Spring Easter Table Decorations

Spring is definitely one of my favorites seasons.  Mostly because the world becomes alive again with color!  I love all the spring flowers that bloom, and trees blossoming with tiny flower buds.  Spring pastel colors are everywhere.  So for my Easter table this year I wanted it to look and feel like I brought Spring inside my home.  Bright pastel colors are perfectly expressed with watercolors!  Using watercolor ceramics, watercolor egg placements and bright in-season tulip centerpiece, this Spring Easter Table Decorations is inviting for all Easter guests to enjoy a brunch or luncheon.

As you can see watercolors is kind of my thing recently.   Don’t you agree that this Spring Easter table decorations makes this table look so happy and alive?  Colors have that affect on people!  The watercolor Easter egg place cards that I posted last week are perfect for a brunch or luncheon.  You can use a hard-boiled egg for the place cards and your guest can then peel and eat the egg!  The eggs are propped with old napkin rings that I spray painted white.  I also painted ceramic cake platters fun pastel colors.  I will post the DIY on it, but it is exactly like my watercolor jewelry tray post.  Yes!  I strongly encourage you to have a nice collection of white platters and serving pieces on hand and then paint them to match your table decorations.  You can pick up white serving platters and plates from the dollar store.  This Spring Easter table decorations is a simple display but full of so much life and Easter celebration.

DIY: Tulip Cabbage Flower Arrangement for Easter

For my Easter table this year, I wanted to create a centerpiece that had Springtime written all over it.  Using seasonal flowers, this tulip cabbage flower arrangement does just that!  Brings the garden to the table, the centerpiece is fresh and alive with colorful farm to table goodness.  It reminds me of something Peter Rabbit might bring home from the cabbage field.  Don’t you agree?  Tulips are in season so this is the best time to enjoy and use them for your Easter table.  I bought three bunches (30 stems) for $12 at my local Whole Foods.  Talk about a deal!  And the cabbage is about $1.50.  Easy to arrange and budget-friendly, this tulip cabbage flower arrangement is inviting for all to enjoy and reminds us of rebirth and life during this Easter season.

Supplies

tulips (or other spring flowers like hyacinth, daffodils)

Cabbage with pretty leaves on the outside

paring knife

Wet foam block (or you can use a small mason jar, but I like the look of a foam block to make the arrangement look full)

flower shears

Take your cabbage and make sure the base is flat.  Cut the bottom if needed.  Separate the outside leaves away from the center.  Discard any leaves that are brown or wilted.  Using your knife, cut out a hole in the center of the cabbage that is large enough for the foam.  Save all the yummy cabbage insides for a large Chinese chicken salad (yum).

Take your larger knife and cut down the wet foam to a small square.  Make sure to fully saturate the foam in water and let it soak, so it’s heavy with water.  Cut down the corners so it fits perfectly in the cabbage hole.

Tulip-Flower-Arrangement

Take your shears and cut three flowers at a time and cut to the height you’d like.  Remove any loose leaves.  I like working with flower wet foam because you have ton of control of how you’d like the flowers to be placed.  High, low, at an angle.  Gently push the flowers in the wet foam, working in circular manner.  Spinning the cabbage.  You can stay in the center and work toward the outside or vice versa.  I alternated colors every three flowers .

Once the foam is fully covered, place your cabbage on a tray or platter to protect your table.  Make sure to add a little water every 1-2 days.

Enjoy your tulip cabbage flower arrangement this Easter!

Simple Thanksgiving Table Setting Decorations: Mad for Plaid and Printables

simple thanksgiving table setting decorations

Simple Thanksgiving Table Setting Decorations: Mad for plaid, especially black plaid, is going strong this season, and I am fully into it.  For my thanksgiving table this year, I wanted to create a simple, yet modern table setting that somehow used plaid pattern, but not over the top.  And was also kind to my budget.  Thankfully, I had most of the table setting glassware and dinnerware from previous dinners, but I did want to add a few new decorations so it would give the table a new thanksgiving look.

I actually did a few DIY’s on this table setting.  The DIY’s steps and printables for the menu and seating names are posted below.  Resources are listed below the post.  The black plates are a DIY and a knock-off from last year’s West Elm thanksgiving plates.  The templates can be downloaded below in this post.

Black and gold are my favorite especially in subtle form.  The Menu and place card is also a printable.  Easy to add your items to the list and print for each of your guest.  I cut fresh rosemary from my garden for a touch of detail.  The musky, greenery smell is perfectly fitting for the occasion.

I made the black and white plaid table runner from Ikea fabric.  Then I took fabric scraps to wrap around the napkin and menu.  You can sew the strips or glue them down!  The tissue-covered pumpkins came in handy for a decoration on the thanksgiving table.  Mercury glass vases and votives bring a shimmery glow to the table.

Resources and How To’s:

Thanksgiving Stencils for black plates— DOWNLOAD HERE .  If you have a cricut, upload and size down to 8.5″x 11″.  Then cut stencils out on vinyl or heavy cardstock paper.   If you DON’t have a cricut, print out the stencil on your printer and follow my instructions on how to transfer artwork using graphite/chalk paper.  Then use a gold metallic Deco Arts Paint Pen (they work better than oil-based sharpie pen).  And stencil the design on the plate.  Or if you used graphite paper, go over the design with the paint pen.  Let it cure for 8 hours then bake at 375 degrees for 40 mins.

Menu Printable Card— DOWNLOAD HERE for blank card

Plaid Table Runner—Ikea Berta Ruta Fabric .  I cut the width the size of a standard table runner (about 20″) then sewed all four sides.  Don’t sew?  Then use fabric glue to secure down the sides–fold down all 4-sides about 5/8″.

Black Dessert Plates—Ikea Dinera Side plates stenciled with printables I made and gold metallic DecoArts Paints  (see above for DIY)  I also made Salt and Pepper Shakers with the DecoArts Paint pen.
