Spring has sprung and it’s time for some Easter party ideas! We’ve created a very colorful and charming Easter brunch to celebrate!! Sharing all of the details below! Also, check out our charming Easter brunch, the only Easter recipes you need, and the best brunch cocktail recipes!

We wanted to create something a little different than the traditional pastels and bunny rabbits, so instead, we went with bold colors and palm leaves, inspired by a colorful Moroccan theme. This is a colorful table setting that is perfect for spring!

Easter Party Ideas for Tablesetting

Line the table with small glass vases filled with colorful flowers. You can buy colorful flowers at a grocery store or farmers’ market. If you have them growing in your yard, those work too!

You can also create a large Easter themed floral arrangement for the table too. This bunny vase is an old one from Pottery Barn. They have beautiful stone vases that would work well for spring too.

Place copper and speckled Easter eggs down the middle. See our guide for dying and coloring Easter eggs and how to make copper eggs!

Instead of traditional seating cards, make calligraphy eggs with guests’ names! We used beautiful wooden napkin holders to place the eggs on the table. It worked perfectly!

Use colorful dinnerware and fun glasses to add more color to the table.

How to set an Easter table setting

Set the table correctly using our table setting guide. Tulips make wonderful arrangements for an Easter brunch. Check out our guide to arranging tulips in a vase.

Easter Brunch Dessert

For desserts, we made my favorite carrot cake recipe, frosted it, and then pressed large coconut flakes onto the sides and top!

We then added some fresh flowers with two tall, lanky ones to look like bunny ears! The recipe for the carrot cake is below.

Easter Brunch Drinks

For the drinks, we served blood orange and carrot mimosas! They’re so good and easy to make. Blood Oranges are in the grocery store around April so it’s perfect timing!

  1. This looks like the recipe I used years ago, only I just grated my carrots on a hand grater and did not cook them. I love pineapple in my carrot cake. Your Easter table is very pretty!
