Let’s start planning our Easter table now! Easter is only a month away and it’s not too early to start getting our ideas together for a gorgeous Easter table! I like to start to gather all the dishes, utensils, napkins and any other things I’m putting on my Easter table in plastic dishpans! No running around last minute for me! I also like to plan out my Easter centerpiece and any little take-home gifts for family and guests! Today’s post is filled with lots of creative ideas to set the perfect Easter table!
I hope you find this inspirational pictorial of Easter ideas very useful! A great post to pin and use as a reference! I’ve chocked it full of my best Easter ideas all in one place. Lot’s of easy-to-recreate Easter DIYs and tips too!
BUNNIES
It IS Easter, after all! Let the bunnies in your home go a little wild and decorate your table! Adorable!
Pull out your old bunnies and if they look a little out of date paint them! Use chalk paint and dark wax to give them a makeover!
Create a one-of-a-kind Easter basket for each person at your Easter table! I personalized a terracotta pot and filled it with crinkle paper and goodies. Then I topped it off with a handsome Easter bunny! So easy and so so fun! Everyone should have a little chocolate Easter morning!
Embellish your table with things like salt and pepper bunnies or creamer and sugar bowl bunnies!
I’m not a huge fan of tchotchkes, but on this table, things like Easter-bunnies-gone-wild look perfect!
GREAT NAPKINS
Use pretty spring napkins to grace your Easter table! Go light and bright or sassy and bold. Make a statement on your Easter table with great napkins! Use real napkins… it’s such a little thing that make a table feel so special!
Don’t have enough napkins for Easter dinner? No problem!!! Mix and match them! Such a pretty look!
Here’s a fun way to turn an ordinary white napkin into a cute bunny! See the tutorial HERE.
How easy to have a napkin act as a pocket for utensils! Click HERE for an easy tutorial! Another oldie, but goodie!
EASTER EGGS!
Make sure you use your pretty colored eggs as part of your Easter table decor! Don’t forget to add some moss, crinkled paper or even a few flowers in with your eggs! They will be a charming part of your table!
Have you ever make onion skin dyed eggs? They are beautiful and a tradition in my family! You can see a DIY for them HERE.
Color eggs with vegetables and fruits. The colors are so much more interesting than you can get from a box dye! See naturally dyed eggs HERE. This is an old post! The images aren’t great but the content is!
STACK THOSE PRETTY DISHES
I’m obsessed with a small stack of pretty dishes at each place setting! Easter is a time to show off your great dishes in fun combinations! What do you do with all of them when it’s time to eat? Whisk them all off the table and use them to serve. What you don’t use hide away until you can put them away!
Use the napkin trick… if you don’t have enough of the same dishes to go around mix and match them!!!!
Limit the colors on your table. It will look spectacular!!!!
Use little cups as individual centerpieces! How sweet! The cabbage pattern on these cups and saucers lend a spring look to the table.
Use placemats and other fun embellishments, like this faux cabbage leaf to work into a stack of dishes!
GREAT SEASONAL FLOWERS
This is the time of year that makes my heart sing!!!! I adore spring flowers! Use them liberally! I like to use one kind of spring flowers at my table. Don’t forget, potted spring plants look great as a centerpiece too!
Instead of a big floral centerpiece, how about a few pretty little spring flowers in simple glass vases. So easy and sweet. I love grape hyacinths and they are the perfect flower to dot around the table!
Now is a wonderful time to plant little herbs in pots! These would make such a pretty take-away gift for each person you invite to Easter dinner! I painted little terracotta white and planted small fragrant herbs in each. To make the twiggy cage, I found sticks and twigs outside, stuck them into the pot and tied them with twine. Easy-peasy!
Who can resist tulips for Easter! Classic and springlike!
I love long stemmed tulips, but think about cutting them short and grouping them in several glass containers en mass!
TREATS
Make sure the Easter bunny leaves something for everyone at your table! Use fun treats at each place setting to greet family and guests! This is my very favorite thing to do! Just watch how surprised and delighted your guest will be! See examples above!
