I love the soft colors of an Easter celebration. Mint greens and pale pinks work wonderfully with crisp whites, and look so cheery together.
Everything on the table is also vintage from the bottom up. Or top down! Whichever way you want to look at it. Starting with a quilt as a tablecloth. I decided to cue all the colors from there.
White and cream plates with just a touch of leafy green keep the elements soft. I've mixed the flatware to keep it interesting.
I was thrilled to be able to set up on the patio to catch the late afternoon light. It was a beautiful warm spring day.
The roses and tulips are holding up pretty good, and I've enjoyed seeing them in my zinc flower bucket and ironstone pitcher all week. I went to PB today and was inspired once again by how BIG the elements on their tables are and decided to imitate that.
A tall centerpiece works well outdoors anyway, and I wanted to use lots of garden elements.
I've also made a big statement with the favors using large peat pots with vintage lace napkins and speckled eggs in the center of the place setting.
Vintage glassware is Fostoria Americana.
I have a couple chippy screen doors leaning in the patio that I use for display everywhere. They give a cozy country cottage feel wherever they are.
A few extra ironstone pitchers round out the centerpiece and hold the linen napkins.
Bird's-eye view!
The paper rose placecards are actually Wallies wallpaper embellishments from the craft store.
Here they are laid together on the table. There are tons of things you can do with them.
My vintage quilt comes out mostly on holidays. I used it on the table at Christmas too.
A pewter lidded jam/mustard pot is a gift from dear friends, and perfect for an Easter table.
.
Here it is to scale with my new vintage silver and mother of pearl shakers.
I tried really hard to capture the texture and sheen for you, but didn't quite get it!
Thanks so much for stopping by for a peek!
I hope your Easter is wonderful!

Beautiful! Timely too.... I was trying my hand at bunny folds for napkins - FAIL. So I see your vintage cutouts, and thinkI'm gonna print out some vintage bunny faces and lay them on top of a traditional fold.

This is a truly stunning Easter table, Jacqueline.
ReplyDeleteVERY well done, ma'am!
Joyous Easter blessings to you and yours!
Everything is so lovely and the screen door is the perfect backdrop.
ReplyDeleteI have been lurking around your blog for a while now and your photography is amazing. Today I love your favors so cute and the wallies are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jacqueline!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could set up an Easter table outside too, but after a period of warm and sunny days in March since April it's back to the cold days over here and Easter is promising to be even colder than Christmas this year argh
Nevertheless I wish you a very happy Easter celebration!

Jacqueline: I wondered how pretty your show and tell for Easter would be and I wasn't disappointed! Happy Easter to you and your family..Judy
ReplyDeleteI love the use of soft colors for Easter. What a beautiful table you have set! Happy Easter to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteQué preciosidad de mesa, me ha encantado, elegante y romántica.
ReplyDeleteSaludos desde España. Paloma.
What a beautiful table you created and that chippy door is the perfect backdrop!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you!
Oh wow! SO much beauty on this little table. What an inspiration you are.
ReplyDeleteYou really have the knack and beautiful things to put together. I had picked up a pack of six peat pots knowning I would use them for something other than planting in. They would have been perfect on the little outdoor table setting I did! Maybe next year. Your American pattern stemware is perfect for your setting, too.
ReplyDeleteBetty
what a delightful table setting! so sweet and refreshing! Joyeuse Paques! ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous table. Love the quilt, and the centerpiece is beautiful. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning! What a very beautiful Easter table setting, love the chippy door. I could so enjoy a warm spring breeze, sipping tea at that lovely table. Happy Easter my friend. Diane

ReplyDeleteHugs
It would be so nice to be able to eat outdoors again and of course I love tour tablescape too. The quilt is lovely.

Beautiful! I can imagine myself sitting there...so serene...love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Although we've probably seen a few of these elements before, it's always seems brand new. I especially LOVE the wrought iron chair. Easter Blessings.
ReplyDeleteIt's all pretty as a picture! I love the zinc pot with the roses in the mix... it's wonderful, and those roses are the best color. You've made me curious to go over to Pottery Barn and see their table settings, and the scale of things they are using, so that's exactly what i'm gonna go do!
ReplyDeleteCindy
So beautiful and so nice to be able to dine outdoors. I love the soft colours and the antique quilt. We are to get a good snowfall for Easter day apparently. :( No dining outdoors for a while yet! Have a blessed Easter! Hugs, Pamela
ReplyDeleteJacqueline,
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt used as a tablecloth! The garden elements are tranquil and calming. Pink & green hued accessories are always inspirational here on the Prairie! Have a blessed Easter, dear friend!
Fondly,
Pat
As I was reading your post, I was thinking, I need to ask her about her glassware, and just then I saw you wrote what it was!
ReplyDeleteI love your table. It's so beautiful and the colors are perfect for Easter!

You have created not only a beautiful table but an experience, beautiful, just beautiful. I love the use of the quilt (I would never be brave enough to risk a quilt!) and your Ironstone and Fostoria. Truthfully I love it all and have serious table envy.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteThis table is beautiful. I love the idea of using your vintage quilt as a table covering too. All of your pieces look wonderful together. I wish I was going to be sitting at this Easter table on Sunday. It's simply grand!
Happy Easter to you!!

A beautiful Easter table, Jacqueline! And how lucky you were to enjoy being outdoors on your patio. Those little S&P shakers would make wonderful vases for some violets. I hope you had a beautiful day.
