  • You can have a beautiful centerpiece for your Easter table with spending lots of money on a floral arrangement. This page provides tips and ideas for how to make an Easter centerpiece.

  • Introduction

    • A centerpiece provides the finishing touch to your table, bringing the Easter theme into the dining room. You can use materials such as eggs, candy, and flowers to quickly and easy decorate your holiday table.

  • Step 1: Easter Centerpiece Overview

  • Think Eggs

    • Easter is all about eggs. You can use the eggs that you so carefully colored and decorated with the kids as an attractive centerpiece for your table.
    1. Arrange the eggs in a bowl or basket, on a bed of Easter grass, if desired.
    2. Create a nest for the eggs by positioning a grapevine wreath on a plate, and filling the center with moss. Place the eggs on top of the moss.

  • Think Candy

    • Candy is a quick and easy way to create a centerpiece for an Easter table.
    1. Fill a decorative bowl or basket with Easter candy, and set it in the middle of the table.
    2. Use the table itself as the base of your centerpiece. Spread Easter grass along the midline of the table, and scatter jelly beans and chocolate eggs on top of the grass.
    3. Purchase a large Chocolate Easter Bunny, and stand him in the center of a platter. Cover the platter with Easter grass, and smaller chocolate bunnies. Add jelly beans, peeps, and foil wrapped chocolate eggs for color.

  • Think Flowers

    • There are lots of ways you can use flowers as a centerpiece. You don't need to purchase an elaborate arrangement, however. Even if you are not an experienced flower arranger, you can use a few simple techniques:
    1. The simplest way is just to purchase a bouquet and place it in a vase on the table.
    2. For a dressier presentation, that's in keeping with the Easter theme, you can combine eggs and flowers:
      1. Gather a bowl, some white eggs (uncooked are fine), and flowers with a thick stem (tulips work well). You'll also need scissors to trim the stems of the flowers.
      2. Fill the bowl with the eggs, and then fill with water.
      3. Insert the flowers in between the eggs, trimming stems if needed.

  • Step 2: Easter Centerpiece Tips

    1. Use pastels or natural colors.
    2. Watch the height of the centerpiece; you want to make sure people can see each other to facilitate conversation.
    3. Make use of natural materials.
