Easter has such a special place in my heart. It has a religious meaning for me, and is also metaphorically a symbol of new life and new opportunities! Bunnies, chicks, eggs, and blossoms are the ways we see new life in nature this time of year, and it just so happens that they bring smiles to the faces of children and adults! So this year, when I decided to decorate my home for the Easter holiday, I was on a mission to incorporate all of the things that make me happy!! I took lots of photos and below are some of my tips on how to elevate your Easter table to a whole new level. 

For me, it's all about the way you feel when you enter the room! I wanted it to feel light and airy; so I used a linen cloth as my base on the table.  

The rest of my inspiration began with the place settings and napkins. The light green embroidery really spoke to me, and I came up with the theme of an “Indoor Garden Party.”  

To anchor the table, I called my favorite flower shop, Matlack Florist, and asked them to create a garden arrangement with white, yellow and fresh greens. I LOVE the olive branches they incorporated, because it also brought in spiritual meaning for me.  

There can’t be Easter without the Easter Bunny! This one came with his brothers and sisters!! I placed four of these cute ceramic figurines around my arrangement to add some fun and whimsy to the table.  

I also included Valerie Parr Hill’s mercury glass birds with glass eggs on the table.  These fun vignettes add to the lightheartedness I want to create in my holiday gathering.  

For the “drama” I used two sets of her Mercury Glass Pedestals. Their varying heights brought a whole new level of depth and dimension to the table.  

I offset them to “fill the space” and make a more grand gesture! 

I hope you like the final look!! 

For my sideboard, I laid out the pedestal servers from Valerie, so I know where I’ll be placing the desserts! 

Did you notice those lemons in the flower arrangement? They sure do add color to that arrangement! 

And it wouldn’t be an Easter celebration without colored eggs! These look so real, and I didn’t have to decorate them! 

Now that my table is set, all I have to do is worry about the menu!! I’d love to hear your suggestions!!

Keep up with me on my Facebook Page.
