Create a nature-inspired Easter tablescape with wheatgrass peat pots, beautiful tulip arrangements and more Easter decorations!
Easter is just around the corner, and I thought it would be fun to create a new tablescape for our family gathering. After this long harsh winter, nothing makes me happier than seeing the freshness and vibrancy of green mixed with natural elements of Spring. This year’s Easter table is all about embracing simplicity.
Putting a table setting together for Easter can be cheap and cheerful. I always like to mix the old with the new in any decorating project to make it interesting and budget-friendly. It’s all about layering and using materials with different textures and tones.
Easter Tablescape How-to
I started with a basic runner that I created out of a piece of cotton canvas. Tearing the edges and putting it through the washer and dryer was all it took to get the natural feel I was going for.
I set the table with my existing dishes and flatware, and layered some new yellow and white striped linen napkins that I wrapped in a bee-printed cotton ribbon from May Arts.
I topped the napkins with simple peat pots that I filled with wheatgrass from the grocery store. Then, I embellished the pots with jute string and a flag I printed out and attached to a chopstick.
Here’s where you could mix it up a bit and use them as place card holders instead. I plan on sending these Easter peat pots home with everyone as a small gift.
Here’s the Easter printable I created in a soft mint colour that reminds me of spring.
Simply click the image to get the PDF (or go HERE), print on cardstock, cut out, fold in half and glue to a chopstick, skewer or popsicle stick.
For the flowers, I used my green glass bottles I picked up at a thrift shop and filled them with bright pink tulips for a pop of colour. I love how the light shines through the glass, bringing a bit of sparkle to the table.
In glass sugar bowls, I placed shredded paper to replicate a bird’s nest and added some chocolate truffles that look like eggs. My husband and son didn’t realize they were edible (chocolate filled with hazelnut cream- yum!) Perhaps we’ll keep that our little secret on Easter Sunday!
It’s so nice having this part of our Easter dinner all planned out. Now I just need to decide what’s on the menu!
Do you have your Easter tablescape planned out or do you throw it together last minute?

April 2014 at 9:01 amThanks Lucy. That’s too bad about your ribbon. You should see if you can still get it for a future project- it’s super cute!
Melissa says
April 2014 at 7:53 amWow! I love everything! The eggs & nest are my favourite but everything works so well together and looks so fresh and springlike without going cheesy Easter-like. And I must get that bee ribbon!! I’ve always been drawn to bee illustrations and found out a few years ago that my name means ‘honey bee’ in greek….so figures.
Shauna Oberg says
April 2014 at 9:06 amThat’s really cool about your name! Apparently mine means “gift from God.” Kinda hard to follow that one up, eh? Too funny…
Jo-Anna says

Shauna Oberg says
April 2014 at 8:59 amToo funny, Karen. I picked them up at Indigo. I bought them mostly because they’re pretty, but Darren and Hayden HAD to try one, and they are tasty!

April 2014 at 9:46 amI chuckled when I read that you were going for the ‘cheap and cheerful’ look but you are absolutely right. Your tablescape uses the simplest and most inexpensive items but is so stunning and tasteful. I love it. I’m going to check out the organic wheat grass. I love the look it creates.
