It’s been a long time of being cooped up and not being able to hang out with our friends.

But that seems to be changing, thank heavens!

For many, Easter was a time to let loose and celebrate with all things beautiful, especially those nearests and dearests!

It's almost becoming a novelty to have dinner at the table these days. So occasions when you're having a bunch of friends and family around is a great opportunity to dress yourself and your table up.

Here are some fun ideas on table settings you may want to try for your next ‘do’.

Whether that be a boujee breakfast/lunch/dinner for no particular reason or next Easter… You can always sub the eggs in these ideas for some other tasty treats. Or ornamental things such as pretty stones or natural treasures.

Spring Flowers in China Cups

Mini bunches of spring flowers in old china look so charming. And it doesn’t just have to be in the cups. The milk jug and sugar bowl make even more interesting receptacles.

Tulips Galore

Massive bunches of tulips are always a hit. White is glorious, as are all the others. Take your pick and pair with candles for a nostalgic vibe.

Bright and Cheerful Blooms

A juicy mix of cheery coloured blooms and complimentary foliage go well with whites. Simplicity is the key.

Dried Mixed Posies

Posies of dried flowers always go down well and bring a cosy, nostalgic vibe to the gathering. Pair with lacy doilies and vintage china tea cups and you’re in for a royal time.

Dried Hydrangea

Speaking of dry flowers, if you happen to have some dried hydrangea on hand they’ll be a great addition to your table. In fact, hydrangea make great decorative pieces in the home and any occasion as they last for years and have been known to maintain their colour for quite a long time. Here they fit in beautifully with bamboo handled cutlery and vintage floral china crockery.

Simple Sprigs

If you’re wanting to go for a classic, timeless and natural look, the elegant simplicity of rosemary is a winner. Especially with some fern in the centre to bring it all together.

Greens by the Glass

Gorgeous green foliage, herbs and other green edibles in clear glasses are chic looking yet understated. Bring some height to the tablescape with contrasting taller upcycled dark glass bottles holding minimalistic branches. You can also add in any succulents or cactus or other small house plants you may have to the table.

Et voila! You’ve just created a clean, fresh look with a bit of quirk for good measure.

Bunny Ears and Blue

We just love these bunny-ear napkins with beautiful blue chintz eggs. With blue and white blooms to match of course. And bunny ears always go down well, so we see them fitting in on any occasion, not just around Easter time.

Happy decorating and celebrating!
