As spring unfurls its vibrant colours and gentle breezes, it's time to gather friends and family for a celebration. Easter isn’t just a time for egg hunts and chocolate bunnies (although that’s definitely a huge part of it for us); it's also an opportunity to create lasting memories around the dinner table. Whether you're hosting an intimate gathering or a lively feast, here are some tips to ensure your Easter dinner party is a success.
The bow trend was everywhere in 2023 and if like us, you’re not quite ready to give up tying ribbons to everything you own… then pastel bows added to linen napkins are a quick and simple way to elevate your tableware. It’s a great activity to involve small children with too.
For a modern twist on traditional Easter decor, consider incorporating minimalist touches or eclectic accents that reflect your personal style. Mix and match patterns, textures, and colours to create visual interest and depth within your space. If you’re not a fan of colour, crisp white linens and textured plain plates can also elevate the tablescape. Try experimenting with playful table runners, chic napkin rings, or statement candleholders to add a touch of personality to your dining experience. And of course, no Easter dinner party is complete without a touch of whimsy… we love hanging colourful eggs from the floral centrepiece. It’s a conversation starter!
Embrace the season's palette by incorporating pastel hues and fresh flowers—daffodils are a classic choice for spring, but we also love anemones, tulips, or delicate blossoms. And don’t think flowers just need to be limited to the table! Small vases of blooms positioned throughout the room on shelves or cabinets can easily transform the space without the need for complicated or messy decorations.
Don't forget to end the meal on a sweet note. Desserts like a classic carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, lemon meringue pie, or fruity pavlova topped with fresh berries don’t require you to disappear into the kitchen and can often be made in advance to be stored in the fridge until showtime.
