tableware - easter Springtime tablescapes
For those who celebrate Easter, it typically falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the spring equinox. It marks the end of winter; the world is emerging from hibernation, and consumers are starting to think about summer entertaining…
T
he Easter bank holiday weekend is an opportunity for family and friends to gather to eat, drink
and socialise - and offers housewares retailers an opportunity to inspire their customers to invest in some updated springtime tableware.
Here, Annabel James (www.annabeljames.
co.uk), an online boutique selling home and garden accessories and gifts, shares some ideas on how to get creative with Easter decor and tableware - from decorative tin eggs (which open so you can pop a chocolate egg, a small gift or even a jewel inside) to floral arrangements to themed linen and paper napkins.
• Create an Easter tree. Fill a vase with branches from the garden - or gather from the woods - and add mini hanging tin eggs for an instant style update.
• Hang an Easter wreath. A faux succulent wreath in pastel shades, constructed on twigs, will instantly update your spring decor.
• Fill jugs with Spring blooms.
• Decorate your Easter table with themed crackers in spring pastel shades.
• Give the table a sophisticated Easter update with linen napkins in springtime designs.
• Display a basket filled with eggs - whether chocolate or from a chicken - to create an Easter feel.
• Tablescape - bunny napkins (pictured) automatically say Easter, and their cheerful bunny and yellow border will bring a smile to childrens’ faces. Scatter a few eggs around the table and fill small vases with spring flowers for an instant table update.
• Add a tin egg to each place setting - fill with chocolate eggs, a toy - or even a jewel. These medium tin eggs - available in four cheerful designs - can also be used in an Easter egg hunt, or placed around the house to add Easter atmosphere.
• Get a selection of matches - a great little gift for the adults as an alternative to chocolate - featuring rabbits, or chickens or yellow flowers.
• Centrepiece: Pop a test tube vase in the centre of the table, filled with spring blooms and place a candle in the middle, surrounded by moss and twigs.
