How To Perfect A Scandinavian Easter

Easter time usually consists of a typical pastel colour palette favouring daffodils and bright coloured bunnies for Easter egg hunts. But what about a more grown up colour palette? After all Easter is not just for kiddies hunting for eggs in the back garden, it's about family time and celebration for all ages. Scandinavian style is the perfect neutral and elegant way of decorating for Easter around your home. It's simple and effortless to create a beautiful Easter table layout and centrepiece to entertain all your guests.

For the show stopping centre piece having favoured Scandinavian branches with decorated neutral and monochrome eggs hanging delicately off the branches will really add character to your space. Placed in an oversized hand crafted imperfect glass vase, this centrepiece will get even more attention. Dot marble patterned candles around to let your centre piece shine throughout the night.

The Easter table is one of the most important yet challenging parts of Easter to put together. One- guests have got to actually see each other on the table. Two- guests need room to pass each other items. And three- obviously need room for the food! Those hot cross buns are wanted on draft and there needs to be enough space. The most vital advice I can give is DO NOT overcrowd the table. Yes, eggs may look cute scattered around but it's best to place them in one area or a bowl so guests aren't scared to actually reach over for the salt and pepper. A woven hessian table runner or plain coloured table cloth is all your need to add colour and life to your table. Let the cutlery and fine china take the limelight to save you adding extra accessories. 

No Easter is complete without eggs of course! After all its the egg which is the whole symbol of the celebration. Eggs already have colours of tan and white with little imperfections making every single one unique and different which already fits into the Scandinavian style nicely. However dressing your eggs up with handmade wire bunny ears, speckled paint, matte black paint, monochrome pattern and words brings sophistication and a well loved sense of character and cuteness.
