If you're hosting an Easter brunch or elegant dinner this year, you know just how important it is to get your table decor just right. There's so much to consider, from settling on the perfect color palette (pastels are a no-brainer) to arranging eye-catching florals. That's why we've rounded up some of our favorite Easter table decor ideas for a celebration to remember.
You'll spot all kinds of fun DIYs that double as Easter crafts—think egg-shaped coasters, Peeps place cards, paper tulips , and even veggie centerpieces. The best part? There's something on this list for a range of decorating styles, whether you love traditional, modern, or farmhouse looks.
So, go ahead and grab your go-to Easter table linens, dishware, utensils, and glasses to set the foundation for your Easter table. Then rely on any of these creative ideas (some even include items you already own) to pull your Easter table setup together.
Create Paper Tulips
Obsessed with tulips? Then your Easter guests will be impressed by these paper beauties. To make the tulips, use colored crepe paper and paint paper mâché eggs to match it, then let dry completely. Cut flower petals from crepe paper (feel free to cut multiple sheets at once for efficiency). Stretch the petals gently to add natural curve and dimension. Glue petals to the base of each egg, overlapping them to fill any gaps. Let them dry.
Wrap length of floral wire with floral tape. Insert one end of the wire through the bottom of each egg flower, applying extra glue to secure it in place. Finish by attaching green crepe paper leaves.
DIY Egg Candles
Take a cue from Good Housekeeping's very own photographer, Mike Garten, and dream up these wax wonders for your Easter table. To make these candles, you'll need some blown-out eggs. Use a needle to puncture a small hole at the top of the eggshell for the wick. Make a quarter-size hole at the bottom with a spoon. Next, thread the wick through the top hole, keeping the metal base aligned with the bottom. Secure the wick by placing a small piece of softened wax at the top of the shell.
Make Bottle Brush Carrots
If you're hosting Easter brunch this year, have a little fun by adding a bunny-approved touch to every seat. Start by spray-painting bottle brush trees orange, and letting them dry. Then, use wire cutters to cut off the wooden base of each tree. Cut several strings of green raffia of equal length and hot-glue them to the remaining wire stem of each tree. Wrap another piece of raffia around the base, gluing it in place to finish the look. They're cute enough to reuse year after year!
Show off Egg Coasters
Wow guests and protect your Easter table with these DIY egg coasters, made from replacement glass for oval picture frames.
For the first step, you'll need to make sure the glass is completely clean then cut fabric 1” larger than the glass. Paint a generous amount of ModPodge on one side of the glass. Lay it on top of the fabric and smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles. (Be sure to cover your work station with wax paper or parchment to catch any excess ModPodge.) Next, cover with a heavy book and wait several hours for it to completely dry. Once it's dry, trim around the edge of the glass with fabric scissors.
Display an Easter Tree
Christmas isn't the only time to deck out a tree. Grab a few tall branches to hang your best Easter eggs. It's just the thing to amp up a buffet table.
Double up on Treats
From bunny-shaped chocolate to pastel-colored M&M's, treats can easily act as Easter decor. Here, blogger Michael used a mix of sweets to dress up pink and gold floral plates.
Try Peeps Place Card Holders
Easter celebrations aren't the same without Peeps in the mix. Put a smile on every guest's face with these adorable place card holders, crafted from polymer clay.
Weave in Mini Basket Nests
Feel free to trade the bunny decor this year for this look that's equal parts chic and playful. Blogger Giusti paired mint green chargers with gray placemats, then finished the arrangement with mini basket nests and paper bird eggs.
Repurpose an Egg Carton
Instead of throwing away paper egg cartons, turn them into a chic centerpiece. First, cut egg cups in groups of four and paint them a solid color (we suggest white). Arrange them into a circular wreath shape, then fill the cups with flowers, eggs, or pastel-colored candies.
Decorate With Fresh Eggs
Real or faux, turn eggs into tabletop decor. A few ideas include painting guests' initials onto hard boiled eggs to act as a place setting and arranging dyed eggs onto candlestick holders.
Weave in Pretty Pinks
From the linen napkins used to the small plastic eggs scattering the table, this adorable setup is all about pretty pink accents.
Add a Pop of Plaid
Make a statement with a pastel plaid tablecloth, then keep it simple with place settings. This display features a solid light green plate with a treat-filled carrot cone and a few chocolate eggs.
Draw Inspo from Mother Nature
Take a stroll around town to collect some birch branches and recreate this nature-inspired place setting. These place card nests also have moss, pussy willows, and faux quail eggs.
Keep It Modern and Minimal
If your aesethic strays neutral, keep it elegant with white and gray dinnerware and pops of rustic wood and fresh greens. For a subtle festive touch, add a wooden egg to each dinner plate.
Turn Veggies Into a Centerpiece
Seasonal produce—cabbage leaves, peas, or root vegetables like carrots, radishes, and turnips—can act as decorative vases. Just use a rubber band to secure veggies around a glass jar, then add pretty ribbon to disguise the rubber band.
Start With Basics, Then Layer
This pretty spring arrangement has all of the essentials—like the beautiful pink dinnerware and rose gold silverware, plus elevated pieces like fresh flowers, bunny ear napkins, and gold-handled marble trays.
Layer in Vintage Details
Keep it traditional with a bunny-filled tablescape, from ceramic bunnies holding name cards to the tiered rabbit tray filled with sweet treats.
Fold Napkin Bunny Ears
Impress everyone at your Easter gathering with these adorable bunny ear napkins. To create, fold a cloth napkin in half to make a triangle, then roll it into a long strip and fold it in half again. Thread a pipe cleaner through a bead and secure it around the napkin, then insert 3" pipe cleaners through the beads to resemble whiskers.

Make a Wood Table Runner
With rectangle wood pieces and yellow spray (plus a drop cloth to cover your work station), you can recreate this sunny table runner. Just give the pieces plenty of time to dry before arranging them in your desired pattern.
Create Bunny Tail Place Settings
To recreate this playful place setting, write your guest's name on a cardstock circle in bold letters. Glue on a pom-pom for the bunny tail and criss-cross two pampas stems to act as bunny ears.
