What is a tablescape?

A tablescape is more than just setting the table with plates, cups, and cutlery. Instead, it’s a way of dressing your table from head to toe to create a visually appealing setting for dining.  

Start with an Easter tablecloth in spring colors

To set your Easter table–or to create any beautiful tablescape, for that matter–the first step begins with a table linen. Acting as a beautiful foundation, a tablecloth or table runner in Easter colors will set the scene for your tablescape.

From floral table runners to white table linens and tablecloths for spring, Saffron Marigold offers plenty of Easter tablecloths that are just right for an Easter gathering. We hope you can use these to inspire your Easter tablescape ideas!

Easter tablescape idea: Pretty in Pink

With pink snapdragons, cherry blossoms, and magnolias cropping up at every turn, pink Easter decorations are a natural choice. Vibrant raspberry sorbet is an especially lovely pink tablecloth to use for an Easter brunch. This floral pattern is simply begging you to pull out your pastel decor!

Easter tablescapes in white for a season of renewal

Stylish and refined, a white tablecloth is always an elegant, sophisticated choice for a classic Easter brunch. Ours has a gentle pattern that feels right at home in a spring table setting but is subtle enough to allow the rest of your Easter table decorations to shine. Bring in the vivid colors of spring through your Easter table decor and make it whimsical with a big bowl of jelly beans on the table. Be sure to remember that quintessential bunch of Easter lilies as the centerpiece.

We wait all winter long for the first touches of green. For a spring celebration (such as an Easter brunch), ground your tablescape with a green tablecloth or green table runner. Our Woodland Ferns print has touches of light blue and sage green, filling the table with an air of environmentalism. With that, why not display garden-plucked flowers and botanical accents on your Easter table this year?

Classic blue and white for an elegant Easter

A classic blue and white tablecloth will carry you into a number of spring parties, from a Mother’s Day brunch to a spring luncheon all the way to Easter dinner. If you prefer, you can also try a blue and white table runner over a solid white tablecloth for formal dining, and let it run across a bare wooden table for a special breakfast. The possibilities are endless!

Sunny yellow Easter tablescapes

For a table that radiates with happiness, a yellow tablecloth is ulimate choice. Bursting with a sunny glow, this tablecloth (or its partner–a yellow table runner) sets the stage for the eggs benedict and mimosas you’ll enjoy at Easter brunch. Yellow is the basis for so many Easter table decorations, after all!

A crisp floral print for an Easter table

After the dreary grey winter landscape, the sight of spring’s first blooms are cause for a celebration of their own! If you delight in planting a garden and snipping your own flowers for added beauty in your home, then you’ll want to use a floral tablecloth for your Easter tablescape. It’s the natural choice!

Pastels and florals for an adorable Easter tablescape

You can’t go wrong with classic Easter colors like pastel pink, green, blue, orange, lavender, and white. The ivory version of our Enchanted collection fits the bill perfectly. Serve up sweets (macarons, cupcakes, iced cookies) in coordinating shades for a memorable Easter celebration.
