Celebrating Easter with my family is one of my favorite days all year. I love the touch of warmth in the air and the feeling of new life all around us.Hosting Easter lunch after church is a big tradition for our family. Todd and his Dad hide Easter eggs while the his Mom and I put the finishing touches on the food. Then we watch the boys go on their Easter egg hunt. And afterward, we come in and sit down for a delicious lunch.
I love the excuse to create a tablescape and a holiday is the perfect excuse! I’ve got a house full of family, delicious food, and I want my table to reflect how excited I am about the celebration.
Over the years, I have collected a few different Easter decorations. I have these fun pastel eggs that I always use on the table. This year I found the adorable hydrangea bunnies and wanted to add those to the table. I like to run out to the craft store to find some spring-colored ribbon to add to whatever glass containers I’m using.
And I love that I can just run to the grocery store to find beautiful, fresh flowers. The pink tulips are absolutely beautiful and are the perfect pop on my table!
I picked up these fun multi-colored gingham napkins at the store for such a low price and knew that they would be the perfect way to dress up my table while still keeping it fresh and approachable.
I love the perfectly coordianted line of Chinet® Cut Crystal® premium disposable tableware. The matching plates, cups, and cutlery are convenient to use and disposable, but they are beautiful! The line is stylish and the crystal clear design features a unique swirl pattern to complement any table setting.
I love that the Chinet® Cut Crystal® tableware keeps my table looking fresh and beautiful, but that I don’t have to deal with hand-washing dishes when we’ve finished our meal. I want the freedom to play outside with my kids and look through their Easter baskets.
I put together a Pinterest board for some inspiration in putting together a perfectly coordinated spring party. The Chinet® Perfectly Coordinated Pinterest board has tons of great ideas! The clear plates are a beautiful blank canvas and easily coordinate with my decor. It also perfectly coordinates and complements everything on the menu.

I love your table. I am definitely borrowing the idea of the ribbon around the glass containers.
I have children’s tablecloths from PB for the 3 big holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. I use fresh flowers also to make everything feel fresh. Tulips are my favorite to use, too.
Thanks for the giveaway!
This is a great post! I enjoy seeing your decorations! And I have already decorated for Easter! I have a hydrangea bunny too. I wish I could find more! Where did you find yours?
I love your table! Thanks for the ideas. I think fresh flowers are a must for a put together look!
I love having a pretty wreath (or other door ornament) and tying it into my table centerpiece. Lots of times, the ribbon on the door will match the ribbons aroudn my napkins and flower vases. Great giveaway. These are the perfect way to spend Easter with family rather than cleaning dishes!!!
Your table is beautiful and fun! For the first time in years, the WHOLE family will be in town for Easter, and it will probably be the last holiday in mom and dad’s current house, before a big move. I can’t wait to pull the beautiful ideas from your tablescape and the yummy recipes from Every Day Cheer all together for a fun Eater celebration. Mom and Dad have a beautiful backyard, and the hubbies love to hide eggs while we get lunch finished up. I can’t wait to have the entire family together!
Wait. Is that for real your chandelier? Off to die of jealousy…..
Love fresh flowers and I’m definitely want to go chinet this year! I always worried with paper plates they’d be too flimsy, but I have too many people coming to use real dishes this year! Thanks so much for the reminder!
Love your Easter table! You are so talented! I pinned a couple of your pics.
I love fresh flowers and ribbon, colorful place mants & napkins. I love that the Chinet is clear so the place mats shine! I love that they are disposable for quick and easy parties!! And affordable!!
Love your table setting. I love that the chinet dishes are clear so your place mats shine thru. Love to use pretty place mats & napkins. I love that the Chinet dishes are affordable and throw away for quick clean up.
Your table is beautiful! I like to use a pretty neutral base (the same white plates and green cloth napkins) and then get fresh flowers and other accents to reflect the season or celebration. Your tulips are beautiful! For Easter I love tulips or hydrangeas. You are definitely putting me in the mood for Easter lunch!
Love your Easter tablescape! I don’t know that my occasions are perfectly coordinated (ever) but I do love to have people in my home…any excuse to have a party right? I’m actually having some girl friends over this weekend. One of my very best friends is getting married in a few weeks. We are going out to dinner and then everyone is coming back to my house for dessert, drinks and lingerie. I plan for my tablescape to be fun and girly. It helps me to pick a color scheme and then see what I have already on hand. From there I’ll pick up things as I need them and I always try to buy pieces that I can use again for another event/party. Adding ribbon, flowers, or some other kind of decoration can always change up a design.
I am a minimalist and love neutrals. I try and keep things pretty simple- burlap table runner, all white dishware and then add in a pop of color with my flower arangements, centerpieces or napkins. It’s easy to swap those things out for seasons or holidays

