Set Scthee

If there’s one holiday that really invites you fully, giddily to embrace whimsy, it’s Easter! As springtime finally makes itself known, we’re feeling a little spring in our steps. Even though the weather usually isn’t quite right for picnics, we always think of ways to bring the feel of an outdoor dining experience indoors.

We always love mismatched glassware and plates, but it’s a look that’s especially appropriate for the playful spirit of Easter. Our best advice is to either stick to a single color and mismatch the textures, or to select a single standout color.

Is there anything more precious than cabbage plates?! When we think of bunnies, we think of gardens; vegetable-themed plates, terrines and platters are more than welcome at our table.

Woven rattan placemats, trays, napkin rings and chargers instantly make us think of warmer weather. Tucking live flowers, eggs, birds’ nests and greenery into your tablescape will bring spring to the party.

Clear glassware can be beautiful, but it often doesn’t have the impact that colorful glass brings to the table (pun intended). Whereas clear glasses disappear into the background, colored glass underscores the color theme and brings visual interest to each placesetting.

Yeah, yeah. We get it; it’s hardly groundbreaking to suggest floral patterns for a spring table. But the right tablecloth or napkin set could serve you for months to come – and certainly again next Easter.

If you invest in themed napkins for just one event a year, make it Easter. Especially if your other table décor has more of a general “spring” vibe, napkins featuring bunnies, eggs or ducklings will bring everything together.
