This Throwback Joanna Gaines Look Has Convinced Me That Green and White is the Vintage Tableware Trend to Love Right Now
It's the new blue and white when it comes to vintage-inspired tableware
Here at Homes & Gardens, we're always on the hunt for the next big design trend – but sometimes, it pays to look backwards. Nostalgia is dominating the world of interiors this year, and designers like Joanna Gaines have demonstrated that vintage-style decor is taking center stage. In fact, I recently spotted Joanna decorating with vintage blue and white tableware – and it's now green and white tableware that I've got my eye on thanks to Joanna's beloved homeware brand, Magnolia.
My inspiration came from a Magnolia post shared a long time ago, but it feels strikingly on-trend for 2025, proving that Joanna Gaines is always a step ahead. Showcasing a hearty fall menu served on vintage-inspired green and white dishes, the shot taps into this year's country grandmother-inspired tableware craze, showing that the heirloom look simply doesn't date.

The post reminds me that the best designers pull from the archives, using time-honored trends to inform contemporary choices. Decorating with vintage is as popular as ever in 2025, but fortunately, you don't need to spend hours at the flea market to build the look. Some of my favorite brands have dropped incredible vintage-style collections this year, and in fact, Magnolia's 2025 holiday decor collection is a fantastic example. From polished brass accents to heritage prints, Joanna Gaines knows exactly how to nail retro style – which is why the green and white tableware look still feels so fresh to me.
So, while vintage blue and white pieces also be one of Joanna's favorite palettes, I've got a real soft spot for the forest green combination – and it's totally timeless. I'll be channelling Magnolia and adding a few choice pieces to my hosting closet for upcoming dinner parties.

With its intricate botanical design and dainty edge, this plate really could have come straight from my grandmother's cabinet – and I'd be happy to display it for years to come.
I love that this dinnerware set offers a more understated take on the floral look – and the pieces look so elegant when they're layered together.
While the Magnolia look showcases deep green florals, this handsome plate is a more vibrant alternative. It's the perfect versatile piece.
Channel the Nancy Meyers tableware trend with this countryside-inspired charger plate. I'd pair it with crisp white linens and gold candlesticks.
With service for 8 guests, this set could be the star of your next soiree – and all of your dinner parties to come. I love the nature-inspired prints and tiny dragonfly motifs.
The Ralph Lauren tableware trend might be one of this year's hottest holiday looks, but this elegant plate will serve you well all year round. I'd style it with red accents for Christmas and swap them out for pastels come springtime.
