How to Set a Beautiful Table with Easter Colors
I am so excited to share my Easter ideas for my Easter brunch table. I love the bright Easter colors, and can’t wait to share the florals, table setting, and fun glassware.
Easter Brunch is one of my favorites. Be sure to check back on Friday when I will share all of my favorite Easter Brunch recipes. Today, I set the table and I love how these Easter colors and flowers created the most gorgeous table.
To set this table I “shopped my home” and found almost everything I needed. My best friend Mary Liz and I took a quick trip to the Los Angeles Flower Mart yesterday morning and we found the most gorgeous flowers! I will share more about our flower-shopping trip in a bit.
Let’s talk more about this wonderful table!
Easter Table Theme Ideas
I love having a theme for my tables, even when they are just based on color. For this table, I knew I wanted to use Easter colors. I decided to use the pink and purple shades of Easter colors and add an unusual stainless feature with my chargers and vases.
Unique Florals
My “vases” are vintage and they are “calf buckets” that I got from a friend of mine. Patrick, from Through the Porthole, sent me some of these buckets and told me to use them in any way I saw fit.
Originally I was going to plant flowers in them and hang them on the side of a trellis (they have a side hanger on each bucket). For this table, I was originally going to paint the buckets in pastel colors. But I decided to keep them their natural tin color and I am so happy I did!
Layer Texture
Layering textures is something that made this table pop. The hyacinth placemats mixed with the galvanized chargers and buckets balanced the delicateness of the cranberry glasses, goblets, and lace napkins. The textures complement each other so well!
I also like how they create a more casual look for my table. I want this brunch with my family to be fun and relaxing. Not too stuffy! Haha.
Cranberry Glassware
My Easter colors are fun and lighthearted and casual. The cranberry glass because it brought out the bright pinks in the flowers and well, it just pops.
I am so happy that I started collecting cranberry glass about twenty years ago. I wrote a blog post about Collecting Cranberry Glass and one about Collecting Pink Glassware.
About a month ago I added a few pieces of Cranberry glass to my collection. See the vintage cranberry water glasses on this table? I bought eight more on Etsy to match the ones I already owned! I found them for $8.00 each!
How much fun are these small pots with eggs nestled into them to add a touch of Easter? Scroll down for the DIY on how I made these. (They started as terra cotta tiny pots.)
The eggs are white wooden eggs and /I decorate them all of the time.
On this blog, I may sometimes use affiliate links, which means a small commission is earned if you purchase via the link. The price you pay will be the same whether you use the affiliate link or go directly to the vendor’s website using a non-affiliate link.
I do love how my table matches my rug perfectly! I promise I didn’t do it on purpose but I love this Alexander Home Annabel Botanical rug so much! It is amazing.
This table is so perfect for Easter Brunch!
Now I just need my children to all come home for Easter!
Aren’t these little painted pots just adorable with the eggs?

Easter Brunch Flowers from the LA Flower Mart
As I mentioned, we went to the flower mart yesterday in downtown Los Angeles. I really want to try to go at least twice a month. It’s that good, I promise!
If you live in the LA area, then you need to be sure to check out the LA Flower Mart. We left my home at 7:40 and we were shopping by 8:00 am. It costs $2.00 to get into the Flower Mart and parking is fairly easy. The prices are amazing and plentiful!
The Flowers We Used
We bought these flowers in shades of pink, white, and purple. (There are a few others but I don’t know the names!)
- Anemones
- Tulips
- Roses
- Ornamental Kale
- Ranunculus
- Calla Lillies
- Eucalyptus
- White and Purple Wax Flower
We cut the stems of the flowers and then divided them into three pots.
Next, gather them in your hands, check the length, and tie a loose string around the base.
Set them in the vase (or metal calf bucket, in my case), and move them around. If necessary, add more flowers along the side.
I placed glass vases inside these buckets because I was pretty sure they weren’t watertight. They are old! But I love them so much.
How to Make a Vintage Looking Flower Pot
I bought these small terracotta pots and wanted to paint them. You might recall my blog post from earlier in the week titled How to Make Vintage Garden Pots. I painted pots with Garden Lime.
That’s all I did! It takes about two minutes to paint one of these pots. I sanded them a bit and then spray-painted them with a matte sealer.
All of the directions can be found here.
I just love how these came out.
Frequently Asked Questions
I never know what I am going to buy. I usually walk around the flower mart for about ten minutes to get ideas for my flowers. Then I go back and start buying small bouquets. I always make sure the flowers coordinate well together.
The key is to change the water. That is because fresh water will keep cut flowers alive longer. Take the flowers out of the vase every two days. Rinse out the vase and change the water.
I love this photo show much. Look at the reflection in the knife blade!

Gorgeous! The flowers are so amazingly beautiful. Unfortunately I don’t have a large city nearby with a flower mart so I’ll have to improvise. It becomes a little more challenging but I’m always up for the challenge. Thanks for the inspiration. Love your work!!
Thank you so much Michelle! Not as many choices as the Flower Mart, but Trader Joes usually has a pretty good selection to choose from if there is one nearby!
It looks beautiful Leslie! Love all the spring flowers from the mart. The pink is lovely. Makes for a happy table.
Thank you Linda! Aa trip to the flower mart always makes me so happy!
Where did you purchase the small pots you used at each place setting. I like them bc they
don’t have a wide rim at the top.
Your table settings and flowers are beautiful. I’d eat Easter lunch at your house any day. I like you, want all my peeps home for Easter.
I got the pots at Home Depot. Recipes for brunch tomorrow!
