This Sunday we celebrate Easter – a time of rebirth and jubilation. And in honor of this day, we really love to dress things up. . . our churches are filled with white Easter lilies, our little girls are adorned in frilly pastel colored dresses (complete with matching hats or bows) and our eggs are tinted in hues of yellow, pink and green. We’ll add a spring wreath to our front door, a bouquet of tulips to the foyer table and fill our homes with ceramic bunnies, yellow stuffed chicks and candy filled baskets. Oh, what fun!!
While we’re at it, let’s not forget our dining and buffet tables – the place where we gather round in celebration with family and friends. This is where I think it can be the most fun to decorate. Personally, I prefer to avoid the anticipated bunnies and decorative eggs, and shoot for something a little less expected. Below is some great inspiration for doing just that.
If the temperatures aren't quite warm enough for
outdoor dining, then bring spring's flowers inside.

But if the temperature allows, by all means, take it outside.
