This year our Easter table took inspiration from the garden, particularly beautiful spring flowers in shades of pink with touches of green.
We were also inspired by bunnies (which led to a second tablescape that will be featured in another post). Granted, they can wreak havoc on a garden, but they are so adorable that we just couldn’t leave them out of the fun!

Table Foundation
To get things started, we placed a light colored linen runner down the center of the table. Then opted for a mix of plate chargers: three burlap, three woven, and atop each of those, an antiqued white charger.




Place Settings
For the place settings, it was time to dig through our stash of vintage China.

I think we used something from almost every collection, which was really fun.

And we mixed those up, too. Half included one of our daily white dinner plates with a basketweave border. To those we added salad and dessert plates from Noritake in the Goldtonia pattern.

For the other half, we used a Goldtonia dinner plate layered with a salad plate in the Pompadour (Yellow Scrolls) pattern from Theodore Haviland. It was topped with a small Bavarian dessert bowl (by Hutschenreuther in the Sylvia pattern with floral groups).
Underneath each dinner plate is a white cotton napkin with a small rose cross stitched in the corner. (Hubby got those for me on a visit to Hong Kong about 35 years ago.) Similar versions are included above.

Heirloom silver flatware flanks each place setting. For the glassware, it’s a combination of vintage Fostoria in Versailles Green and newer hobnail goblets by Martha Stewart (that I love!).
Centerpiece

For the centerpiece, we crammed a white porcelain tea pot with beautiful spring flowers (faux, since we want this to last for a little while). Pink delphinium, tulips, and peonies are accented with cream colored lilac stems and cottage roses. If those flowers were real, it would smell heavenly!
After propping the tea pot arrangement on a wood cake stand, faux greenery was tucked around it to give it a lush, soft appearance. (I used greenery from Dollar Tree that is labeled as boxwood, but it looks more like eucalyptus.)
Decorative Accents

Then some pastel Easter eggs and flocked bunnies were added for a bit of color and interest. The bunnies came from Dollar Tree for just a few dollars each, but lots of places carry them. And they are so cute!

For the final touch, bouillon bowls from the same Noritake Goldtonia collection were filled with Easter grass and a few more eggs. I love getting to use China as decor, and these were perfect.
It’s always a joy to create a holiday tablescape, and there’s something uniquely joyful about doing so for Easter.
Whatever your plans are, I hope you have a chance to celebrate the joy of Easter in your home!
