This Easter I decided to move dinner out of the formal dining room and into the sun room. I believe in decorating with your surroundings not against them, so I went with a yellow and green floral theme that matched the window treatments. The runner on the table is the same fabric as the window treatments that I had left over. I found a great deal on some yellow buttons that I glued to ribbon for napkin rings. I even happened to have a yellow and green pitcher with four glasses on the drink bar. The kids table was pink and green. Some adorable scrapbook paper was used for napkin rings. Foam sticky letters on plastic eggs for place cards. Everyone even adults like place cards so for any dinner with more than six guests I would use some. I kept the centerpieces low so that we could talk easily across the table. I filled a glass bowl with rocks and flowers. I was originally going to add water and floating candles, but at the last minute did not because it was so bright in there. It was a beautiful sunny day and we could really relax and enjoy the view.
Welcome

Easter
I have seen different families create a wide variety of Easter tables from very elegant brunches to kid centered fun. These pictures come from the year I decided to make an Easter dessert table for the children. Dinner was served outside where the hunt took place. Children came inside to find all the treats we couldn't hide in the eggs. Since this year I have certainly did many elegant tables. However, I enjoyed making all the sweets too. My favorite was the jelly bean napkin rings.
