An Eventful Life Blog
Does anyone else feel we were ringing in the new year just a few weeks ago and are now preparing to celebrate Easter? Honestly, where has this year gone? This Easter, keep things simple and focused on bright colors. I found a set of six faux grass placemats on Amazon here. I set a whimsical table using stuff I already had, like the adorable sheep, pots of topiaries, a blue and white tablecloth, and blue and white checked melamine plates – both from Amazon. And of course I couldn’t resist adding heirloom carrots to the table.
How about tying up a bunch of radishes with twine to add a pop of color to a napkin? Peter Rabbit approves.
Coconut Macaroon Nests from Skinnytaste
You don’t have to have a ton of decor for every holiday. These Coconut Macaroon Nests from Skinnytaste can serve as your Easter decor and dessert. Look at these sweet little peat pots I found on Amazon filled with candy. Wouldn’t a place card be adorable in each guest’s place setting?
Speaking of place cards – I created a free set of Easter place cards just for my followers. You can download here a set for your table or tie on easter baskets and hostess gifts.
Yummy Healthy Easy
As for an appetizer that will make a lasting impression, how about this adorable Easter carrot cheese ball from Yummy Healthy Easy.
Last, flowers. They don’t have to cost a ton to make an impact, and you don’t need to go to a florist. Trader Joe’s has a lovely selection of pretty spring blooms. I purchased Shamrock green hydrangeas, chamomile, and rose lilies this week, all under $20. And don’t forget your garden has plenty to contribute—like Dusty Miller, pansies, rosemary, and daffodils.
I’ve got tons more ideas on my Pinterest board for Easter here.
Happy Spring!
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
