With Easter round the corner I am looking for ideas on how to set the table for our family dinner. Thought I would share some of my findings with you in this post. Obviously I spend way too much time decorating the table and not enough time cooking. Fortunately my guests know me well and bring the food! Here are some ideas to consider when putting your tablescape together. Keeping budget in mind and a creative mind you can make your table shine and impress your guests with a beautiful presentation. 1. Au Natural If you want a simple natural look then consider using fresh flowers, neutrals and linen. Keeping a limited palette of neutrals and textured fabrics is a very Scandinavian style and makes quite the impact. We do like the black hardware here as it stands out against the neutral table linen. 2. Mixing it up with vintage We call ourselves vintage hunters but really it should be vintage hoarders. Love how this table is mixed up with vintage brass candle sticks and paired with lavender. Not everyone will have a stash of brass rabbits so a smart replacement would be the gold chocolate Lindt rabbits. Or consider using something completely unexpected like air plants. No green finger? then use the faux kind which are priced the same and last forever. 3. Creative centerpieces Adding a lil something special to the center of your plate is a nice touch and most of these items can be found at your local art store. Keeping your layering to one or two colors will make your setting elegant and classic. Mini eggs are typically what is used but I like the pie option in the second pic. It also serves as dessert! 4. Keeping it fresh Nothing compares to fresh flowers so if you can splurge on one thing, make that fresh flowers. You can choose from your traditional choice of tulips and daffodils or go one step further and consider lily of the valley, lavender, pussy willow or even white roses. We like to bring in branches of the spring blooms like cherry or apple blossoms, even Magnolia branches with the pink flowers in full bloom. I do hope our trees flower in time this year, it's been so cold for so long. 5. D'Souza Residence Tablescape 2018 And this was our tablescape last year. Our guests felt so special and welcomed when they saw the effort we made. We used simple kraft paper as the base and layered it with baby's breath flower arrangements and marbled details. The centerpiece was made with a piece of burlap ribbon that was stapled together to form a nest and placed in a paper cup cake holder. There are so many ideas here guys, have fun creating an impressive tablescape. I know it's all about the food but just imagine the food being set on a table like this. Your guests will love it.
Have a wonderful Spring and Easter celebration with your families. Big hugs. {All pics via Pinterest}
