Each year I browse through pages and pages of Easter tablescapes and sigh wistfully. I envision a table laden with antique dishes and dressed in fine linens. Then, I look around my house, realize I have kids and pets, and receive a firm dose of reality. This year, I decided my Easter tablescape didn’t have to be boring. I found a set of cute mismatched at World Market and an idea was born. I could have a lovely, kid friendly tablescape. I snatched up the plates, along with a set of matching egg holders. I had the basics for my project but had to sit down and think of the direction I wanted to go.
I debated between a white tablecloth or a printed one because both had their drawbacks. The plates seemed to fade into the background on both settings, not allowing them to have the focal point they deserved. I solved the problem by using the white tablecloth with colored paper flowers placed under the plates, with a cute printed bedsheet for a table runner. I knew the kids would not eat plain boiled eggs, so instead I added a small amount of purple Easter grass and a mini Lindt chocolate bunny. Cute bunny napkin holders completed each setting.
I needed centerpieces to match with my kid friendly theme. I found some jonquils and daffodils growing in my in-law’s field and decided they looked like spring. I arranged the flowers in a stemless wine glass and placed a bunny around the glass. He looks like he is peeking out of the flowers at the Peeps I added to wine glasses. I did have to use some clear tape to hold him in place. I made smaller candy flower vases for either side of the bunny. I started with a small flowerpot and a piece of floral foam. I topped the foam with Easter grass and purple confetti. Using Easter Tootsie Pops, I slid a spring themed mini cupcake liner around the base of each and taped it into place. I arranged five pops into each mini flower vase for an edible centerpiece. The kids did know not to touch these until brunch was over!
Of course, no good brunch would be complete without food. We made Honey Cupcakes that received rave reviews. I served them on a pedestal that matched one of the plates for the perfect finishing touch. For the family members with Celiac I served Gluten free scones with lemon curd, while the rest of us dined on carrot spice scones. Add in a few extras, like a breakfast casserole and we had a menu sure to please the entire family.
We had a wonderful brunch with no table worries. The cat did have a few ideas for knocking the flower vase over but he was sent to time out before much damage was done. My Easter entertaining was made simple this year, while still setting a beautiful table.
What are some of your favorite tablescape ideas?
Now those are a cute setup! Lovely!
Awesome! Perfect for a Sunday Playdate. Kids would love this.
Your table seeing came out so nice! We don’t get many kids over for Easter but maybe my cousin should do a setup like this at her house!
I am loving your table setting. It is so pretty!
This looks amazing!!! We normally only have the grandparents over to eat but nothing as nice as what your centerpiece!
Oh I love the bunny centerpiece and the bunny in the egg holder idea. Definitely going to replicate that!
This looks very cute! I love the dishes and flowers!
How cute! I love the vintage look.
This is so cute! I love the daffodils. They definitely scream “spring”!
There are so many cute ideas here for people who celebrate the Easter bunny. The tabletops look so cute.
I love the honey bee cupcakes and the lollipop flowers. Both are absolutely adorable!
What a fun festive table! I especially love the Buttercups, which scream Spring!
Ahh such cute ideas! I really think I’m going to make those bee cupcakes 🙂
Such cute ideas! I really love the bunny with the vase, I can see that on our table. My daughter would love it! Or if you have a big group in for Easter, you could give it away to someone as an Easter present to take home with them after dinner.
This seriously is such an adorable tablescape!
I love everything about this! The decorations are absolutely adorable 🙂
Those plates are so cute. You are great at decorating. This is the first year we are not doing an Easter dinner and I am quite disappointed. With our recent move things are just not back to normal yet.
I love this. What a great tablescape! Love the napkin ring and the chocolate bunnies in the cups! Thanks for sharing these great ideas.
How adorable! I love the plates and the chocolate bunnies in the cups! Great job!

Super cute tablescape… love the bunnies on the plates, they are adorable and your napkin rings.. LOVE them.. you did a great job, I love World Market and do a lot of my decor shopping there, too.. and BTW can I come over to your Easter Brunch??
Love The Whole Table Setting Great Ideas!!
I love the cute stuff at World Market. I could buy everything!!
Awww what adorable ideas, I just love all the little details! The little bunny napkin rings are absolutely adorable. I have to admit, I’m not very good at the whole tablescape thing, that’s why I love seeing your fun ideas 😉
I love the dishes. And the honey cupcakes probably tasted as sweet as they look!
Love those honey cupcakes! Were those disposable holders or something they were in?
Yes, they were disposable holders that came with the kit. 🙂
That is a beautiful tablescape. Easy too do too – thanks!
I desperately want those little bunny cups that you put the chocolate bunnies into. They are awesome!
It is all so beautiful!! Makes me excited for spring and Easter! I want to come to your house! lol
Feel free to come over, Jennifer! You can have scones with us. 🙂
I love every single thing about this post! Those decorations are amazing!
I’ve never made an Easter tablescape before, but you’re inspiring me. I love all your special touches and how genius is using a sheet as a table runner?!
What a really great Easter setting! I think everything looks really cute. 🙂
How cute I have to admit I don’t decorate for Easter but i want to start.
What a beautiful table! You are inspiring me to put some thought into our easter table this year. I am trying not to be last minute as usual.
So fun and so cheerful! The very reason why I love this time of year. So much beauty
Ahhhh…wouldn’t I love to win a year supply of chocolate and this lovely gift card! I have yet to check out World Market but they look pretty awesome!
I love the chocolate bunnies in the egg cups. One of my favorite Easter decorations is to scatter jelly beans on the table.
I need the recipe for gluten free scones with honey curd. The table looks so festive. We’re having easter dinner with at my moms and you’ve just helped me decide that I will set the scene. I was divorced from the whole idea, because I sometimes don’t like to be in the midst of a full group of people, but now I am completely invested. I will take pictures of the table setting so I can post!
LOVE the plates those are so cute, what a nice table setting.
This is adorable. Last year I did a really fancy Easter table setting and this year I was thinking of doing something a little more fun. I’ll have to use some of your examples as inspiration – Katy
This is adorable! I love the daffodils in the center.
I love the small plates with rabbits on them… they are adorable! My niece would love those Tootsie Pop flowers, but she would have a hard time not eating them until after the brunch!
very cute! i love the lollipop cupcake wrapper flowers!
Beautiful place setting. Our Easter dinner consists of whatever is on the menu at Texas Roadhouse!
So sweet! I love this charming setup! Those bunny napkin holders are super cute, will have to look for them on my next outing to World Market. They always have the best stuff!
What a very pretty table setting! I especially like the Easter Tootsie Pops idea.
I love how pretty this is and that the table is packed with so many treats! Those little bunny plates are super cute. I also love those cupcakes and have to find the supplies to do those since I know that my son would really love them.
I just love daffodils and those honey cupcakes sound and look delicious!!
Those are all such cute ideas. I Have an easter tree (a white tree with eggs as leaves) that my mom gave me & that has always been my centerpiece.
