I love to add individual floral arrangements to each setting. It is so personal and makes a great parting gift for your guests. This is also a good time to take out all of your springtime knick knacks and scatter them whimsically across the table.
Here is another great table setting idea. Provide each guest with their own chocolate rabbit. I know Martha probably made her own using antique molds, but my name is Laura and I bought mine at the Dollar Store. :)
A few posts ago I showed you how I tied Easter corsages to the backs of my chairs, but I liked this idea of small baskets filled with chocolates.
Do you have an Easter tree? We began the tradition while living in Germany. I have many wonderful eggs that I have collected and made. I love this look of simple branches in a enamel pitcher.
You can also try hanging eggs off of your chandelier.
I will be recreating a similar table for my Easter brunch. We'll be dyeing our eggs on Saturday. When will you do yours?
Since I need eggs for a breakfast casserole, I may carefully crack the shell, wash it out, nestle the shells in our silver napkin rings and add a pink tulip. You could also drill a hole in a plastic egg.
Our lunch will actually be shared with about 500 other people. Our church has a grand picnic every Easter. I like the idea of eating outside. Sort of a loaves and fishes theme.
Yet even paper plates can look special.
This is our Easter table. It is almost finished.
Here is a closeup of the sideboard. The bunnies are by Villeroy and Boch. I purchased them several years ago while living in Germany. They are surrounded by German paper mache eggs and antique postcards. See the cloche I made?

I printed out place cards on the computer. The silver was my great grandmother Lenora's and the crystal belonged to my Grandma Mary.
Here is a closeup my favorite Bunny Boy and Girl. They are from a few seasons ago by Katherine's Collection. They are filled with pillow mints.
The centerpiece is a feather tree by Bethany Lowe that I purchased on Ebay.
We collected the eggs while living overseas. My favorite is the hand painted lavender egg. It's cracked on the bottom, but I don't mind. The bunnies on the tray came from Cost Plus several years ago. Both have had repairs for broken ears.
A hummingbird update can be found one post below.
Have a glorious day!