I hope these ideas have inspired you! Here are a few tables that would work great for Easter…

Remember to pin this to your EASTER or TABLESCAPE Pinterest board. You can follow me and see all the great Easter things I am finding to pin HERE.
After a few years of use my Easter table cloth was stained and no longer usable. The stains were in the white center of the cloth so I cut out dinner napkins from the border and hemmed them by hand. I ended up with enough napkins for the family with assorted prints from the edge of the old cloth. They looked great with a pastel tablecloth and my grandkids loved them when they were small.
So smart Margo!
I love all your decorations whether itās for Easter or any other holiday. Your table is always set so pretty. My question to you is, where do you store all your season items?
Thanks Anna Marie! I have a hall closet we converted to a dish closet. Most of my dishes are stored there.
I am so happy I followed your wonderful site thru Table For One and Welcome Guest who are from my local area. I love setting my Dining Room table and this gives me so many ideas. Thanks so much.
I love Easter. You have inspired me to try new decorating ideas for my table. Love your home and the way you add little touches here and there. Now I need to have tea and crumpets to show off my table, thank you for your wonderful tips.
I love these, wow, sososososo fabulous. Gotta do this. I love it!
Love the bunny napkin. My guests will be seeing this at their seat in a few days. Thanks.
I love all your ideas!! Don’t know which to use. LOL
No Easter dinner here these days, but I love living vicariously through your photos.
I enjoy all of the ideas…but especially the egg cups with the twigs and egg….sitting on the pretty vintage dish! Also…I am using the vintage “orange/copper” Fire King colored dishes with my Noritake china…the Fairview pattern, which has some peach colored flowers. We rarely eat at the dining room table, although I always have it set!! #Ihateanakedtable!
LOVE!
Some great new ideas to try. Lovely table!
Gosh that was FUN…so enjoyed viewing all of your wonderful ideas and beautiful tablescape.
I adore the bunny napkin ring holder as well as the pearls! Great ideas!
Love your linens, especially the green print tablecloth with the green napkins. Would you share the resource for the tablecloth?
So many great ideas but I think my favorite is the individualized herb pots with the little branch cages!
And they were so easy to put together!
I am simply in awe. and i love the chocolate hen. gotta find me some of those. š
Just discovered your blog! So much to catch up on. Lovely ideas!
So happy you found us! Welcome to the StoneGable family, Hope!
Such cute ideas, I so love the color of the onion skin dye eggs. and the terra cotta flower pot as a Easter basket very cute.
I absolutely love all your table setting ideas. Who wouldn’t want to sit down at any of these? I pin all of your table ideas.Thank you so much for the inspiration.
I have always loved the idea of bringing nature into my home for decorating. I will definitely be making the herb pots with twig cages this spring, I can’t wait! Thanks for always sharing such creative and wonderful ideas!
Testing… I tried to post a second comment on today’s post, and it says it’s a duplicate. Can you post more than once on a blog post?
Yes, you can. Wonder why it won’t let me post on the pillows post?
Wonderful ideas for Easter! I love all of the bunnies!
Beautiful ideas! I love the use of the eggs and flowers. Thank you!
Yvonne, thanks for all the wonderful Easter inspired ideas. I look forward everyday to your blog.
I loved seeing all of your Easter table ideas…..so pretty and so creative! I’ve always liked the chocolate bunny & chick as decorations/favors! Blessings…..
Oh so many great and beautiful ideas for Easter. Gotta get planning my Easter Brunch on paper and not in my head !! Hugs, Dorinda
All the ideas are beautiful…but there’s something so special about the flowers. The pansies, daffodils and tulips just make me smile and feel happy.
I love all of your Easter table ideas, especially the cute little bunnies. Can’t wait to do mine.
Pansies say spring to me, esp the old fashion ones with “faces”
I have decided that some of the bloggers I follow either must never ever sleep, or they have a lot of fairies working nights! Either way, very pretty. Wondering about the peachy colored dishes, could only see a little of them, but quite pretty. And the napkins are lovely too. I have those silver bunny napkin rings too, cute at easter or in a garden themed table.
love ,love, love those twig cages on a n herb plant….and the bunnies and eggs….love the spring touches
Love your ideas! All the tablecloths and napkins are beautiful! Where do you find such lovely patterns? And I’ve never seen a chocolate chicken, love it!!!
