Hosting a meal for Easter this year? We’ve been seeing amazing new table scape trends that we’re dying to try out ourselves. The best part? They’re easy to put together, use up things you probably have lying around the house, or can easily find at your local thrift store.
Blow your guests away at Easter this year with our top Easter 5 table scape ideas.
Easter table scape ideas
1. Florals are in
Pick some wildflowers (cosmos is currently blooming) and pair them with greens, whites, and other pastel colours to create a floral Easter table. Pop in a few candied eggs and ceramic bunnies, and you’ve got something super quaint and unique.
2. Ground the meal with earthy tones
If you love boho-chic, this trend might just have been made for you. Adorn your table with earthy-tone table cloths, plate mats, and serviettes. Pair with indigenous autumn bouquets in clay pots to add warmth and height to the table. Finish off with tall, slender brown candles to add variation and a cosy feel.
3. Vegetables are the new table trinkets
This has been a trend that’s slowly built up a strong following over the years. Using actual vegetables to decorate the table? We think it’s the perfect (and most cost effective) way to get your guests salivating and intrigued. Get right into the Easter spirit and lay some baby carrots out, and use green leafy salad leaves as candle holders, or flowering nasturtiums for a pop of colour and peppery spice!
4. Keep it simple, keep it family-oriented
Easter in South Africa is all about gathering with loved ones and celebrating together. Not to mention sharing all the food. Keep your table simple with the bare minimum: enough plates, cutlery, and napkins for your guests – letting the abundance of food shine. Make sharing platters to force your guests to dish up for everyone and pass the food around the table.
5. Unique gifts for each guest
Get your creative juices flowing and use what you have (or can easily get second-hand) to make unique little gifts for each guest. Use napkins to fold cute bunny shapes around candy eggs, or use straw to make small nests with candied eggs inside. Whatever you come up with, being welcomed with a little treat before the meal will make your guests feel welcome and appreciated – the perfect mood to set up for Easter celebrations.
