An Outdoor Easter Egg Tablescape

Welcome!  I hope you have been experiencing wonderful weather in your neck-of-the-woods like we have been here in New England.  It's been beautiful, especially considering it is March.  March can be brutal here at times so, I am taking in every day that I can.  Today, I am going to share with you an outdoor Easter egg tablescape I created for the Easter season.

  Last week I shared my Washi tape Easter egg craft. You can see that post here if you would like. This week I am using those created eggs in my tablescape.  

My Washi Easter eggs were the inspiration for my tablescape but, these cute bunny napkins I found recently were also inspiring.  I thought they were so, so cute and would look good on any Easter table!


Next, I set out to find other elements to use in the tablescape.  Luckily, I had a a variety of plates and chargers that I put together for the table setting.  I liked how they all came together.


The assortment went well with the bunny napkins, also.  So far, so good~


I searched through my home for other elements I could use.  My friend, Karen, had given me this plate holder.  Unfortunately, my plates were too big to fit on the holders so, I placed a pink vase in the middle of it and filled it with some artificial cotton plant stems.


I also had a set of pretty glasses that I thought went perfectly with the overall look of the table.


All winter long I had wanted to do an outdoor tablescape featuring the snow that filled my yard.  I thought a winter table filled with winter things would be so cool, especially considering how we have been meeting outside so much because of the pandemic. For some reason, however, I never got around to it.  The biggest inspiration for my fictional tablescape, other than the snow, were these faux fur fabric remnants I had purchased a few years ago.  I thought they were pretty neat and since it is still chilly outside I decided to use them as cushions for the picnic bench seating in my current tablescape.  


Everything started coming together.

I used some plastic eggs placed in hard boiled egg holders for the center of the table setting.  I also used "gold" silverware to add some elegance to the table.


For the centerpiece I simply laid down some Easter basket grass and placed my Washi eggs and some other colorful eggs I had in my stash in the middle of the grass.


I love this side of my yard because I have a view of the small pond across the street.  I am not really sure why the house wasn't orientated that way when it was built.  It is such a soothing setting.  The road in between my house and the pond could have had something to do with it :).  I still like the view anyway.







If Easter turns out being a warm, sunny day, we might just be able to get away with eating Easter dinner on the picnic table.  But, with New England weather you never know!


Enjoy!!!
