Setting Easter table Apr 02

How can I set the table with the same crockery, glasses and cutlery in a different way? How many times did you make yourself this question? No problem. We can help you with simple and cheap ideas, for example with this Easter table.

For this occasion (but the idea is good for every spring occasion), we realized a little flowered garden. The centrepiece is made with little vases of fresh spring flowers and painted hard-boiled eggs that remembers to us the nets of the birds. You can arrange some other eggs on the table. Besides you can plant in the garden all the little plants you’ve used for the following year.

We rolled up some fresh flowers with the same colors of cutlery inside the napkins. Every guest will be able to take away them as a pleasing gift. You will be able to choose the colors of the flowers according to what you have got. You can also use cloth tablemats with predominant color.

The Easter tree Apr 02

You will need:

* The artificial pine you usually use at Christmas
* Silk little flowers of different colours, typical in spring
* Some little animals of different colours

We had this idea when Christmas ended and we were disassembling our Christmas tree.
“What a pity! - we said - we use it only once a year! This tree, well decorated, gives our house so beautiful”. And so we thought to decorate it at Easter too! Generally we don’t think of decorating a pine at Easter but pines bud in spring and give shelter to birds and their nests.
And so … this is our new Easter tree! It’s nice, isn’t it?

This Easter tree is easy-to-do. Buy the flowers and animals combining the colours very well. Look at the photo and its enlargement for more details.
Have a happy Easter!
