Set A Beautiful And Charming Easter Brunch Table
Earlier this week, I shared a sneak peek of my tablescape during my spring home tour. Today, I’m excited to share all of the details on how to set a beautiful and charming table for your Easter brunch.
A Charming Easter Centerpiece
With each tablescape I create, I like to choose one piece that inspires me. Sometimes it’s a vintage find from a local thrift store. Or a piece of fabric. Often times it’s something I already own.
For my Easter tablescape, it was these faux white hyacinth bulbs. Last year, I created a spring garden tablescape using some real hyacinth that I found at the grocery store. They were gorgeous (and smelled amazing), but the blooms didn’t last long.
Since they are perennials, I intended to plant them outside so I could enjoy their blooms again this spring. Sadly they didn’t fare so well. And so this year I decided that faux was the way to go.
I anchored the bulbs in a piece of floral foam and used a vintage soup tureen as a planter. Then to give the centerpiece a more finished look, I topped it off with some green moss from the craft store.
Underneath the centerpiece, I layered a burlap table runner and an old breadboard. Then, to create balance, I added a few bunnies and some whitewashed clay pots filled with spring greenery.
The bunnies were a find from last year. They were pastel blue and pink when I bought them, so I used a can of white spray paint that I had on hand to give them a fresh look.
So much better!
Styling An Easter Place Setting
For me styling a place setting is all about creating layers that use a mix of colors, patterns, and textures.
At each place setting, I used these woven chargers. Then, for dishware, I used these white dishes. They go with everything and have made several appearances in some of my past tablescapes.
With all of the solid colors, I brought in a pop of pattern with these tan buffalo check napkins.
In keeping with the classic look of the table, I used some old thrifted silverware. I love the pretty beaded detail which mimics the pattern that is on the rim of the plates.
I finished each place setting by adding some vintage-style water goblets. Then I paired the goblets with some shorter glasses that I found hidden in my dining room buffet. I had forgotten all about them, but I think it was meant to be.
The glasses match perfectly, don’t they?
Adding The Finishing Touches
To finish my Easter brunch table, I created these whimsical DIY bunny ear napkins. They’re so easy to make! I was able to fold and tie four in less than 15 minutes.
I used a piece of twine to tie the napkin together and create the ears. Then, I nestled a plastic egg in the center of each napkin. Since the eggs are hollow, I was able to easily “crack” them open and tuck in a bit of moss. It added just the perfect touch of spring color to each place setting.
Some of you might recognize the eggs. They’re the same ones that I used to decorate last year’s Easter table. It was fun to find a new way to use and repurpose some of my old Easter decor.

Cindy@CountyRoad407 says
What a stunning table Jen! I love the eggs with moss tucked into the bunny ear folded napkins. Such a great idea. Do you remember what kind of paint you used for the bunnies? I specifically want to know what sort of sheen is was. Matte or satin? I have a few ugly blue bunnies I’d like to paint. Great hop. Happy Easter!
midwestlifeandstyle says
Thank you so much, Cindy! For the bunny makeover, I believe I just used a can of flat white spray paint from Rust-Oleum. They still have a bit of sheen to them, but they were a really shiny pastel color when I bought them. I hope that helps and happy Easter to you too!
Debra Oliver says

Such a pretty table, Jen; so crisp and fresh with the whites, greens and brown. Love those hyacinths; the real ones just don’t last very long…but they do smell amazing!
midwestlifeandstyle says
Thank you, Lora. Yes, I love real flowers, but they don’t last long, do they? This way I can have “fresh” blooms all spring long.😉
