Easter Brunch Tabletop

Welcome springtime with an Easter brunch complete with pastel tablescape and a tasty menu. Get inspiration and recipes right here.

Today’s tablescape is filled with the colors of springtime for an Easter brunch that’s inviting and delicious. The inspiration for this came from these adorable little bunny plates that I found at HomeGoods. They add whimsy without being too “cutesy.” They also allowed me to bring in some of my favorite colored glassware as the band of flowers around the plates is like a spring garden full of blooming color!

I created this Easter brunch as a way to entertain at home with a light menu that’s full of flavor. Host it for friends or family before having an Easter egg hunt! See all the ideas and recipes below.

Easter Brunch

Setting the Table:

• The table setting is simple, really. I’ve used lots of colors but since they’re in soft muted hues the look is very tranquil. Each place setting incorporates yellow plates, blue napkins, pink and green glasses, and specialty bunny plates that tie it all together.
• A single billy ball stem lays across each plate and adds a bit of nature to the settings.
• Egg cups are terrific to use as name holders {like I did for these tea party ideas} but can also hold an array of items other than eggs. Here I added greenery and a mini chocolate bunny for each guest.
• Speaking of greenery, I use a mossy plant filler instead of the typical Easter basket “grass.” I like how it elevates the table to a more sophisticated look.
• For the centerpiece I filled two different sized vases with a mix of pink, yellow, and white flowers. and because groupings always play better in three’s, I included a dish filled with eggs and more mossy filler.

Menu:

• This light meal consists of a relish dish {my grandmother ALWAYS included a relish dish at holiday meals}, a quiche, a green and citrus salad, and my favorite deviled eggs with bacon.
• I used my egg dish as the relish tray to serve caper berries, cornichons, olive, and nuts. The little compartments worked great for separating everything!
• The salad is a mix of baby kale & baby spinach + orange slices + lightly toasted walnuts + crumbled Gorgonzola cheese; all topped with a champagne vinaigrette dressing.
• The goat cheese & roasted red pepper quiche recipe is a favorite which I served at this baby shower sip and see.
• These deviled eggs with bacon are out of this world, and is my staple recipe.
• To wash it all down I served a sparkling Rosé for the adults and sparkling apple juice for the kids.

Dessert Table:

• The desserts were purchased, and dressed up for the occasion. I chose two mini cakes from the bakery – chocolate cappuccino fudge, and vanilla buttercream. I dressed them up with fresh flowers and a ring of rosemary.
• Macarons were provided by Dana’s Bakery in an array of flavors from Birthday Cake, to Key Lime Pie. The Orange Creamsicle and Fruity Cereal flavors tasted just like my childhood {hello creamsicle ice cream and Fruity Pebbles cereal!}. They also offer a subscription program as well as custom orders.

This brunch was a hit with the family {especially the desserts} and it was so simple to put together. You really don’t have to go over the top to make a great impression on your guests!

cheers!
