Potted Easter liliies are in abundance this time of year. But white lilies are also wonderful for floral arranging and look absolutely stunning in blue and white Chinese porcelain.

Setting the Easter Table - Alabaster Eggs

Alabaster Eggs


Alabaster eggs, notably crafted in Volterra, Italy, are traditional decorative items often hand-carved from gypsum, with a history rooted in centuries-old Italian artisan techniques. Known for their translucency and soft, stone-veined texture, these eggs became popular as artistic, durable, and sometimes colorful, lasting alternatives to traditional Easter eggs.

These eggs are typically mined from alabaster stone deposits, which are often found at the bottom of lakes or ponds. The material is relatively soft, allowing it to be hand-carved, polished, and frequently dyed to achieve various colors, including white, cream, tan, pink, and gray.

Eggs made from stones like marble and alabaster are tied to traditions of giving, stemming from the custom of gifting decorated, hard-boiled eggs for Easter. They symbolize rebirth and new beginnings.

Cabbage Ware For Setting the Spring Table

Dillard's Southern Living Collection Cabbage Ware Vases

 
Happy March! March is a favorite month for me. My darling pup Harper turns eleven this week, my birthday is in a couple of weeks, and I got married in March. This Spring, cabbage ware is going to be a huge trend for setting the table. And it mixes so well with blue and white Chinese pattern china.

The Wicker Vase

Scalloped Wicker Vase

About once a year Target comes out with a great wicker vase that I post on. And I always suggest you find a clear glass cylinder vase at Dollar Tree or wherever so it will hold water.

Easter Vignettes @ CCC

CCC

 
This is a favorite Easter vignette at CCC with Chinoiserie Chic and Palm Beach style. The "basket" is a signed Sarah Bray bamboo bucket handbag. I removed the blue and white ikat liner and filled it with seashells including lots of pink sea urchins. Next to it is a set of pink linen paddleball cocktail napkins.

Setting the Easter Table with Chinoiserie

Serena Fresson

 
If you are looking for last minute inspiration for setting the Easter table, here is a wonderful example. At the grocery store, grab cut and potted flowers - tulips, lilies, hydrangeas, muscari, hyacinth, roses, ranunculus - whatever you like. Use all white for a sophisticated and cohesive look. Pastels also work beautifully for the Easter table.

Setting the Easter Table

Rachel R. Simon

 
I saw this on Instagram and think it is a whimsical idea for a centerpiece for the Easter table. It would be perfect for Easter brunch. I plan to get fresh carrots with their tops on today or tomorrow and try this myself. I love it paired with the green leaf china. Cabbage ware would be fabulous too.
