To assemble a breathtaking Easter table display, meticulous consideration is essential. Merely bringing out your finest dinnerware (do people still have those?) and matching silverware won’t suffice. The table linens, centerpiece, and decorations all merge to create the finished aesthetic.
As one of the few events celebrated from morning until early afternoon, Easter brunch has an exclusive vibe. Unlike Christmas, it isn’t centered around sparkle, glitter, and candle glow. Held in bright daylight during a season signifying renewal, the hues are vivid and the environment more laid-back.
Although the goal is to create an impressive decor and scrumptious menu, Easter brunch focuses more on enjoyment than perfection.
What is Brunch?
The term “brunch” refers to a late-morning meal (although it may be enjoyed later) encompassing an assortment of breakfast items and early afternoon dishes.
At various Easter gatherings, eggs — the ultimate symbol — are prominent in both decor and cuisine. These versatile items can be served in several forms, including hard boiled, deviled, fried, scrambled, or incorporated into an omelette or casserole.
Brunch frequently consists of breakfast-style sides such as bacon, sausage, hash browns, fresh fruit, pastries, bread, rolls, pancakes, waffles, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and donuts.
Additionally, lunch fare like salad, raw vegetables, pasta, potatoes, ham, turkey, roast beef, or deli meats is often included.
The presentation method can vary greatly. Since Easter brunch is generally more laid-back than Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners, you might choose a buffet-style arrangement to simplify your task.
Lay the Foundation
To expertly arrange your Easter table, take stock of what you possess and identify any gaps. Essential items include dinnerware and utensils, along with glassware and serving tools. If your set is incomplete, consider borrowing or enhancing your collection. Thrift stores can provide excellent, budget-friendly options!
Some form of table protection will preserve your table’s surface and set the stage for your brunch decor. In modern settings, a traditional tablecloth is just one option. Current trends often feature table runners, sometimes accompanied by placemats, allowing the natural texture or live edge of the table to be showcased.
Table Enhancements
For convenience, you might consider using paper napkins; however, fabric napkins add a sophisticated touch. Napkin rings are an endearing addition. If napkin rings are not available, bright ribbons will do the trick. For a neutral aesthetic, try using jute or twine. Another option is to thread some colorful crystals or natural wooden beads onto an elastic band for a quick DIY napkin ring set. You won’t even need napkin rings if you follow an online tutorial on “how to fold a napkin into an Easter bunny.”
Many hosts appreciate using place card holders to arrange seating. Social media platforms offer a wealth of inspiration for crafting Easter place cards using Easter eggs, paper, and other materials.
