Celebrating Easter: A Guide to Crafting the Perfect Tablescape
Easter is coming a little earlier this year, so now is the perfect time for all you budding hosts to start planning if you haven’t already. Whether you want to push the boat out with a big feast for all the family to get together, or prefer a smaller, cosier affair, read ahead to find some inspiration for how to create a fresh, bright, and colourful dining table that’s sure to make an impressive feature.
Before we begin with dressing the table, it’s important to consider the first impression that will greet your guests. Our rustic Easter wreath is the perfect decoration to display in pride of place on your front door for a welcoming look. It’s even multi-purpose too, as you can position it as a table centrepiece wreath – we love a versatile piece!
Once your guests are settled inside, be sure that your dining table has the wow-factor to get conversation stirring. If you’ve been thinking about redecorating for spring, you can even go all out with some brand-new dining furniture. Our beautiful collection of tables and chairs are just the thing to refresh your dining area.
Understandably, a completely new look is not for everyone, so if you don’t want to go as far as that, we recommend investing in some lovely new table linen that will do a fantastic job revitalising your current furniture. We have everything from table runners and dining chair seat pads to napkins and placemats in so many beautiful pastel colours, floral and striped prints that are perfect for spring. Mix up the designs for a more eclectic effect or match the pieces together for a cohesive theme.
Once you’ve got your look sorted, it’s time to choose a complementing centrepiece for a finishing touch that will tie everything together. For those who are hosting children and so eating a little earlier, complement the sunny springtime weather with a vase of seasonal flowers. Our colourful and traditional jug vases are sure to set off a bouquet of tabletop daffodils, tulips, or daises to their best effect. If you like to dine later, set the scene with a decorative Easter candle holder to create an ambient atmosphere while still staying on theme.
As with any other holiday, Easter gives you the chance to celebrate the season with little decorative accessories that are sure to raise a smile. To bring joy to younger family members, our wicker rabbit hanging decoration is wonderfully cute whilst still retaining a rustic and tasteful aesthetic. If bold colours and childlike designs aren’t to your taste, our stylish hanging Easter egg baubles boast muted colours and natural motifs so you can still decorate for Easter without disrupting your home décor.
When it comes to table scaping, apart from the meal you’re preparing, the most important aspect is undoubtedly how you’re going to serve it. Our Bella Perle glass tableware is a firm favourite with our customers, and it’s not hard to see why. The simple, clear glassware boasts elegant, yet subtle beaded detail to complement any chosen table linen and colour scheme.
Introduce a pop of colour with our collection of embossed glassware, offering mix and match options so you can create tailor-made table settings with ease. The jewel-bright tones simply ooze springtime character and are sure to make your guests simply envious of your good taste. Go traditional with roast lamb or try something a little different this Easter but just remember to save room for plenty of Easter eggs!
