How to Set an Easter Table
Decorating for Easter is a time to get creative and have fun with the process. I don’t decorate my house for the holiday, but I do decorate my dining table in a different way each year for my family’s Easter brunch. Setting a dinner table may seem like a chore, but I truly enjoy playing around with the plates, platters, utensils, napkins, candles, and more that I already own to come up with new ways and combinations to use them to create new looks when setting a special occasion table.
My personal style for all the table settings I create is casual, and this year is no different for Easter. I like to make sure what I come up with is colorful and fun for kids of all ages by adding at least one fun element and one pretty element so the table is appealing for everyone. This year, I made bunny goodie bags for the fun element and an easy no-fuss table centerpiece using faux flowers in a totally new way I hadn’t considered ever doing before.
Layering Plates at Each Place Setting
To make a place setting look more interesting, I think layering the plates you will need to place food on is key. I like to use a placemat, plate charger, and a small and larger plate for each person.
- Placemat: A placemat is a great way to add a pop of color to your table setting. Choose a placemat that matches your color scheme and is easy to clean.
- Plate Charger: A plate charger is not necessary, but it does add another layer of interest to your table setting. Choose a plate charger that complements your plates and adds to the overall look of your table.
- Small Plate: A small plate is perfect for serving appetizers, sides, or desserts. Choose a small plate that matches your color scheme and is easy to clean.
- Large Plate: A large plate is perfect for serving the main course. Choose a large plate that matches your color scheme and is easy to clean.
Creating a No-Fuss Spring Dining Table Centerpiece
When trying to decide what to use as a centerpiece for the Easter table, I knew I didn’t want it to be a tall vase of flowers. I also wanted to keep it simple. I like the centerpiece so much that I am going to keep it on my dining table all spring long… and perhaps even into the summer.
To create a no-fuss table centerpiece, I used faux flowers in a totally new way I hadn’t considered ever doing before. I simply placed the flowers in a decorative vase and added a few greenery sprigs to fill out the arrangement.
