An Easy Easter Tablescape
We’re less than a week away from Easter and we’re all making plans at home now! Hosting Easter for friends and family is my very favorite holiday we host. At our home, it is generally casual and full of fun, with a ton food, flowers and my very fave… a 1,000 egg hunt for all the kids!
We’ve put together the elements of an Easter brunch tablescape for you and your family since you will likely be hosting this year now too! You more than likely have most of the items around the house or you can Amazon (yes, this is a verb now) a few pieces before Sunday. Keep it simple and pretty and your day will surely be bright and '“hoppy”! ;)
When planning for your easy Easter tablescape, keep in mind that it doesn’t have to scream Easter. In our example, we don’t feature any of your typical Easter icons. But at first glance, this color palette screams spring and warm weather and certainly foreshadows a festive brunch!

RUNNER OR LINEN
We added some gorgeous neutral texture with a macrame runner. If you’re looking to cover the entire table, try using a white or cream linen tablecloth. Keeping it neutral down the center of the table, or by covering the entire table with a neutral tablecloth will create the base for everything else and won’t compete with the florals, dishes, and food.
NEUTRAL PLATES
Keep your plates a neutral color and play a little bit more with the napkins, silverware and drinkware. Stack the salad plate on top of the dinner plate to add a practical layer.
FLATWARE
Avoid the typical silver flatware and opt for black, gunmetal, copper or gold. These metals will give your place settings a little something extra.
NAPKINS
The napkins are where you can have a little bit more fun with colors or patterns! Again, keep it simple with a thin stripe pattern or a frayed edge. We folded a colored napkin underneath a white napkin to still keep it simple, but add a colorful pop that really tied in with the florals. This color and napkin fold technique just really reminded us of bunny ears too!
DRINKWARE
Our top tip for choosing glassware is to make sure there is detail or texture! Glassware with a beautiful textured design, like hobnail, or a gold rim, like the champagne glasses pictured, is another very simple way to break up the monotony of a neutral palette.
VASES, CANDLES AND DECOR
We love adding taller candlesticks to give some height to the table. Spacing these out in between bud vases with florals can help minimize the amount of florals you will need. Sprinkle in some smaller, lower votives for some lower lighting.
FLORALS
Stray from the large, overbearing floral arrangement and stick to using smaller vases or pots. On this tablescape, we scattered several unique, textured pots and vases throughout the table with lots of greens, succulents and pops of pink and red flowers. If you have several bud vases, you could even just sprinkle those throughout the center of the table with single stems in them. If you don’t have bud vases, simply grab some cups or other drinkware that can double as small vases. And DON’T FORGET about your backyard when you are looking for fresh greens and florals for your table. Take trimmings from trees and bushes to fill your vases.
We hope these tips helped you plan for your Easter table! Enjoy your holiday with your family at home and remember it TRULY doesn’t matter what your table looks like… some thought and flowers are always a nice touch, but the opportunity and privilege to just sit down with family and eat together is such a blessing and one we are especially thankful for!
