Setting a Purple Easter Table: Spring Decor

Last year I did a post on different Easter Tablescapes To Try, so this year I decided to add one more to the list. I chose purple + berry (pink) as my color palette, and really love how the colors worked together. They are a perfect spring table pairing and work well with valentines day decor also. You can easily tweak a couple of accessories and leave it out the entire season. Setting a Purple Easter Table: Spring Decor.

How to Set a Purple Easter Table: Spring Decor

I love to decorate my dining room all year long, so basically it’s a revolving door of different colors and holiday decor. But this can get expensive – very quickly.

So I try to come up with a color palette each year for the entire spring season. One that will take me from Valentine’s Day, right into spring time, and then finally into Easter.

This year I decided on purple and berry, and I was able to use a lot of things I already owned! Win- Win!

Let’s get to it!

How to Set a Purple Easter Table: Spring Decor

#1 Use Scrapbook Paper as Placemats

Using different patterned pieces of scrapbook paper is an easy and inexpensive way to bring in purple to your Easter Table.

I have purple stripes, polka dots and gingham check for mine. But you can keep them all the same too.

Here is a before picture. Of course my Boomer has to be involved in the process 🙂

And after.

#2 Add a Berry-Colored Ribbon to Centerpiece

Remember the wreaths with the berry- colored ribbon I used for our fall dining room? I used a couple of those ribbon pieces to weave into the Easter table centerpiece.

It adds just a little color to the greenery, and blends in with the purple “placemats” without being too matchy-matchy.

#3 Add Purple Votive Candles

Sometimes, even a small accessory makes a big statement. These 4 little lavender votive candles add just a sprinkle of color to the linen table runner, and merge the other shades of purple together.

I found these little beauties at the dollar store. Aren’t they just precious?

#4 Use Berry-Colored Egg Candles

These sweet little egg candles are perfect for the Easter tablescape because they change the table from a spring table to an Easter table.

I also found these candles at the dollar store. Sweet and simple.

#5 Use Purple Stemmed Wine Glasses

Try adding purple or berry-colored wine glasses to your table decoration, either at the stem or the bowl. It just adds a little shimmer to the table centerpiece, and adds height as well.

I found four of these at Home Goods, and used 2 similar clear ones at the captain’s chairs table settings.

TIP: Don’t be afraid to mix-n-match dishware or stemware. It makes the table decor more interesting, and less formal.

#6 Use a Berry-Colored Wreath

I chose this berry-colored wreath because it has 4 different shades of purple/pink in it. This wreath ties in all of the other shades I am using: purple, lavender, berry, and taffy.

Since this wreath was just a little too dark for our space, I decided to add a white ribbon and the white metal wreath (from our fall dining room chairs) to it.

#7 Use Lavender Floral Stems

The easiest way to add purple or lavender to your Easter or spring tablescape is by using flowers.

If you have a little extra money or are having a dinner party, buy fresh flowers. If you are just setting up your table for looks, faux floral stems or arrangements are fine.

I use these 2 lavender allium stems all the time. They are from Pier 1, but discontinued – sorry!

Purple tulips and purple hydrangeas are also a classic choice for a traditional Easter table.
