Let's face it, it'll be near impossible to get everything you want to create this year's Easter table setting thanks to the lockdown restrictions. However, if you're frantically pacing up and down your kitchen right now, wondering how to add a splash of something to your themed table this weekend, fear not! I've got you covered. Needless to say, nipping out to the shops at this late stage is out of the question and so instead, let's turn the focus over to whatever we may have sitting in our homes to jazz up the aesthetic. Depending on who you're spending lockdown with, you may not be able to share the meal with your friends/family and loved ones. But you can make the meal spectacular, nevertheless. Ready for five quick, easy and yet high-impact tips? Let's go!
I'd love to hear how you'll be spending this Easter Sunday? I plan on eating my body weight in roast turkey before munching my way through more chocolate than humanly possible. Next up? A couple of films, accompanied by candles and fur throws. Let me know in the comments below!

If you're blessed with a garden of any size, reach for your secateurs and bring inside a few flowers of which to embellish your Easter table setting!

... or silver, whatever. Either way, fill your table with an abundance of your chosen metallic for an instant upgrade. Ooh, sparkles...

This is a safe space - you can be honest with me. You've got some mini eggs, creme eggs and Lindt chocolate bunnies stashed away somewhere, right? Sorry, but this is where I become the villain by asking you to bring them out and place them down on each table setting (ideally, next to name cards). It may just be you and your partner, but there's no denying this will make for an adorable personal touch to help create a sense of occasion during these difficult times!

Take a tour through your home and cherrypick any pastel-coloured accessories that scream of the Spring season. If you're struggling to transform your Easter table setting, pastel colours are sure to help you level up! I'm talking light pink, baby blue, canary yellow, light green...
C R E A T I V I T Y I S N O T A C O M P E T I T I O N
... unless you've challenged your roomies/loved ones to create a centrepiece for your table setting! It's a win-win. You get to spend time together creating something crafty and the centre of your themed table stops looking so tragic. If you're desperately short of time, simply adopt the old tradition of painting hard eggs. Then, give them pride of place at the centre in a caged bowl or glass jar. Too easy.

So pretty! We are not going to celebrate Easter this year. I just don't feel it...
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post, Gabrielle. Easter's definitely different this year, but we can still make the most of it and enjoy this time at home. Your table decoration skills are always great. Gold is always a great idea, along with pastels - perfect for this celebration!

Ooh these table decorations are so pretty and I am in love with the gold! You're right that it's near impossible to celebrate as we usually would, but I think anything to distract us from the craziness of current events, if possible, it's what's needed.

I adore this Easter spread!!! Hot cross buns mmmm. Love the idea of adding a few personal creme eggs to each place setting, so cute! I did have to go out to Starbucks this morning to get myself my first latte since Lent began 47 days ago :') Aside from that, I'll just be having some burgers with my family, all the choc, and it's films & the sofa for the remainder of the day. Hope you have a lovely Easter!!! <3 xxx
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful, as always you setup the table so well! :) We missed out on our big Easter meal sadly but we still got together with the family online and had a big video call together, it was really nice, making the most of the situation we are in. I even got dressed up for it!
ReplyDeleteHope that you had a lovely Easter :)

I've missed the boat for easter, but I can't believe I've never thought of getting flowers out of my own garden to bring inside - 100% making a cute set up for my table later!

Oh Gabrielle, this little table set is just to cute, I love the yellow and cutlery. I love hot cross buns so much so, I wish they sell them all year around. A girl can wish lol. I love the finer touches of name cards and mini chocolate placed with them. I hope you are doing well : ) xo.
