Even though we are not having Easter at our house:(:(, I decided to set a table anyway. I had already put the runner on the table, made the arrangement in the vase and added the glass candlesticks with the eggs. I loved it but then decided to add some dishes!! I love playing with my dishes:) I wanted to keep this somewhat neutral but a little elegant for the dining room. The beaded runner set the tone. I call it "rustic luxe" as it has the casual looking chargers and vase but more elegant details too. These bunny plates are new from Home Goods this year. I could NOT resist them, plus they just HOPPED right into my cart!
When I saw these cabbage napkin rings at Pier One I had to have them as well and I love them with the cabbage leaf placemats! I gathered a tan and a green napkin in them.
My green flatware makes another appearance.
The charger reminds me of an Easter basket so it is a staple each year. I got these at Pier One many years ago.
I found these beautiful wine glasses that were my Grandmothers!!! I found a box downstairs that hadn't been opened!!! They were in that box and I am THRILLED to have them.
A faux asparagus spear at each place adds a little whimsy:)
These are my favorite dinner dishes with the beautiful leaf and vine edge.
I got this garland at a favorite shop in Lancaster county. I bought it knowing I would embellish it too:)
I added the birds nests and a few asparagus stems.
The large eggs that are in the candlesticks were an AHA moment. I was in Walmart and saw these on an end cap and had an epiphany! I placed LED votives in the candlesticks that I can light at night.
Detail of the runner.
White cherry blossom stems are a favorite of mine for Spring and Summer. I love how they cascade over the table. Now if we were eating here I would replace this with a small arrangement.
This is one of my favorite tables I have ever done. Every time I walk by the dining room it makes me smile. It will be hard to take it down.
I thought I would show you the room without the tablescape.
Thanks so much for your visit. I wish you all a blessed Easter week. I will be sharing at these great parties:
