45 Pretty Easter Table Settings + Centerpieces

Take your Easter centerpiece beyond a standard vase and instead place it in a pretty vintage tin for an added pop of color and pattern. Protect the tin and eliminate any possibility of leaks by first placing the arrangement in a plastic or glass container that's just a bit smaller than your tin, then slide the bloom-filled container inside the tin for a guest-impressing centerpiece.

Take a cue from our friends at HGTV Magazine and select one main color, then carry that hue through from the table linens to the plates, glassware and centerpiece. Sticking with that one color makes it easy to mix disparate patterns while still creating a cohesive look.

Place cards may seem unnecessarily formal for Easter, which is normally a family get-together, but they're an easy way to give your table more of a special-occasion feel. These vintage porcelain name tags (found for a steal at an estate sale) make it easy to personalize each place setting: You just write the guest's name with a marker which easily wipes off the glazed surface when dinner is done.

Setting up a separate kids' table is a time-honored holiday tradition that you've probably followed at other holidays but may not have considered for Easter. If not, this year, give it a try by covering a card table with a cheery cloth, and then setting a sweet scene complete with a few kid-pleasing surprises.
