This year I decided on an (almost) monochromatic color scheme for my Easter table. Maybe because winter is so long, gray and dreary I’m in the mood for fresh, clean colors. So, white and buttery-yellow are perfect for the transition of winter-into-spring. 

For the napkin ring, I twisted a 24-inch thick chenille stem around a folded napkin. Bend the ends so it resembles bunny ears. Since this is a traditional table setting, lay the napkin next to the fork on the right side of the plate.

It’s all about presentation. Instead of the usual Easter basket, or messy grass, I rolled soft, white yarn into a nest shape and set it on a salad plate. A hard-boiled egg, dyed buttery-yellow, is safely nestled inside.

I love vintage stemware. A cut-glass champagne coupe adds a bit of glam to the table. Even kids like drinking juice from pretty glasses on special occasions. A little sprig of berries is wound around the stem for added texture. 

It wouldn’t be Easter without candy. I chose white chocolate bunnies and pale-yellow jelly beans to coordinate with the dishes. The beans are under a dome to help resist eating candy before dinner. It also makes a unique party favor.
