As Easter approaches, Cape Codder’s are getting ready to celebrate the holiday with their loved ones. One of the best ways to make the celebration more special is by setting up an Easter table that is both simple and elegant. In today’s blog, we’re sharing some tips and ideas for creating a beautiful Easter table for your guests.
Simple Cape Cod Easter Table Decor Ideas
Sometimes, less is more when it comes to Easter table decor. Here are some simple yet effectives ideas to create a beautiful table:
- Use Pastel Colors- Easter is all about pastel colors, so use them liberally on your table. Think baby blue, soft pink, pale yellow and mint green. You can use these colors for your tablecloth, napkins, place cards and even your centerpieces.
- Add Fresh Flowers- Nothing says spring like fresh flowers. You can use a simple bouquet or a mix of different flowers to create a beautiful centerpiece. We love Trader Joe’s for an affordable look with tulips, daffodils, or lilies.
- Use Natural Elements- moss, twigs, or eggs can add a rustic touch to your table.
- Create a DIY Easter Basket- Instead of traditional place cards, or for a fun touch at a kid’s table, you can create miniature Easter baskets for each guest; you can fill them with candy, small toys, or other treats. This will add a fun and playful element to your table.
- Incorporate Personal Touches- family photos or heirlooms can make your table feel even more special. Don’t forget to bring out your grandmother’s china or vintage tablecloth to make your Easter even more memorable.
Elegant Easter Table Decor Ideas
If you prefer a more sophisticated and elegant look, here are some ideas to create a stunning Easter tablescape:
- Use Metallic Accents- think gold or silver chargers, napkin rings or flatware.
- Add Crystal or Glassware- add a crystal vase for your centerpiece or switch out your regular glasses for crystal ones to create a touch of luxury or sophistication
- Use Linen Napkins- swap out the paper for the linen napkins, we love a blue or pink checkerboard napkin!
- Use Candles- candles can add a touch of warmth and ambiance to your table.
- Add Height- Adding height can be as simple as a tall vase for your centerpiece or adding a cake stand to display desserts or appetizers. Together, this will create dimension and elegance to your table decor.
