Set Your Table With Flair--Subtle and Sweet Easter Tablescape

Hello, friends...is it almost Easter Sunday, can you believe it?  Are you planning your menu?  A sweet Easter-egg hunt for your little ones or grands?  Or do you prefer to keep things low-key and enjoy family with a simple activity such as coloring eggs?  We alternate through the years, but most of the time, we are low-key yet traditional.  I usually apply the same idea when I set the table for holidays as well.  I absolutely love traditional holiday decorating, and typically it doesn't matter to me whether or not the table actually coincides with the décor in the house.  For this year's Easter table, I have decided to step away from that practice and set a table with the soft, cool colors reflected in my home.  I hope you enjoy the post!

The tablescape began on my dining table, sans tablecloth, with a white and blue scrolled runner placed in the center of the table.  I opted not to use placemats, choosing to set fleur-de-lis plates in a soft shade of blue as a foundation.

The coordinating salad plate

is followed by a simple white saucer

and whimsical little grey plates with bunny motifs.

Crystal is placed at each setting to capture light.

It isn't traditional, but I really want to showcase the prettiness of the plates, so the flatware is placed to the right of the setting on top of sweet little crocheted-edge tea towels, and held together with pewter napkin holders.

 

Concrete grey bunnies who have been visiting us in the kitchen

become the centerpiece of the table,

along with low-height arrangements of soft-petalled flowers.

The delicate ruffled edges of the flowers almost look like cabbages, don't they?
