Easter decor tablescaping can rival fashion’s finery for the spotlight in the Easter parade.
To look upon a beautiful Easter decor tablescaping as a work of art is no over eggaggeration of the term.
Central to a lovely tablescape, creating a centerpiece of fresh flowers and/or greenery from nature’s floral department aka our own yards broadens the field for artistic interpretation.
Begin with a vase, jar, tureen, pitcher, decorative coffee can- any type container that floats your boat or flower frog will do.
This word within a word moment is brought to you by spring into Easter tablescape talk.
Escape is within the word tablescape, and that discovery became the subject of the blog post, Seasonal Update: Turn Your Tablescape Into A Table Escape.
When we tablescape we escape through creativity, and right in the middle of the word creativity is the word that is the reason for tablescaping in the first place- eat.
Now that I think about it, when we tablescape we decorate, and the last three letters in decorate spell ate.
Several Easter tablescapes ago I started a serveware tradition of using this rabbit statue as a salad bowl.
Butter lettuce, sliced fresh Louisiana strawberries, chopped walnuts, red onion rings, and honey-apple cider vinaigrette springs to mind.
Honey-Apple Cider Vinaigrette
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon honey mustard
generous squeeze fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon celery seed
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon paprika
Directions
In mixing bowl or glass jar with lid, combine vegetable oil, sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
Whisk or shake, blending all together. Add remaining ingredients, stirring or shaking well.
Place salad greens in mixing bowl.
Top with sliced strawberries, red onion slices, and chopped walnuts.
Drizzle vinaigrette over mix in small amounts until you reach the desired amount.
Toss together and serve.
Consider using a vintage creamer or pitcher for a salad dressing/condiment server.
Who needs Easter egg dye when nature lends a hand?
In the words of a famous rabbit, that’s all folks.
