Don't you just hate it when you plan something and it just does not happen? I had planned to do a "Frozen" tablescape in December for sweet hubby's grand daughters (with the pretense of using his son's birthday as the reason for the occasion) and as luck would have it they were not able to make it before Christmas. We decided to reschedule for right after Christmas which would have been fine by me. As the date approached we found out that both grand daughters and their brother had come down with mononucleosis. The poor babies stayed sick for weeks. Because the kids did not recover right away we did not reschedule at that time. Fast forward to this past week when I was about to pack up the plates that I had planned to use for the Frozen tablescape I thought to myself, why not do a blue Easter tablescape before I pack up everything until next Winter. Why not? I have a pretty aqua blue table scarf to use and four cute aqua blue bunny egg cups that I found at Walmart for a centerpiece, this could work out just fine! I washed and ironed the scarf and napkins and set the table with the new bunnies and my "Frozen" stash. Ta-dah! The Easter table I hadn't planned!
All three cats wanted to get in on the action while I set the table. That is Prince looking out of the window (yes that is snow in the backyard). Cheetah just laid on the floor and watched my every move while sweet little Oreo hung out on the chair cushions pawing at me whenever I came by her side of the table.
Crystal candle holders are topped with teal mirrored eggs that I bought at Marc's (my favorite close-out store) and pretty Capri blue wine glasses are used as cupcake stands. The cupcakes have aqua icing although the color did not turn out as dark a blue as I wanted they are still pretty in their wine glass stands.
The cupcakes have chocolate branches (melted chocolate drizzled off the edge of a spoon over parchment paper) with store bought bees and flowers on top.
I used my reticulated chargers layered with pale aqua blue swirl plates bought at Marshall's about five years ago. Thrifted vintage Capri blue swirl bowls top the stack accompanied by a white napkin sheathed in a teal blue sheer organza napkin held together with bunny napkin rings.
Longchamp water glasses (a Goodwill purchase) and peacock blue fiesta flatware (bought off of Ebay several years ago super cheap) complete the setting.
I did not have enough of the reticulated salad plates to do the whole table but I could not resist trying them in a place setting to see how they would of looked in the stack.
Teal and aqua table scatter is dispersed across the tabletop.
The centerpiece is teal mirror pieces cemented onto a clear cylinder candle holder placed on a vintage pressed glass twelve point saucer
that is set upon a wide top crystal candle holder to elevate it. Teal
table scatter was placed on each of the twelve points surrounding the
candle cylinder. The four egg cup bunnies are sitting under the crystal
candle holder.
Th dining room shelves are decorated for Easter too. There are bunnies and birdhouses over filling each shelf. The wooden boxes are from Marc's and pretty near everything else is thrifted.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a Happy Easter! ..... Candy
