Pink-and-Green Easter Table Setting

    This fun pink-and-green table setting just looks like spring. Pretty floral dishes are cute and whimsical on a patterned tablecloth, while light green vases, a pink drink, and a tiny flirty umbrella add charm within the color scheme.

Monogrammed Treat Bag

    A simple pink bag is wrapped with green ribbon and labeled with a monogrammed tag. Use these bags as creative place cards or as tasty party favors. Fill bags with sweet Easter treats such as chocolate candies, jelly beans, or anything else festive.

3/24
Blue-and-Pink Easter Table Setting

    A blue-and-pink color scheme comes into play with this Easter table setting. A blue ribbon with a "Happy Spring" tag ties up the napkin, while a stamped piece of pink cardstock adds a formal touch. Easter-appropriate salt and pepper shakers make an appearance while a hard-boiled egg serves as a monogrammed place card.

4/24
White-and-Yellow Floral Centerpieces

    Decorative take-out boxes (available at craft stores) serve as the bases of these floral spring decorations. Yellow tulips and simple white flowers come together in the easy-yet-elegant Easter display.

5/24
Purple-and-Pink Easter Table Setting

    Purple, sliver, and pink colors come together to create this Easter table setting. A green pitcher serves as a perfect vase while simple touches such as ornate silverware, a silver pail, and a miniature watering can complete the spring look.

6/24
Butterfly Napkin Accent

    Any cute brooch or pin will do for this tiny but precious napkin decoration. If it fits your color scheme and reminds you of spring, place it on a napkin for a simple-yet-impactful Easter decoration.

7/24
Silver Easter Basket Centerpiece

    All it takes is some silver spray paint, colorful Easter grass, and a few dyed eggs to make this elegant and easy Easter basket centerpiece. Experiment with different metallic and pastel colors to create a color combo that complements your table setting.

8/24
White Easter Table Setting

    A white-on-white Easter table setting is a simple and elegant way to decorate for a spring get-together. A couple dozen hard-boiled eggs and white tulips -- along with some clear glassware and simple white dishes -- are all it takes to get the look.

9/24
Simple Egg and Tulip Centerpiece

    This Easter centerpiece is simple, yet elegant. To assemble, place hard-boiled eggs inside a clear glass bowl, add a few inches of water, and then arrange tulips. Experiment with different colors of tulips and dyed eggs to make a centerpiece that's perfect for your home and color scheme.

10/24
White Egg and Napkin Place Card

    Use a black or colored marker to mark the spot on an egg for your guests. Fold up a napkin and tuck the egg inside for a playful presentation.

    Editor's Tips:
    -- Want something a little sweeter? Then use plastic eggs or foil-covered chocolate ones, writing on them or tucking a small name card behind the treat.
    -- To make the egg pop even more, dye it or use a colorful napkin.

11/24
Green-and-Purple Easter Table Setting

    With the sun shining through the windows and a festive table setting, this Easter table looks inviting. Vegetables, flowers, rabbits, and pastel colors all have a place on this creative table. In the next few slides we?ll show you how to mimic the decorations.

12/24
Easter Chair Candy Baskets

    Fill tiny wire baskets with sphagnum moss or Easter grass, then add a handful of foil-wrapped candies. Tie on a big bow made from silk wire-edge ribbon, and attach a basket to each chair back with twine, tying it tight so the baskets don't sag.

13/24
Easter Table Runner

    A runner of raspberry silk is a fresh accent that helps highlight the white rabbit vases and purple flower arrangements on this Easter table.

14/24
Radish Napkin Accent

    Embellish white napkins with a beautiful fresh vegetable -- such as a radish or a carrot -- then tie it in place with twine or raffia.

    Editor's Tips:
    -- Use a hole-punch and a small piece of cardstock for a quick and easy place card (tie it all together with twine).
    -- Use different colors of cardstock and cut into an egg shape for even more of an Easter touch.

15/24
Easter Rabbit Centerpiece

    This rabbit vase is a perfect piece to celebrate Easter. Fill it with fresh flowers or, for an easier decoration, use potted flowering plants.

    Editor's Tip: In lieu of a rabbit vase, use other vintage Easter finds or colorful spring vases.

16/24
Egg and Lettuce Easter Centerpiece

    Grace your Easter table with this pretty-yet-simple centerpiece. To make, place brown and white hard-boiled eggs on top of lettuce or cabbage leaves inside a footed china compote. Vary the look by using decorated eggs and other greenery -- or even foil-covered chocolate eggs.

17/24
Vegetable and Tea Time Decorations

    Called into action from the potting shed, an inexpensive terra-cotta saucer serves as a whimsical coffee- and tea-service tray. Fresh garden vegetables fill the lower tiers of a wire basket, while flowers nestled in a bed of lettuce top it off with a joyous finale. To assemble, wrap the flower stems loosely with a rubber band, and tuck the bouquet into a small canning jar filled with water before hiding it inside the lettuce leaves. Soak the vegetables in a chilly bath, then blot dry and arrange just before the first guest arrives.

18/24
Pink-and-Yellow Table Setting

    This springtime table is covered in fresh white linen with individual floral arrangements at each place setting, as well as a large arrangement of fresh flowers as a beautiful Easter centerpiece.

19/24
Pink-and-Yellow Floral Place Setting

    A beautiful mini-rose display graces each place setting at this table, as well as whimsical porcelain rabbits. Search your home for tiny and unique Easter trinkets to adorn your spring table. Different-patterned dishes are stacked to add even more creativity to the setting.

    Editor's Tip: Lean a simple place card made out of cardstock up against each rabbit or Easter trinket to mark guests' spots.

20/24
Large Easter Flower Centerpiece

    For a large floral centerpiece, carefully crumple chicken wire into a loose ball, fit it inside a vase, and poke the flowers, stem by stem, through the wire. For maximum impact and the most natural look, gather the blooms into clusters of like flowers. Search around for creative Easter containers to house your flower creations

    Though the flowers in this stunning centerpiece, including hydrangea, larkspur, roses, and sword ferns, come from a florist, you could substitute garden flowers or blossoms from flowering shrubs.

21/24
Easter Side Table with Topiaries

    This decorated side table displays coffee and tea service on a silver tray, with a bouquet similar to those at the individual place settings to tie in the look with the dinner table. Tall, green topiaries give a fresh spring flair.

22/24
Green Spring Topiaries

    These tall topiaries can be made with 15-inch foam cones potted in a pair of footed soup tureens. To assemble, place a piece of foam in the bottom of each tureen to elevate the cone to the lip, then pin or hot-glue the cone onto the foam base. Next, use long T-shape pins to attach Brussels sprouts to the foam; pin the sprouts as close together as possible, beginning at the bottom and working up. Fill in any open areas with sphagnum moss and tuck, glue, or pin more moss to the bottom edge of each cone. The topiaries will last, unrefrigerated, from several days to a week.
