Easter is just around the corner so it's time for me to start planning my table! I usually start pulling out some of my favorite plates, napkins and accessories and "play" with them until I get a look that I like. Today I am sharing ten of my go-to tips for creating the perfect holiday table that help to make planning a little easier and certainly a lot more fun!
Add fresh flowers, cuttings of spring branches or even moss to add a natural touch to your table. My MOSS-COVERED EGGS serve as great little toppers for your place setting and give a nod to Easter as well.
Why not display your flatware in a cute seasonal pocket? These NO-SEW BUNNY EAR SILVERWARE POCKETS are fun and easy to make and they can double as place cards, too!
Nothing says Easter like bunnies and these BUNNY EAR NAPKIN RINGS add the perfect bit of texture to your table! And they are inexpensive to make...always a plus!
Perfect for Easter brunch or an informal Easter lunch, my CHALKBOARD BUNNY PLACE CARDS add a fun element to your table!
Almost a necessity for the table, eggs are not only a symbol of Easter but a nod to spring as well. My POTTERY BARN INSPIRED PLACE CARD HOLDERS manage to do both!
When I find myself struggling for ideas, I check out some of my favorite web sites or catalogs to see what they are sharing. This POTTERY BARN INSPIRED TABLESCAPE was fun to put together and not that expensive since I already had many similar elements, which leads me to the next tip...
It's much more fun to me to see what I can come up with in the way of copy cat elements than to walk in and purchase what the popular stores are featuring as Easter dinnerware. You would be surprised what a trip to the dollar store will net you! Just check out my tips for GETTING THE POTTERY BARN LOOK FOR LESS.
If you are like me and are expecting children among the guests at your Easter dinner, it's always fun to include a little something special for them. These NO-SEW BUNNY TREAT BAGS are a fun take-home favor that gives your young guests a little surprise as well.
I like to have a little something out of the ordinary at my table each year. My NO-SEW EGG COZIES were fun and easy to make and add a little surprise element to your Easter brunch.
And finally...don't stress yourself out trying to be the perfect hostess! Real life can be hectic and messy and we run short on time. Sometimes just a pretty SIMPLE SPRING TABLESCAPE is best. After all, it's family and friends gathered around the table that add to the real spirit of Easter!
Remember to pin it!
