But if you can nail your table decor, guests will be ultra impressed. Take a look at these tips for putting together a magnificent display of Easter table decor.
Focus on a Specific Color Scheme
For Easter tablescapes 2023 and 2022, we saw a large variety of focusing on a single color palette. This trend is still a great way to create a pretty table and simplifies the decor for your Easter centerpiece.
Using one color has a surprisingly beautiful effect. The soft hues of lavender Easter eggs compliment the fresh flowers. It is a simple centerpiece that is extra eye-catching because of the single color palette. Source unknown.
Here is another example from Ciao! Newport Beach of utilizing one color choice for your table scheme. The varying pink shades are perfect for spring colors. And the small pink bouquets that go across the center of the table are absolutely beautiful. The pink plates add a great texture to the pink Easter table.
And speaking of plates - I highly recommend having a nice set for family gatherings like Easter. My best advice is to choose a set that will not only look amazing as part of your Easter table decor, but also that can easily be used year round.
Not a fan of the feminine pastel colors? You can never go wrong with a green and white tablescape, even if you already used it last year. It is a classic color scheme for an Easter table setting and this one especially is so lovely.
The green plants and moss table runner compliment the small contrasts of white. Glass jars are always a great idea to add fun decor items. The green place mats are an easy way to add design and texture if you want to keep your dinner plate simple.
Incorporate Natural Elements into Your Easter Tablescape
Isn't the appearance of taking a stroll through the forest so soothing? I love the use of wooden place settings and natural greenery in this tablescape. It creates a stunning focal point for the whole table.
The use of deeper colors is calming and warm, but if you want to lighten it slightly, the spring flowers make a great addition. You can use fresh or find a decent selection of faux flowers online or at places like Hobby Lobby.
Nothing says happy spring more than a gathering of cherry blossoms and a nest filled with eggs. I love these Easter decoration ideas from DesignThusiasm. The soft pastel theme with natural elements creates an elegant flair for the dining table.
This woodland inspired tablescape is just divine! The vibrant green is complimented perfectly with wood branches. Small eggs sprinkled throughout helps to break up the branches and bring in some color.
And instead of a standard plastic Easter bunny, these moss figurines are a unique way to tie in to the forest theme while creating a fun place setting.
Utilize Floral Themes
There's just something about decorating with flowers that gets me every time. I LOVE flowers. So much so that I often have a fresh bouquet in my kitchen. Utilize a gorgeous floral centerpiece at every opportunity!
I love this one because it mixes in grass as well as flowers and looks like your table took a jaunt through a meadow of wildflowers.
If you need an additional element to help frame your centerpiece, adding table runners is a great way to do that. A table runner can also help to add a splash of color or a dash of neutrality, all while protecting your table top. Here are some great table runner options.
Pairing up simple place settings with a stunning floral centerpiece is a great way to go! I absolutely love this one from Rachel Parcell that practically spans the entire length of the table. The white plates and gold flatware are the perfect choice to highlight the gorgeous floral arrangement!
If big and bold isn't your thing, then try out this vintage vibe tablescape with jars of tulips for the main centerpieces from So Much Better With Age. It's the perfect way to add an element of rustic to your Easter table decorations.
Pro tip: when your tulips start to droop add pennies to the water. They will perk right back up.
