Set Your Table With Flair—A Spring-Infused Easter Setting

 

Hello, friends and welcome to my blog.  This Sunday is Easter Sunday, so in honor of this forthcoming holiday, I thought I would share a simple and sweet table setting fit for the occasion.  I hope you enjoy the post!

I wanted this Easter tablescape to be cheerful and infused with Spring elements.  I began the setting with a sparkly table topper and I added these wonderful plaid chargers in pretty pastels perfect for season.

I followed the chargers with this lovely patterned plate with a gorgeous blue rim and dainty blossoms.  I also added French-style watering cans with sweet little blooms at either side of the table.

The accompanying salad plate and teacup and saucer were added along with gold flatware and iridescent flutes to complete the place setting.

A rustic blue basket full of vibrant Spring blooms was added as an additional centerpiece.

The bright and cheerful blossoms pick up the pattern in the plates quite nicely, whilst the basket matches the rims and watering cans.

 I love how the flutes reflect light and cast off so many colors!

Completed tablescape.

Are you planning your menu?

Until next we meet,

Adding the Final Touches For Easter

Hello, friends!  Thank you for stopping by to say hello for a few minutes today.  I am so glad the kiddos are beginning Spring Break, so we can spend some much-needed time together!  Earlier today, I spent a bit of time putting together the finishing touches for our Easter Sunday celebration.  Just a bit of tweaking here and there...nothing too complicated, will make for a sweet time that is enjoyable and relaxing.  I hope you enjoy the post!

More Flowers For the Entry 

 

I recently shared the tutorial for very simple baskets which I have hung on my front doors.

To make the entry even more welcoming, I added another arrangement indicative of the Spring season.    I began on my little garden pillar.   I added a large urn.  On the urn, I set a large rustic basket.

 I made sure to use a basket with almost the same diameter bottom as the mouth of the urn.

 

 

I have filled the basket with colorful blooms such as lilacs, lilies, daffodils, delphinium, grasses, et cetera...

 

and a sweet little bunny.

 

 

Isn't he cute?

 

To anchor him, I simply used a bamboo skewer.  I pushed the skewer into a tiny hole in the bottom of Mr. Cottontail

 

and placed it into the basket.

 

 

There's nothing like flowers for Easter!!

 

 

Setting The Table With Flair

 

For this year's Easter Tablescape, I am keeping things simple with a beautiful palette of fresh spring color.

 

Fresh white linen, crisp blue,

and soft, springy yellow,

 

makes for an elegant yet low-key setting.

A simple centerpiece of ample flowers in antique English Crockery,

sweet dessert forks,

and silver flatware

completes and compliments the setting.

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather and bounty of Spring!

Set Your Table with Flair--Whimsical Easter Setting

I'm sure we've all attended holiday gatherings as children. I have distinct memories of being seated at the "kids' table."  Why should the kids' table be the typical sad card table haphazardly set with mismatched chairs and dinnerware?   I love entertaining, so I enjoy having family over; especially for holidays.  I usually set two tables; this is how I set an Easter Holiday table for children.  

When putting together this setting, I think of pastel colors infused with playful place settings.  I began with a lavender colored tablecloth and these flower placemats.  I used two of each color in my set, choosing to omit the lavender, which I think looks washed out against the lavender cloth. 

Next, I placed these adorable polka-dotted plates in opposing colors onto the mats. 

The salad plates, which I placed next, match the placemat. 

Now that there were three colors on each setting, I opted to place whichever color had not been used when I set the bowls. 

When I placed the saucer, I again chose to place on each setting whichever color had not been featured.

I placed the mugs on the saucers, again choosing to match the placemat. I then placed a matching napkin ring and pastel colored napkin. All complete for a fun (not glum) Easter setting!