So many pretty things. I love the twigs in the planter and so much more.
Oh so pretty, love Easter, the bunnies, eggs, flowers and flowers….
So glad today was a dreary drizzly day–has taken me most of the morning to read all the posts, side bars, and listen to the podcast–but I am feeling inspired AND the sun just came out! Thanks!
beautiful
What great ideas. Thank you for the inspiration.
I love the nests that you make and I adore the eggshell planters!! They are sooo adorable! Thank you for sharing them with us!!!
I am so glad you showed the onion dyed eggs. We are carrying on that same tradition as well which has been passed down from my Hungarian grandmother. Each egg is different and they look beautiful in a raffia filled basket. Thanks again. I believe it is so important to carry on the traditions of the older generation and to share them with the ones coming up
My family ties are Hungarian too!
Love all of these beautiful table settings, the colors are beautiful, terra cotta pot baskets are such a good idea. Really enjoy your posts and try to let you know everyday, but the problem I encounter is halfway down the page it reloads and reloads, so getting to the comments is nearly impossible.?
Pat
Love all the rabbits !
I love your ideas! Simple and elegant.
Lovely… I don’t have a dining area in my Wee Abode. Setting up a table in the living area is what I have to do when I have guests over (only 2-4 at a time!). However, I can definitely be inspired by these ideas and incorporate them in other areas of my little place, such as the counter top of my baker’s cabinet (hoosier). š Thank you, Yvonne!
Lovely ideas as always~ Thanks for the inspiration.
Brilliant Easter ideas!
Your ideas make me want to go dig out my Easter tub of bunnies and other spring goodies!
Thanks for sharing and inspiring us!
Just beautiful!!! Thank you for all the great ideas for Easter!
What a beautiful ideas and the thank you for the tutorial how to fold napkins.
Everything is so beautiful and I love the spring flowers and decorating. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Love the ideas! Beautiful table as always!
Beautiful ideas as always. So talented!
Love it all!!!!!!!!
Would you give directions for “aging” bunnies with chalk paint and dark wax?
Many thanks!
So simple. Paint whatever you want with chalk paint. I recommend One Step by Amy Howard. YOu can get it at any Ace Hardware. When 2 coats are completely dry mix a little Amy Howard clear wax with antique wax and rub it on the object. Buff off with a soft white rag. That’s it!
Everything is lovely.I just put some Easter decorations out and
painted a pink rabbit cream to go with my neutral scheme.Love
repurposing items.
Such adorable ideas.
Beautiful and fun ideas!
I loved this post, so many cute ideas for a beautiful table!
I love it all. I was wondering, do you do all your own photography too? The photos are always very well done! Happy Easter and thank you for all the wonderful ideas and beautiful images. ~Michelle
Love each and every one! Could you give the link to the one with grape hyacinths?
Oh Goodness! Where to begin? So many wonderful ideas! Thank you ?
Such creative ideas. I love everything, but the bumblebee flatware really caught my eye. My daughter is a spelling bee champion and has even attended the Scripps National Spelling Bee! We love to subtly incorporate bees throughout our home and these are perfect! Would you please tell me where you found the flatware?
Thank you and have a wonderful day:)
Hi MommaD! Congratulations to your daughter! You can find the flatware HERE: http://rstyle.me/~9KUMP
Wonderful ideas . I made the bunny napkins last Easter and they were a hit.
Would you give the directions for using chalk paint and dark wax to “age” the bunny?
Many thanks!
HI Karen, see the comment above.
I read all the comments but didn’t see anything about the chalk paint & dark wax aging directions. If it’s not too much trouble would you post the how to? Love EVERYTHING you do!!
Everything is so lovely, great ideas. I’ll be using several of these ideas for my table, love the idea of decorating the teacups.
