Easter Tree on the Easter Table

Bringing Our German Roots to the Easter Table

This year’s Easter table was one of my favorites! There’s something about setting an Easter table that feels extra special each year. It’s not just about making things look pretty. It’s about creating a space that feels meaningful, layered with tradition, and filled with pieces that tell a story. So this year I decided to decorate with an Easter tree on the Easter Table. It turned out so pretty, especially with the gorgeous cherry blossom branches.

As you can see I almost always use these blue and white scalloped plates. They are the best and sold out. But I linked different options below.

I wanted to bring a little bit of our German heritage into our home by creating an Easter tree. In Germany, it’s a long-standing tradition to hang decorated eggs on branches as a symbol of new life and the arrival of spring. I’ve always loved the idea of it–simple, beautiful, and full of meaning—so I decided to make it the centerpiece of our table.

To decorate the eggs, I leaned into something I’ve been loving lately—decoupage. (Honestly, I’m on a bit of a decoupage kick right now and finding ways to use it everywhere.) I used paper napkins with soft patterns and delicate colors, gently layering them onto the eggs. It’s such an easy technique, but the result feels so detailed and custom. Each egg ends up slightly different, which only adds to the charm. I did a whole post on how to makes these beautiful DIY paper-napkin Easter eggs.

For the branches, I chose cherry blossoms. There’s something about their softness and movement that makes the whole table feel light and fresh, like spring has truly arrived. The combination of the blossoms with the hanging eggs creates this beautiful focal point that feels both organic and intentional.

And then there’s the tablecloth is one of my most treasured pieces. It was a gift from my sweet neighbor, who lived to be 100 years old. She gave it to me before she passed, and I think of her every single time I use it. It brings such a sense of warmth to the table, not just because it’s beautiful, but because of the memory tied to it.

I picked up the beautiful spring flowers from Trader Joes and do simple agreements. All the spring colors complement each other and tie in the decoupage easter eggs. Make sure to check out my instagram reel to see everything in action.

That’s really what I love most about setting a table like this. It’s not about perfection. It’s about layering in pieces that mean something. All the traditions, memories, a little creativity and creating a space where people feel welcomed and at home.
