Easter is almost upon us! For those who celebrate, the holiday is regarded as a time of renewal, a time to rejoice. And what better way to bring in the positive energy than a shared meal with loved ones.
A commonly adopted Easter tradition is the annual family lunch or dinner. And for those who host, the table setting is considered an important celebration factor. The right décor can set the tone for a festive and joyful celebration. From pastel hues to whimsical bunny accents, there are countless ways to create a stunning Easter tablescape.

Here, we run you through our top six table setting tips that will help you impress your guests and make your Easter celebration truly unforgettable.
1. Choose a colour palette
Easter is synonymous with light-coloured pastels. As such, when approaching your table setting, stick with a colour scheme that reflects the spirit of Easter. Light-toned yellows, blues, greens and pinks are a popular choice, however, feel free to veer from the typical with bold hues. Alternatively, a sleek monochromatic theme also works well.
To nail your colour scheme, start with the table linens and build from there. In this example, we’ve opted for a neutral, pastel theme.
