Easter time is one of the most important holidays for a Christian. Over the past few years, I have grown to love the holiday décor that celebrates such a powerful celebration. This year my focus was centered around the tables; this is where we spend most of our time after we worship Him at church. Table settings can be a difficult task and can become an expensive project when you’re working from scratch. This year, to save money I integrated vintage china pieces with new modern-day décor I love. The result was more beautiful and meaningful than I ever expected. This may be a new tradition.
The Inspiration
You never know where inspiration will come. Would you believe me if I told you today’s blog is entirely inspired by one single glass? It still amazes me how the sight of one item or piece can inspire a world of creativity, but it does. To start, I gathered gorgeous pieces that have been around for many, many years. This was my inspiration as I began looking for new pieces to incorporate into the setting. The delicate, floral china dish, as well as the pink goblets and wine glasses, were the perfect starting point. While these pieces are traditional, I absolutely loved the symbolism and colors they brought to the table. It was imperative that I blended the two styles cautiously.
I created not one, but two Easter table settings. One is an extravagant & luxurious design for the “adult” dining table while the second table displays a playful, whimsical design for kids. Each table is stunning on its own with no detail spared. Both are complete with intricate pieces bring layers of depth to each tablescape. These tables will have you so inspired to create your own magical world for your Easter celebration! I am going to let the pictures do all the talking for me today!

Flower Details
For the showstopping, stunning, breathtaking {insert all descriptive adjectives because a few words cannot describe the beauty of this floral arrangement} I was fortunate to collaborate with Sabrina; the owner of a local floral shop Always Floral. She took my inspiration and ran with it. Sourcing flowers from all over the globe she was able to integrate exotic and local flowers.
Silverware
I searched high and low for brass tableware that had modern lines, and that wouldn’t break the bank. As soon as I laid eyes on these bad boys, I knew they were the perfect addition. The price was right, but I wasn’t sure how the quality would be. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived! I loved that the set also included a dessert spoon, so cute! Setting the table with correct placement can be difficult to remember, but I created an image with all the details you’ll need.

The colors of both the vintage pink glasses and the iridescent tones from the wine glasses brought about this idea of whimsy and playfulness. I wanted to the kids’ area to be just as over the top and as decadent as the formal dining area, BUT in the most kid-friendly table setting. Insert tons of fun candy and cupcakes as décor, not only does this double as decor but its also edible! Thank you to Hello Sweetie Confectionary for providing the most delicious cupcakes! Trust me when I say the cupcakes taste as good as they look. I may have tasted one…ok, two during the photoshoot! This setting is budget-friendly; 99% of the décor items in this table setting came out of the “décor” closet. Getting creative with pieces you already have is half the battle but saves you lots of money.
I wanted to incorporate a unique place tag. The holographic iridescent cut outs from DearDarlingDesigns were the perfect fit, and it’s also something the kids can take home with them. I have them linked below!

I am absolutely OBSESSED with these two Easter table settings. Just as I love mixing different decorating styles when designing homes, the same is true in my home décor. The combination of the vintage cups/china and the modern pieces is pure perfection. As always, I hope this inspires you as you get ready to set your Easter dining table. It’s time to dust off the wedding china you haven’t used in years, or maybe ever, and pair it with more modern-day pieces. Don’t forget to let your Easter tablescape tell a story all on its own and be sure to call Sabrina at Always Floral for your flowers!
