Easter Brunch Table


I hope you enjoy this reprised Easter table as I battle drywall dust today! Look for a new Easter table next week.


The bunnies have come out to play in this Easter tablescape.



The inspiration for this table are these happy blue and green polka dot egg plates (HomeGoods).


Some colors were just meant to be put together. Blue and green are perfect examples of this color pairing.

Alternating blue and green at each place setting brings interest to the table and keeps this springtime table fresh.








Round colorful straw placemats anchor each place. They remind me of the brim of a straw Easter bonnet.






The dinner plates and dessert plates are a leaf and berry design (HomeGoods). The accent plates are a soft blue.


 
The polka dot egg dishes are topped with a white egg cup holding a green speckled egg and a little white bunny sits quietly beside.


 A crisp blue and white floral napkin and a soft green linen-like napking (HomeGoods) are caught up together in a pewter bunny napkin ring. Using two napkins together gives a fancy and full look.


 



Green ball stem glasses (Target) await an Easter liabation.

White porcelain tea cups have a leafy pattern. (The Barn antiques) These are so delicate and have become my new favorite cup.




The centerpiece is a worn bunny planter holding a basket of bluebells. Doesn't he seem so happy to have a basket of blue spring flowers?



Moss and twigs are added for an earthy feel.



A light green pillar candle sits on top of a plastered white candlestick. Even though the table is set for brunch, lighting at least one candle makes for a more inviting atmosphere.



A tiny glass milk jug is used as a vase to hold  extra bluebells.



From the bunnies and me have a Happy and Blessed Easter!

  4. Yvonne, you always impress me with your taste and decor. Everything looks so beautiful. A friend of mine has free range chickens {I call them 'happy chickens'} and they lay eggs of all shades of green, beige and white. They're so pretty... Your green egg reminded me of my friend's "gentleman's farm" and her sweet chickens.

    I'm off now to read about your tutorial on the cherry blossom wreath and some of the other fun things here on your blog!
    Have a great week ~ blessings,
    Maria

  31. Yvonne,
    I am quickly stopping by this morning and I'll return later to study your table. But I had to tell you that we used these colors 39 years ago at my wedding. Your table is refreshing, to say the least.

    ReplyDelete
  62. What a gorgeous tablescape, Yvonne! (As always!) I especially love the bluebells. As I am typing this in the "pop-up" window I can see your delicious cinnamon buns over to the right underneath the pop-up window. Somehow I haven't even noticed them before and they are absolutely making me drool! Now I am craving them! Haha!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Yvonne, this is one of my most favorite tablescapes that you have done. I actually went looking for placemates like that this spring. I bought a few different colors, and used the blue ones in my Easter tablescape with yellow.

    You can see it here.

    I always know that there's a treat in store when I see "Stone Gable" at the blog party. You always put so much detail on a table, but you know just when to stop. This is so delightful. I'd love to share any meal with you, but this one is especially lovely.

    Hoping you're not working too hard on that remodel project. Take it easy & let the guys do it!!

  85. What a beautiful tablescape! The colors are wonderful. For some reason, when I think of Easter, I think of yellows and pinks. The blue, green and white are stunning. I am going to have to check this Home Goods store out. I just found all these wonderful blogs a few months ago, and never heard of it before then. I have since learned there is one in San Jose, so need to check it out. Also, there is no Target nearby, and I just love your glasses. I have been wanting a set just like them. I have found a whole new world in blogland; it is an adventure every day. Thank you so much for sharing. Debby

  86. Hi Yvonne, Your table is so elegant and fun at the same time. Blue and green together is a perfect pairing. Love the "straw hat" placemats on the table. I remember always getting a new straw Easter bonnet when I was little. My sisters and I also had a new Spring coat and gloves and a tiny purse to wear to church! I often wish we still wore hats, although I know in reality it would be just one more thing to think about in the morning! Beautiful table and I hope your dust settles soon. Linda

  106. Your table settings are among the most gorgeous I've seen. I'm a little confused. You may have said somewhere in you blog, but, my question is: When you pile 4-6 plates/dishes on top of each other to make a darling place setting, do you use all those dishes? Are they some of them just for looks? Is it confusing to your guests as to what they are suppose to do with all those plates and dishes? Either way......it's darling.... Please respond. Thanks, Terry Ann
