Easter Nest Centerpiece and Tablescape
I decided to do a natural "Easter nest” centerpiece for the week of Easter. Using a woodland theme, I wanted the centerpiece to look like you found it while walking in a lush forest. I am using plants that will go in my flower beds as soon as it is warm enough.
You can use a basket or tray container to put the plants in and cover the sides with moss, or make the nest directly on the table, just be sure to put a waterproof liner under the plants to protect the table.
I started with a roll of moss, found at a local nursery. I didn’t want to use moss the entire length of the table so I cut it to make a base for my nest. Using Fuldaglut Stonecrop, a Sedum ground cover for my basket and adding grapevine, ivy, and ribbon to fill in. The center was left open to place the téte á téte for a burst of yellow color.
Adding a few sweet collectibles tucked into and around the nest and I’m finished. So easy and so pretty, perfect for Easter.

Beautiful centerpiece Emily...love love your hutch!!
ReplyDeleteEmily, this is one of the prettiest centerpieces I've seen. I love the idea of using potted plates surrounded by the ivy and twig wreath. Great idea! I put this on my Easter inspiration board. It all looks charming with the ribbon and special little treasures added. Not surprising I also have the Herand cat and mouse, though my pieces are both in the blue.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration, my friend!
Hi Emily! This is certainly an enchanted woodland where one can walk and come upon gorgeous Herend animals and enamel boxes! And I love the twig bunny. This is wonderful!! I used my Halcyon eggs too on my table last week. Don't you just love the detail on those pieces? While you're passing me some dinner please pass that lamp too. I have the perfect place for it! :) Linda
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post! I love your ideas! The hutch is simply charming...thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine ANY way this could be lovelier! Every detail is beautiful, elegantly but warmly executed and so filled with the joy and magic of Easter and spring that it makes my heart sing! I am simply enchanted! If our holiday was half as beautiful as your table setting, you had a magnificent day!
ReplyDeleteSo much beauty here. I love your center-piece.

I think I spotted Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck! So very pretty. I love the natural look with the vines, cabbage and daffodils. It all came together and belongs on the cover of a magazine!
