Hosting An Easter Feast? Here’s Our Easter Dining Essentials

Tis the season to enjoy a hot cross bun (or two) and to eat too many Easter eggs. Whether your Easter style is a lazy Sunday brunch or a lavish sit-down setup we’re here to provide you with some of our stylist’s top tablescaping tips and table inspo, just in time for the Easter long weekend. You arrange the guest list, and we’ll cover the table setup.

Table Linen & Tableware for Easter

Start your Easter celebrations from the foundation of any tablescape…. the table linen! To pick the perfect tableware for Easter and your seasonal soiree, consider soft pastels, lightweight whimsical fabrics, floral accents and botanical touches. These are classic Easter elements that can quickly bring your dream long lunch tablescape to life. Or keep it simple with neutral tableware and let your Easter decor have its moment to shine!

For those looking to make more of a statement, look to soft floral table linen or striped table linen to add dramatic flair to your festive fun this year. These patterns contrasted with botanical accents and natural touches like garlands or fresh florals can bring the outside in for a woodland inspired Easter table set-up.

For added depth and dimension to your tableware for Easter, layer a neutral-coloured tablecloth with a colourful table runner. This can create a more cohesive Easter theme and impress guests as soon as they walk into your soiree! Perfect for formal family events or an elevated Easter catch-up with friends.

After more casual tableware for Easter? Forego the tablecloth and set your table with a table runner, classic dining settings and simple Easter decorations to keep it simple this season. This can create a more relaxed atmosphere and intimate setting suitable for smaller Easter celebrations with thoughtful touches.

Next, select stylish placemats to tie your Easter table theme together. Floral or botanical inspired placemats and napkins with an on-theme napkin ring are an easy option to bring a sense of spring into your tablescape. This can provide a pop of colour or a introduce a statement print that brings the WOW-factor!

To complement, select a simple cloth napkin and use a bunny napkin fold to create an on-theme place setting.

Easter Dining Essentials & Sets

After deciding on the table theme and linens, dinnerware is the next step to your perfect Easter tablescape. With tableware and linens drawing visual interest to your table, we recommend choosing a dinner set that can complement your tablecloth, placemats and napkins.

At Pillow Talk, our range of Easter dining essentials has something to complement your seasonal style this year with neutral designs that go with any theme or occasion. Alternatively, our cabbage inspired dinnerware set features beautiful plates and serving bowls to add greenery and a botanical feel to your tablescape, for those looking to make the ultimate statement.

Serving trays and platters are other Easter dining essentials that can help to bring your Easter table theme to life by echoing motifs, colour stories and finishes from the table linen and dinnerware sets.

Easter Table Decorations

After laying the groundwork, it’s time to add the finishing touches to your Easter table. These accents can truly bring your tablescape theme to life and echo the colours, textures, prints and patterns you can used in your table linen and dining settings to create a cohesive look and feel.

Think small touches like petite bunny sculptures, beautiful patterned easter eggs, adorable egg cups, themed cake stands and a pop of greenery! Top off your styling with fresh florals in vases to add height to your Easter table design.
