How to create a seasonal Easter table setting

Simple touches for a seasonal look

Bringing an Easter look to your table doesn't take much effort. If you have suitable tableware in pretty pastel colours, so much the better, but plain white crockery will work well, too.

You could layer up pieces from two different crockery sets to create a colour theme. Contrast coloured tableware with fresh white linen, or use coloured napkins with plain china.

Here, white napkins are secured with pink bobble trim (available from haberdashery and department stores). This adds a touch of fun and echoes the colours of some of the decorative eggs on the table.

As a gift for guests, little pots filled with mini eggs on each plate setting look fabulous. Trim these with blue gingham ribbon and use wider gingham ribbon to decorate each chair. Blue, white and pink painted eggs in egg boxes continue the colour theme along the middle of the table. Spiky foliage in a vase adds a modern twist.
