Easter Table 2013

 I hope you all had a wonderful blessed Easter!  The weather here was just fabulous for all 4 days of the long weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

 

I thought you might like to see what I came up with for my Easter table for 2013. 

 

It began with this 'bunnies-in-a-basket' centerpiece I created with a greenery-ball, some Easter eggs, a white lace runner and a rectangular basket that I wrapped with pink berry-garland.

 

 

In the picture below, you can see that I raised the centerpiece to give it some height and a bit more presence on the table. (I used three of my glass blocks covered by another white lace runner but you could use some books with cloth napkins, etc to provide the needed elevation.)

 

 

 

I like to think the bunnies are enjoying a munch or two of these tasty green sprouts.

 

 

 

 

I wanted to use my pink/green dishes because they are so spring-like and as such, I was forced to go with a colour scheme that is, as you know, a little outside my comfort zone.

 

 

 

It is hard for me to embrace pastel tones but Easter/Spring decorations tend to lean in that direction so I went with it.

 

 

 

 

Besides the bunnies in the centerpiece basket, other bunnies were called into action as well.

(I picked up two of these cuties from a local Pharmasave drug store.)

 

 

 

 

Chocolate Lindt bunnies served as placecard holders and take-home favours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stemware consisted of my trusty amber wine glasses and clear glass water goblets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These bunnies almost look like they are made of metal in a bronze tone but are actually lightweight resin. (I got them a few years back locally at Coopers' grocery store)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I put a Lindt chocolate inside these plastic eggs at each place setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 What was on the menu?, you might ask....why, "take-out" of course! That's right, family and guests agreed we should take it easy this year and order in.  Since we all love Chinese food, that was the natural choice.

 

 

 

We all got to be outside enjoying the sunshine and Spring weather instead of slaving in the kitchen!  With the table set and special guests gathered, the Easter menu can be whatever you like!  Clean-up was a breeze too!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!
