As you prepare to host the ultimate Easter dinner, picking the perfect springtime table decorations is at the top of the list. There are endless possibilities to wow your family and friends with a dreamy tablescape, so whether you’re thinking of showcasing a floral centerpiece or decoupage eggs, Easter dinner is the perfect time to pick a theme or decoration that will take the cake!
To help you kickstart the creative process, FTD has compiled some of their favorite Easter table decorating ideas that are easy for you to recreate.
Egg-themed Decorations
Easter eggs are a classic for this springtime holiday. Whether you’re using the eggs as place settings, centerpieces, or even as holders for tea lights or succulents, you’re sure to find the perfect table decoration for any vibe. Put your creative twist on the classic Easter egg with these egg-themed tabletop decorating ideas!
1. Eggshell Place Setting
Create eggshell place settings by planting alfalfa seeds in eggshells broken in half. Let them sit in the sunlight for a few days and your seeds will sprout in no time.
If you want to give your eggshell place settings an extra wow factor, nestle them in cute egg holders and accent them with mini quail eggs, but don’t forget to boil them first!
2. Eggshell Tealight Candles
Eggshell tealight candles are a perfect accessory piece for your dinner table. Set the mood for your table by putting tealights in dyed broken eggshells and placing them in egg holders or an egg carton!
Bonus: this is a perfect way to use any dyed Easter eggs that were broken by little ones in their creative process.
3. Watercolor Easter Egg Centerpiece
This is an excellent craft for kiddos by letting them decorate the Easter eggs in different watercolors of their choosing. Once the kids are on to their next activity, create a “nest” for the Easter eggs with wood shavings on a decorative platter.
4. Decoupaged Eggs
Decoupaging eggs is such a creative way to put a spin on classic Easter egg decorating. Instead of dying eggs the traditional way, decoupaging uses the top layer of decorative napkins and transfers the pattern with the help of decoupage glue.
When decoupaging, you can create eggs to fit any party theme —whether you’re going for boho, chic, or modern, you’ll find the perfect napkin decoration to fit.
5. Easter Pail Place Settings
This is another great craft to get assistance from kids. While they dye and decorate the Easter eggs to their heart’s content, you can create the base for the place settings. Pick up some mini-pails and fill them with the finished easter eggs and some greenery like faux grass for a fun springtime look. Place them at each table setting so each person has their own little decoration.
Bonus: you might even get the kids to help set the table by letting them decide which eggs go at each table setting.
6. Faux Nest
A faux nest is an out-of-the-box decor idea that will definitely wow your dinner guests! Pick up a faux birds nest at your local art supplies store and add accents like tiny flowers such as wax flowers or baby’s breath. Take your centerpiece to the next level with a customized kraft paper tag that has a sweet handwritten message on it!
7. Glitter Easter Eggs
Elevate your Easter eggs by adding confetti or glitter! After the eggs are dyed, brush on a thin layer of glue on the bottom half, and dip the egg in gold glitter or confetti.
Show off your creations by putting them on each plate setting, or by setting them down the table runner for a unique and creative centerpiece!
Florals & Fauna
If the thought of trying to DIY crafts with eggs makes you feel like you’re walking on eggshells — don’t worry! Flowers are a fantastic table decor idea as well, and can even be at your door with same-day delivery so you don’t have to worry about picking up the materials yourself. Here are some of my favorite floral Easter decoration ideas that will make a statement at the dinner table.
1. Floral Springtime Easter Centerpiece
A floral centerpiece is a tabletop classic for a reason. Floral centerpieces are beautiful and elegant — give yours an Easter twist with spring flowers like peonies and tulips.
If you want your centerpiece to stand out, use a simple vintage vase and let the flowers do the talking! Pairing bright colors like pink and purple with accent greenery will make this the perfect springtime centerpiece.
2. Floral Bud Vases
A floral bud vase is a simple yet elegant decoration for your Easter dinner table. Use flowers such as daffodils and place them in small bud vases around the table or as a centerpiece with a table runner!
3. Eggshell Planters
Eggshell planters are a trendy and creative way to accessorize your Easter dinner table. Start by gently breaking off the tops of dyed Easter eggshells, then line the shells with soil and add succulents or cacti. Use egg holders or an egg carton to show off your creative Easter decoration that is fun and eco-friendly!
4. Spring Tulip Centerpiece
Show off spring’s most colorful flowers with this simple yet trendy centerpiece. Use hyacinth, another spring-bloomer, to add some uniqueness to this floral arrangement. Make it stand out even more with a creative vase like a vintage watering can or teapot!
Sweets & Treats
What’s an Easter celebration without some candy involved? If you’re looking for a centerpiece that is sure to be a hit with the entire family, check out these creative table decor ideas that are tasty and original!
1. Easter Teacup Place Setting
For a look straight out of a fairy book, fill a teacup with Easter-egg shaped chocolates and spring flowers like buds or cherry blossoms. Set them at each place setting for an adorable (and delicious) decoration that the whole family will love.
2. Easter Candy Pots
Getting Easter candy was one of the best parts of the holiday as a kid — make it fun for the whole family with these adorable Easter candy pots.
First, pick up some mini peat pots from a gardening supply store. Then, fill the pots with shredded kraft paper and some mini chocolate eggs for a bite-size version of the classic Easter basket!
3. Easter Egg Cookie Tree
Create a centerpiece your family will love like this sugar cookie easter egg tree! To make this, arrange some sturdy branches in a simple but strong vase (dogwood branches or cherry blossom branches are perfect for this due to their small blooms). Then, accent the tree with egg-shaped sugar cookies for a delicious and trendy decor centerpiece.
Don’t Stress Easter Dinner
Easter is a holiday for slowing down and taking time to enjoy life. Whether you’re with family, friends, or spending quality time by yourself, Easter is one of the best holidays for kicking back and relaxing.
As a host, it can be easy to get stressed out by small things when trying to plan the perfect event. Trying to cook dinner, get your place ready, and have the table decorated is a lot to handle at once. Use one of these ideas to create your tablescape and give yourself peace of mind ahead of hosting Easter dinner.
