Easter Ideas Part 1

March 29, 2011 by Courtney 29 Comments

Between finishing up the mudroom and taking it easy this past weekend, I am a little slow on the Easter décor. So I thought I would show you some inspiration from the beautiful Easter my sister hosted last year. I am very much drawn to using natural elements when decorating for holidays, so her use of wheat grass and brown eggs had me swooning. Maybe you can take away an idea or two as well. IMG_4037 Her kitchen island had this beautiful basket filled with blown out eggs. She used brown eggs and then dyed the other eggs a very soft cream and a pale pale blue. I think the natural look of them is gorgeous. She filled the hurricanes with moss, a small nest and a few small blue eggs.   IMG_4038 IMG_4033 Her beautiful table was a mix of plaid and polka dot plates. She white washed teracota pots and planted wheat grass. If you are hosting Easter, it only takes about 10 days for the seeds to sprout so there is plenty of time. IMG_4034 And being the very thoughtful aunt, she filled my son’s pot with lollipops as the poor little thing is allergic to chocolate! Poor guy. The rest of the pots were filled with chocolate bunnies peeking out. IMG_4035 I will be back with some Easter goodies I am working on {slowly but surely!}. Thanks to my talented and beautiful sister for providing this great inspiration.

    I love the idea of using pale or pastel colors for the easter eggs… it made the eggs look a bit elegant without taking out the whimsy on them.

    How pretty! Love the natural look of the eggs! I haven't done anything with easter decorating either. I think this inspiration will nip me in the rear to get going though 😀

    What a beautiful tablescape!! Thanks for sharing it with us. Kate can't have chocolate either (due to her migraines and she has issues with milk and chocolate-reason unknown). So, we too have to get creative around all those chocolate laden holidays!! Thank goodness for jellybeans and gummy bears!!!

    This is beautiful. I have been slow on the decorating thus far, and I think this may be just what I needed. : )

    What a darling Easter table! I love the polka dot plates and the cute pots of grass. I'm a sucker for both of those pieces of cuteness.

    I can't even talk about the cuteness of this table because I'm so distraught that your son is allergic to chocolate.
