Easter
Create a vintage vibeI adore this charming, vintage-inspired Easter table, which, rather than relying on the usual spring colours, harnesses the beauty of white. It’s a doddle to copy at home, too. Begin with a simple scrubbed table (no need for a tablecloth here), then add a hotchpotch of plain white crockery (don’t worry if nothing matches – this is the vintage look, after all) and decorate each setting with a flourish of buds and blooms. Collect old jam jars to double up as the cutest DIY glasses and sprinkle the table with dried rose petals, chocolate eggs and glittery bits and bobs.This would work really well for a sunny lunch or an Easter supper eaten by candlelight.
Dare to be bare You can always save the chocolate for a surprise, post-lunch Easter egg hunt, leaving your table bare except for spring flowers, so the focus can be on the food and conversation. Mix simple white china with pale-print linens and a posy of tulips for a modern, Scandi-inspired flavour. Finish off with a simple DIY floristry trick of filling old jam jars and vintage glasses with sprigs of emerald greenery. The effect is simple yet surprisingly stunning…TELL US…What’s your top tip for decorating the Easter table? We’d love to hear your ideas and see your photos in the Comments below.
