Creating a Stunning Easter Brunch Table Setting
If you wish to assemble a gorgeous Easter table arrangement, remember: Focus on the finer points. It’s not enough to just bring out the “fine china” (does anyone still use those?) and coordinating cutlery. Your table fabrics, centerpiece, and ornaments all contribute to the overall impression.
Given that Easter brunch is one of the few festivities enjoyed early to mid-day, the ambiance tends to differ. Unlike Christmas, there’s less sparkle and glitz, and fewer candles or twinkling lights. Instead, since the celebration occurs in full daylight, during a season heralding new beginnings, colors are generally more vibrant and the atmosphere more relaxed.
While you still strive for splendid decor and mouthwatering fare, Easter brunch seems to emphasize enjoyment over flawlessness.
Defining Brunch
The term “brunch” refers to a late-morning meal (though it can be enjoyed later) comprising a blend of breakfast and “non-breakfast” dishes.
The enduring Easter emblem, the egg, features prominently as both a decoration and a menu item at numerous Easter gatherings. The adaptable egg can be prepared in various ways, such as hard-boiled, devilled, fried, scrambled, or cooked in an omelet or casserole.
Accompaniments with a breakfast flair might include bacon, sausage, hash brown potatoes, fresh fruit, pastries, breads, rolls, pancakes, waffles, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and donuts.
However, brunch can also feature items typically served later in the day, like salads, raw vegetables, pasta, potatoes, ham, turkey, roast beef, or cold cuts.
Serving styles can differ as well. Given that Easter brunch is often more informal than Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, it’s entirely acceptable to simplify things by offering a buffet-style spread.
Begin with the Basics
The ideal method for planning your Easter table arrangement is to assess what you have and determine what else is necessary. Dinnerware and utensils are fundamental. So are glasses and serving pieces. If your collection is incomplete, consider borrowing items or expanding your collection. Don’t overlook thrift stores for some wonderful, budget-friendly options!
A table covering of some kind will safeguard your table’s surface and establish the tone for your brunch decor. Nowadays, however, a full tablecloth is simply one option. Contemporary table settings often use table runners, with or without placemats, to allow a table’s natural wood grain or live edge to be showcased.
Table Adornments
While paper napkins are handy, cloth napkins always enhance a table arrangement. Napkin rings are a delightful and attractive embellishment. If napkin rings are not in your collection, vibrant ribbon serves equally well. For a more neutral look, try using jute or twine. Alternatively, you can craft a quick DIY napkin ring set by threading colorful crystal or natural wooden beads onto a short length of elastic.
No napkin rings? No problem. Head to YouTube to learn “how to fold a napkin into an Easter bunny.”
Many hosts appreciate using place card holders to indicate seating. Social media is again a useful resource, brimming with ideas on how to craft Easter place cards from Easter eggs or paper cut-outs.and a variety of other components.
