From fresh cut flowers to budding trees and sweet scents in the air, there’s a lot to love about spring, and plenty of occasions for celebrating, even if your normal gatherings are replaced by smaller celebrations at home this spring.

You can serve casual appetizers and a few sweet treats or an elaborate, multi-course meal. However, there’s one thing that you need to complete the gathering. A beautiful tablescape will help set the right mood for your Easter celebration or spring-themed dinner at home. Consider these simple ideas that will keep your family feeling festive, even without a crowd, and they look great for photos to share with family and friends from afar as well!

Classic Candle Table Display

Let’s be frank. Candles are about as basic of a centerpiece as you can get. But it doesn’t mean they have to be boring. Make a candle arrangement fresh for spring by choosing candles of a single color (white is always an elegant pick) in different heights and sizes. Stick with an odd number, such as five or seven candles, and place them together on a simple placemat or tray.

The Sweetest Centerpiece

Create an Easter tablescape that your eyes and taste buds can enjoy by utilizing Easter treats in your centerpiece. You can fill glass vases, jars and dishes with favorite Easter treats, from jellybeans to chocolate eggs. Try putting different colored candies in different Mason jars and sprinkling decorative Easter grass around the grouping. Don’t forget spoons and tongs, so guests can help themselves to a little sweet treat.

Eggs-travagant Centerpieces

What’s more fitting for an Easter brunch than an egg-centric centerpiece. Find a beautiful dish or basket that’s worthy of displaying your hand-crafted Easter eggs, or display some store-bought eggs. There’s no shame in your Easter egg game! Think outside the basket by displaying your Easter eggs on a serving tray or a multi-tiered dessert stand.

You can also get creative by placing an egg with each guest’s name on it in a dish as part of their table setting. Add a single flower next to each egg for an extra bright and personalized setting.

O Easter Tree?

You can make your own Easter “tree” by arranging a few tree branches or sturdy greenery (real or faux) in a vase or jar. Make your own ornaments by stringing Easter eggs from the branches. You can even add some white lights for some extra sparkle, or adorn the tree with some Easter flowers for a colorful display.

Floral Focus

A bouquet of flowers is fitting for any celebration, but perhaps even more so during the spring season that screams rebirth. Wondering which buds to display? Some of the most popular Easter flowers are the namesake Easter lilies, as well as tulips and daisies. However, there’s no strict rules here. A bouquet of yellow and white roses would be sweet and suiting, and carnations, hydrangeas and peonies also make our cut. Fill out your bouquet with lots of greenery for a natural spring look, or display just a few buds for a minimalistic and chic design.

Are you looking for a personal touch? Stick some decorative bunny ears in with your stems to make your guests smile! You can find them at a craft store, or get out the felt and a few pipe cleaners to make your own.

Don’t forget a beautiful vase to enhance your floral display. Glass options can add a bit of sparkle to your room, and they make for an elegant accessory that’s ideal for a fancy celebration. If you want to show off a large bouquet of fresh flowers, choose a vase with a flared top that allows plenty of room for all your stems.

The Extras

We may be focused on Easter tablescapes, but that doesn’t mean the rest of your dining room should be neglected. There are easy ways to spread spring-time design throughout your space, such as switching out your everyday wall art with a spring landscape or fresh floral painting that’s hung above your table or set on top of a shelf or hutch.

You can also repeat elements from your centerpiece on a buffet, island or even countertop to create a balanced look in your room. For instance, group a few of the same candles used in your centerpiece on the bar cart in your living room, or put a smaller tray with a few extra eggs on your console table. Then sit back, and enjoy the spring time festivities in the comfort of your own home.