With no family in town, we don’t always get the chance to celebrate the “big” occasions at our house. Easter will be quiet for us this year, but we’ll still do something fun for the boys. My best tip for a coordinated table is to make sure that when you register for dishes, you get white ones! Then you can just add festive salad plates, napkins, or other table accessories to make the white plates seasonally appropriate. It’s worked well for us!
I love the clear table accessories. I think fresh flowers keep things pretty and classy.
Where did your dining room table from?
Where did your dining room table come from?
I love the clear plates – what a great idea to show off the colors of everything else AND you can really get clean up over and done with! I love coordinating with themes – especially colorful, pastel ones. Must be why Easter is my favorite. 🙂
Is this a joke? Are you really serving your Easter lunch on plastic plates?
I like to use hurricanes with seasonally appropriate filler, festive table runners/napkins, and colorful flower arrangements.!
I’m with you- I pick stuff that I already have like glass containers then just update it for the occasion/color scheme with ribbon and then gorgeous flowers. Love the table!!
Cute table! I like to add pops of color and I have my young girls help me. That always make things a little more special!
So cute! Love the tulips!

The table is beautiful!! And that makes clean up so easy. Win win!
I love how your table is decorated!! The colors look so bright and cheerful. Love the Chinet – makes for an easy cleanup!
Erin,
I am really surprised to see the sponsored chinet post. The plates look like they come from the dollar store.
Why on earth would you not use the beautiful Juliska dinnerware you have? I dont mind sponsored posts per se, but this offended me.
I like to include a table runner and fresh flowers.
beautiful centerpiece with fresh flowers, nice napkin holders, and lots of pastel colors.

Love how you decorated your Easter table! For those commenting on why plastic dinnerware sometimes its just not feasable to use real plates. These look better than white paperplates and red plastic cups. I come from a family of twelve factor in spouses and kids and that number quickly multiplies. So yes we always use Plastic plates/cups for our holidays.
I usually go to a craft store and get little touches of color in the party’s theme. You don’t have to completely cover everything with your party’s colors, but little touches here and there look just as lovely.
I like how you used clear plates — that really lets the other coordinating features pop.
when you have to serve large groups of people it’s great to have a good looking option other than the traditional red/blue solo cup and paper plate, the clear plates are that good looking option! They really will coordinate with anything else you have on hand.
I am horrible at coordinating my table for special occasions and look to blogs like yours for inspiration! Love your table!
I try to choose a limited color palette or theme and then let my creativity go wild!
I go on Pinterest to get ideas and I like to color coordinate everything.
I usually do a fun themed dessert table!
The table looks lovely but let’s be honest…. It’s the Chandy ( and rug!!!) that steal the show! 🙂 gorgeous!!!!! Can’t wait for your home tour 🙂

I buy solid colored napkins and other party supplies so I can use them for any occasion. Birthdays, showers, easter parties. The trick is not to be too focused on a particular event. Then the leftover items can be used for another time.
fresh flowers always bring a table alive. i love your use of ribbon around a vase/jar.
Family is about the only thing that coordinates my table! I rarely have anything put together as cute as what you’ve done, but I love it!
I think of a theme a head of time and then plan from there with some key pieces that really make it all fit together! Oh, and pinterest helps!

I make our occasions perfectly coordinated by choosing a theme, choosing colors in the theme and sticking with those for everything, including center pieces. If it’s a holiday and I don’t want to be traditional I come up with idea, then stick with three basic colors.
This is adorable – I coordinate by picking a theme, and trying to match my plate colors to the decor!
I like to make my occasions perfectly coordinated by using flowers and balloons ( mostly for kids) to help in themes.

I actually do not strive for coordination when entertaining, when it comes to setting the table; I like mismatched napkins, bowls, plates, goblets, etc., if find it more interesting to look at. I do like coordination when trying to get the food on the table at the same time so everyone can eat at the same time at the table.

Your table is lovely! Tulips are my favorite flower-they just say “spring” to me. I’m not very good at coordinating table décor, but one thing I do is use white plates and serving pieces. Everything goes with them, and they work for all seasons by adding colorful napkins and glassware.

I love the colors aqua and green, so those are already used throughout my house so when planning events, I usually gravitate toward those colors as well, so I can make use of things I already have. I love that the Chinet options don’t clash!
I plan ahead and gather things way ahead of time.

I try to stick with neutral colors so that I can mix and match for different occasions. I coordinate the plates to match the napkins and the flowers. I keep a base set of grey/silver and beige items and then will buy a few items such as glasses or flowers that are brighter colors.

