Natural Table Setting

This arrangement turns the table on the idea of ferns as filler foliage. Instead, the mass of fronds is the main event, with only a few tulips poking out. The fronds also lend their silhouettes to a DIY runner (made with stencils and fabric paint in a few shades of green) and stamped cards on leather napkin ties.

Ombre Easter Brunch

When the holiday is later in the spring, it can coincide with the first blooms of hydrangeas, which make a show-stopping Easter centerpiece either on their own or paired with other spring flowers.

Marbleized Pots with Daffodils

flower pots

An easy spray-paint technique transforms basic terra-cotta pots ($2, Walmart) into Easter table decorations worthy of your best crop of daffodils. The dry paint can still smell strongly for a few days, so we recommend doing this Easter craft at least a week in advance.

Spring Green Easter Table Setting

Easter table

Give your Easter soiree a healthy dose of spring fever with season-appropriate colors and motifs. Combine vibrant greens and clean whites with the beige-browns found in light-tone woods and leather. Fern-motif stamps make it easy to add a detailed frond to tags and napkins; a gathering of pretty posies under a glass cloche makes an easy Easter centerpiece.

Paper Strip Nest Place Setting

Monogrammed Easter Eggs

Create a homemade Easter centerpiece idea with a simple paper-strip nest. Take a myriad of colored scrapbooking papers and shred them into tiny strips (a paper shredder works best). Form the paper strips into a ball large enough to fit an egg. Place a decorated Easter egg in the center of each ball, forming the strips into a nest around the egg. Let each guest know where they're sitting with a pretty monogram sticker.

Fill the glass with water and arrange flowers (we used roses, gerbera daisies, tulips, hyacinth, and bells of Ireland).

Red-and-Blue Easter Table Setting

Red-and-blue Easter table setting

This red-and-blue color combo works well for an Easter table when a red-dyed egg and tulip are placed at each table setting. A solid blue plate between two patterned red plates makes the setting pop. If you like, switch out the place card with a monogrammed hard-boiled egg to make the table even more festive.

Editor's Tip: To dye your Easter eggs a bright shade of red, use a few ingredients to make your own natural dye. Roughly chop a few beets (about 3/4 pound) and combine them with a quart of water, a tablespoon of vinegar, and a tablespoon of salt in a saucepan. Bring the ingredients to a boil; cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain and reserve the liquid for your dye.

Mini Bouquet Napkin Rings
