Beautiful Easter Tablescape that’s Easy to Create

Create a beautiful Easter tablescape & menu for entertaining! I’ve shared at least eight tricks you can re-create plus a tasty meal plan with recipes. These ideas and more are party of our Easter entertaining series that will help make you the hostess with the mostess!

Set a beautiful Easter tablescape with muted pastels, themed details, and pretty flowers.

Easter is mere weeks away so it’s time to start thinking about your Easter tablescape! This year I wanted to focus on a floral theme, using a soft color palette. Almost everything here that’s considered “base” pieces is white or neutral, so the decorative themed pieces explode with color. At first glance it may look like a full table but it’s really quite simple to create.

Don’t forget to incorporate the BEST Easter egg hunt idea if you have toddlers on the guest list for the day. 

Follow along as I share the specifics and highlight some fun ideas you can incorporate. Find even MORE Easter entertaining ideas & menu here!

Easter Place Settings with a Collected Feel

I know I’ve said it over and over, but I love mixing basic white plates with vintage decorative plates, and layering them for a ‘collected’ look. That’s what I did here with some pink glass salad/dessert plates I found at the thrift shop. I also used modern water goblets alongside pink vintage champagne coupes for the same effect. These pink pieces actually become “neutral” in this tablescape filled with Spring flowers and colorful Easter eggs.

TIP 1: Use a fresh flower stem to decorate each plate. Heartier flowers like chrysanthemums or carnations hold up well without being in water.

Each place setting gets a modern version of an Easter basket, so to speak. I used mini compotes {from Walmart} to hold basket filler and decorative eggs. FYI, the speckled ones are a few years old, and the gold-leafed ones are from Target’s $1 aisle.

Pretty decorated eggs and a mix of flowers creates a beautiful Easter centerpiece

Decorate with Easter eggs to reinforce the theme of the day. Use mini egg crates with gilded eggs to combine natural and glam together. These crates were in the $1 aisle at Target. Again I used speckled eggs along with gold-leafed eggs in order to keep it interesting.

Tip 2: Use real eggshells as mini flower vases. Spray paint them gold to dress them up!

Small flowers are tucked into the crates using real eggshells as their vase. Making them is easy using a sharp serrated knife to crack and break off the top portion of the egg. Drain the egg into a bowl so you can cook it up later, and rinse out the inside of the shell. Let air dry upside down on a paper towel, and then paint the shells using gold metallic spray paint. When dry, fill the shell with water and place it into the crate. Pop in a single flower that has been cut down to size. TIP: Cracking the egg shells is easier when you let the egg come to room temperature first.

TIP 3: Instead of creating one large floral centerpiece with a mix of flowers, arrange several smaller vessels with each holding a single type of flower.

Create a centerpiece of Spring flowers using mini pitchers or other small vases. Here, tulips, carnations, and snapdragons are displayed separately to give them each more impact. The mix of colors and textures keeps the Easter tablescape more interesting.

Create an Easter menu with classic recipes and themed appetizers

I love to offer light appetizers to guests while waiting on the meal, and food becomes part of your Easter tablescape when presented in an attractive way. Cheese & crackers gets an Easter spin with these slightly sweet bites that have been decorated to look like little carrots. You’re going to want to grab this recipe for Easter appetizers creamy carrot bites. Aren’t they adorable!

Tip 4: Decorating with flowers doesn’t stop at the centerpiece. Add a floral accent to serving dishes by adding a single bloom at opposite corners of the platter.

In keeping with the “neutral pink” idea, serve some Rosé bubbly to celebrate the occasion.

TIP 5: Make a ‘BUNNY TAIL’ cocktail by shaping white cotton candy into a ball shape and displaying on the side of the glass. When ready to drink, place the ‘bunny tail’ in the glass and pour some sparkling Rosé over top.

If you’re serving children, serve some sparkling cider with the cotton candy “bunny tails” or a delicious sparkling fruit punch.

These small bites can be served for Easter brunch or dinner

Another classic appetizer I like to serve is ham & cheese phyllo cups. These are terrific for Easter brunch, or for any time your’re entertaining at home.

TIP 6: Use your egg server for something besides deviled eggs. Phyllo cup appetizers fit perfectly inside the compartments!

Of course you can always serve my favorite delicious deviled eggs with bacon because they’re a hit with everyone!

Use flower stems in an unexpected way to ‘wow’ your guests

It’s always fun to add something unexpected to your party or celebrations at home. In this case I took the floral accents from the Easter tablescape, to the wall!

TIP 7: Add a wall of flowers for a fun and festive backdrop, using hearty blooms that will last outside of water.

To create this accent wall I simply attached strips of ribbon to the wall, using tape. Then, using mini clothes pins, I attached small flowers at varying intervals. Using these small “poms,” the installment actually lasts a few days. You could also add greenery to the mix for a lush look.

Include these sweet chocolate nests for Easter dessert

There’s always room for dessert, especially when it’s something as cute as these chocolate nests.

TIP 8: Send guests home with chocolate nests filled with candy eggs. Wrap them up in clear bags along with a couple of lemon leaves or bay leaves for a pretty accent.

These chocolate nests can be part of a bigger dessert table, or can be used as party favors. They’re sure to be a hit with adults and children alike.

There you have it. Loads of inspiration for a beautiful Easter tablescape, and 8 tips to bring it all to life. Make sure you follow the links for the recipes and how-to’s.

Cheers!
