Botanical prints and they pulled my ideas together. I also found the perfect rod iron candelabra and tall barnwood pillar holders.

I always pull in vintage pieces and some of my milk glass collection worked perfectly to add some pops of white.

To help elevate one of the prints so they wouldn’t be exactly side by side, but layered I used my antique sugar mold and turned it upside down.

I went up and down the faux plant aisles of Hobby Lobby using the Botanical prints to match up what plants would work best. I would pull something out and hold it up to the sign. I found cascading greenery to tuck in as well as some in colors and shapes to compliment the prints. I also added pheasant feathers and dried pods.

The wicker bottomed candle holders are from Walmart. I used one on the mantel to hold faux stems from Hobby Lobby and others on a styled tray full of antlers.

A vintage nut cracker holder and copies of Outdoor Life from the 1960s are on display next to a checkerboard from Roughing It In Style.

There’s more spring inspiration on this hop! Next, head to my friend Bethany of Crisp Collective. You will find a lot to inspire you on her blog! See bottom of this post for the schedule and links for all participating in the hop.