Choose a theme and colors first. I usually choose 3 colors, 2 are predominant and one is for accent. Then look around for all the items you have in these colors so you don’t have to buy much. The same thing goes for theme. If you choose a floral theme, go thru your house and yard looking for things you already have that express that theme to put on your table. For a kid’s theme, try teddy bears or dolls, action figures, favorite movie and look for all the items you already have that express that theme and use them for decoration. Don’t buy anything till you know what you already have and what your theme and colors are going to be.
I pick a color theme and have it coordinate with everything.
austma7@aol.com
I pick one color and keep everything in some shade of that color.
I pick a theme and try to think of as many creative things as I can. Right now I’m planning my sons fourth birthday with a Marvel Superhero theme. It’s a lot of fun!
Those photos are gorgeous! I like to pick neutral colors with pops of bright colors for the accents.
I try to stick to a color theme and decorate the table with tablecloth, centerpiece and place settings in the same theme.

I tend to buy everything in shades of green and blue with some violet to mix, they all tend to blend nicely and pull a look together.
I pick neutral color combinations that will work well for most celebrations.
I don’t! I like the look of mismatched stuff. I try to get things in a similar color scheme (bold colors, or bright colors), but different colors and styles.
I like to pick out a printed plate and then I will buy the matching paper napkins in different solid colors
Would love to win 🙂

I stick to one theme and plan it out in my head days and weeks ahead..

I love prepping for parties… especially my daughter’s birthday parties. I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest. It takes me a long time to gather all of the items.
I do my best to try and coordinate what I already have. I try to stick with with matching colors and designs. I use a lot of reds and blues as those are the colors of my dining room. It’s fun around the July 4th. celebrations as it is easy to come up those colors.
Wow, stunning tables! However, for me, the perfect coordination is family and friends—an eclectic bunch!
I rarely do coordinate! However, I prefer neutral colored dishes so that I can add pops of color with linens and flowers.
How do you make your occasions perfectly coordinated?
I really think that your table says it all. I like to have bright colors and a fun table arrangement with either flowers or decor for whatever the occasion is.
We pick a theme and work together to achieve it.
I choose a theme and use 2 colors for the flowers, lighting, and serve ware..
I make my occasions perfectly coordinated by having someone else help me coordinate it. Decorating isn’t my strongest talent.
I work around two favorite colors depending what the season is.
Now that it’s spring/summer the colors will be yellow & green.
To fill in my plan I visit thrift shops!

My occasions perfectly coordinated? lololol! My dishes don’t match (I like it that way), and I use paper towels for napkins. My sister, on the other hand, has perfectly coordinated occasions. For a Christmas party she had, she bought some opaque tall glasses at the dollar store, and made cute vases with tall Christmas decorations-adorable!
I get my cousin always helps me coordinate
I choose two colors and decorate with those. It’s also nice to add fresh flowers!
I always choose a theme and take it from there. I also like to use some old and some new items.
I’m afraid my guests are forced to make do with what they get. Coordination is not my strong suit.
I just try to keep everything the same color scheme.
i have a centerpiece and fun little things at each persons plate like a bag of candy
I like to look in magazines and get Ideas for each season themes! change is good!
I buy color coordinated napkins and bowls and plates to make a great space.
I pick two colors or a theme and just stick to it!
I take extra napkins from McDonalds.
most of the kitchen items, dishware and serving pieces that i own are the same colors, so it is easy for me to coordinate.
I set my dining table with a themed matching set of linens and tableware, along with a beautiful centerpiece. I plan a themed menu and have a strategic guest list.
I start with simple white plates and add accents to my table.
We keep certain occasions perfectly coordinated by theme or color of decor. For example, we use a combination of red and blue tableware for the 4th of July.
I don’t coordinate. I don’t know why it just isn’t one of my talents.

i make my occassions coordinated by pre planning my party
I have a lot of items I use that are neutral based. This way I can add pops of color depending on the occasion and everything matches. It ends up looking very natural and fun.
I like to work in themes so that I can coordinate by that and be able to get a little free with color and not have to stick to one color. Although it is just as fun to try and stick with one color in many different shades too.
I coordinate by occasion theme first. Flowers are a mus!! ky_grandma40@yahoo.com
I have china from both of my Grandmothers as well as my own so my tablescapes are always a mix of them all. Lots of good memories.
I coordinate everything by making use of the red theme I already have, I buy red flowres and red flowered napkins, add some ribbons as napkin holders and I have a lovely table.
i choose 3-4 colors beforehand, and stick to them for decorating
I try to color coordinate my table décor for special occasions.
i pick a theme and organize.
I pick a theme and do games, decor and food all around it. Like a sea life theme would have shrimp,crab etc. to eat and ocean decor.

How do you make your occasions perfectly coordinated? Well I learned from my mother that every table is theme coordinated, from the table cloth to napkins to the centerpieces, to the candles, even to the flatware and which plate setting to use. I even like to coordinate down to my desserts. My husband says about me that it is all about presentation, presentation, presentation.
