Blues and Branches: A Spring Tablescape

Kate with Centsational Girl set this beautiful blue and white table, complete with branches, butterflies, and some feathery friends for her family's Easter brunch.

Kate created this tablescape design with inexpensive elements and shares her tips and tricks with you on her blog! I love to read blogs of other party stylists that create and find inexpensive and DIY ways to add the perfect touch to their party decor, I get so inspired.

Read on to see some of my favorite tips from Kate!

I love how Kate created little nests by cutting grapevine balls in half, and filled them with Jordan almond "eggs" found in any craft store! Genius!

How cute are these little egg baskets?!? They were totally free!

Kate simply spray painted some plain plastic strawberry baskets she picked up from

the farmer's market with the some leftover paint. Then she wove a 5/8 teal ribbon

through them and added some shredded cardstock to form the bedding.

Add some chocolate eggs and you have yourself a darling Easter basket!

Between all her creative decorating ideas to save money, and treasures found at thrift

stores, Kate has set the most beautiful table on a dime. Congratulations!!

Clover and Eggs Easter Basket

This fanciful green meadow vignette seems a fitting home for a chocolate bunny.

His eyes (dabs of tinted royal icing) and bow-tie (ribbon with a glued-on rosette)

match his surroundings.

To assemble: set a plastic liner inside a vintage green basket, add some soil, and then plant a bed of clover. If you can't find a green basket, give a plain one a color wash.

For a basket that's deeper than about six inches, fill the bottom with crumpled-up kraft paper before putting in the plastic liner.

Nestle a collection of green-dyed blown-out eggs among the plants, then add green picot-edged silk ribbon bows to drape down the basket's sides.

Modern "Easter Has Spung" Party Theme

This modern "Easter Has Sprung" styled shoot and classic Easter Egg Hunt party was featured on Hostess with the Mostess and was created and styled by Anders Ruff Custom Designs.

There are so, so many creative details included that I could sit and gaze at this photo shoot for hours for inspiration! I think my favorite element is the paper parasols in coordinating colors hanging upside down (to symbolize April showers bring May flowers) over the bookcase.

Easter Candy Craft Ideas

These simple springtime decorations will satisfy your eye for style and your sweet tooth!

This Easter transform plain candy into eye candy with Good Housekeeping's fun

sugar-spun decorations. Here are a couple of my favorites.

CANDY LAND

How to: push branches into foam inside a white-chocolate basket and hang eggs by a

thread looped through the foil, elevate basket and surround with grass and Easter treats.

EGG-CENTRIC

How to: cut skewers into two-inch lengths, leaving one end sharp. Using a paring knife,

pierce the shells of speckled malted-milk eggs and insert skewer tips. Push candy into an

eight-inch roam ring; top with ribbon.

Wheatgrass Table Runner

Wheatgrass makes a wonderful Easter table runner or centerpiece and provides the perfect background for displaying decorated eggs, flowers, and chocolate bunnies.

You can either grow your own wheatgrass from seeds, which take a few days to sprout, and in about 10 days the grass will be ready to use as a decoration in your home....or you can simply buy trays of wheatgrass in whole food stores or floral designers.
