    Simple Spring Table Decor

    With the snow finally melting and Easter on its way, last week I finally ditched the dying poinsettias on our dining room table and started playing around with some ideas for decorating our table for spring. I’m not hosting a large group for Easter this year so instead of an elaborate tablescape, I just want a few quick and simple table decorations to brighten up our dining room for the next few weeks. With less than $10 of flowers from Trader Joe’s and a few finds from my decorating stash, I came up with a bunch of super simple options to share with you guys.

    Simple ideas for decorating your spring or easter table

    For a simple spring or Easter centerpiece, I love cut daffodils in a simple mason jar. Trader Joe’s sells bundles of daffodils this time of year for $1.99 so you can create a centerpiece like this that uses two bundles for only $4. For a long dining room table, three mason jars filled with daffodils is beautiful. I tied a simple burlap ribbon around my mason jar but a more colorful one would be pretty too:

    I also played around with using a single daffodil at each place setting. Small vases like these are easy to find and inexpensive (this one came from the dollar bin at Michael’s):

    I actually have a bunch of vintage glass medicine bottles that I haven’t done much with and think I may like the look of a single daffodil in those even more:

    I picked up a $5 bundle of these purple flowers from Trader Joe’s too. I have no clue what they’re called (do you guys know?) but they sure are pretty in just a simple glass pitcher.

    I played around with a few different options for using them in place settings. I love the look of a floral sprig tied up with silverware using simple twine. The silverware can be placed with a colorful napkin in a small decorative jar or vase:

    or simply placed on each plate:

    I wanted to add something to the table that my kids might enjoy so I also tried out folding some pretty spring napkins into the shape of bunny ears. The first two tutorials I found weren’t so hot and I ended up with a pathetic mess that looked more like a dying cow than a bunny but then I found {this bunny napkin folding tutorial} that is super clear and simple. I think my napkin made an okay looking bunny this time!

    Another idea I tried out is rolling up a spring napkin and using a ribbon to tie a flower or cotton stem to it. I snagged this idea from Terrain’s recent post on botanical napkin rings that includes some other lovely options – you can find it {here}.

    Looking back on past years of spring table decorations that I could recreate, one of my favorites was turning these $1 birdhouses from Michael’s into place card holders. It’s not quite as quick of a decoration as the others but it’s a fun one to get the kids involved with – you’ll find the birdhouse place card holder how-to {here}.

    Instead of using the birdhouses, last Easter I put each place card in one of these faux nests with eggs:

    and I disguised the plastic pots of my Easter lilies by wrapping birch strips around them and tying the strips in place with ribbon:

    With so many easy options, I was having a hard time deciding which direction to go but my girls made my decision easy – they fell in love with the napkin bunny ears so I’m going to hunt down a few more colorful napkins this week to create our own bunny napkin entourage. The bunny napkins along with a few mason jars of daffodils will do the trick for our spring table for now and then I’ll probably add in some individual daffodils in vases and floral springs tied to silverware for our Easter dinner. That is, unless I wimp out and decide to make reservations instead of cooking a big Easter meal at home. I wish that I loved to cook even 1/10 as much as I love to decorate…
