Do you have your Easter menu planned? We pretty much have the same thing year after year. I think my family would be disappointed if I didn't make all of the things they've become accustomed to!
What does change every year is our Easter Table Setting. This year I used many vintage items and I'm in love with it!
To decorate my Dining Room table, I started with a roll of kraft colored wrapping paper with white polka dots.
Then I added all sorts of fun stuff!! I mixed a bunch of different things:
- faux flowers
- faux eggs
- repurposed candle holders
- candles
- paper stamping
Last time I was at the flea market, I picked up a bunch of random vintage metal goodness! I think they were old lamp pieces and light fixtures.
I used a few of them to make candle holders.
I used hot glue to marry the pieces temporarily. I'll probably take them apart and use them for something else. If I wanted a permanent hold, I'd use E6000.
This piece from an old lamp makes a perfect stand for a jar of white eggs, green grass and fairy lights.
At each place setting I used a place card on a vintage hinge, a linen napkin, our silverware-tied with a ribbon, and our everyday white plates, on top of a wicker charger.
The place marker paper is from an old cookbook. I used rubber stamps (smaller similar set here) to
spell out each name and a chocolate Easter bunny. A vintage hinge is holding the placecard.
Each setting also has a stemmed glass with a little baggie of (the best) Starburst jelly beans.
All of the different metals look so good mixed and matched together!
I stamped our Easter Dinner menu on the same cookbook paper as the place cards.
The menu holder is a large beat up hinge that is rusted closed. Luckily it's frozen with just enough room to stick a paper inside. I hot glued the hinge to the remnant of an old yardstick.
I just love the wooden eggs and the pom pom chickies!! Such a charming addition to our Easter Table!
Our shelving unit is right beside our table. I couldn't help but add a few Easter touches there as well!
I painted a variety of clay pots (DIY instructions here) and planted wheat grass in a large one.
I stacked a bunch of different sized pots in a basket with white plastic and chalkboard eggs. The bottom shelf displays my Easter Bunny shadow box.
I think we are ready for our Easter meal! Do you have a traditional meal for Easter?
