Easter is a perfect time to look to Mother Nature for beautiful elements to use on your Easter table.
The array of greens and flowers is so abundant this time of year. I personally have always used natural elements on my table for Easter.
Here is a list of some of the elements I have used in the past.
- Scotch moss(I like this kind because it is a deep dark green)
- Wheat grass ( I get it at my grocery store)
- Ornamental Kale (Perfect when placed by a bunny)
- Miniature carrots ( produce section)
- rocks or pebbles ( I use these to border or just place in moss to look like a garden scene)
- Different types of moss, baby tears or blue star ground cover.
- Margarite daisies are a favorite of mine to add in the grass.
- Tulips, daffodils and daisies.
I love the simplicity of this arrangement. Several of these down the center of the table with some ivy trailing down the center would be so simple to do. Basically twigs from the yard a little moss to make a nest. Ivy and a colored egg and you have all you need for a lovely table. Add votives in mass and it would be stunning.

This is one of my favorites. This could be done on any table with stones from the yard. Just make sure you put down plastic to protect your table. This would look amazing if they had a few daffodils and some blue eggs laying among the moss and succulents. Love this!!!!

This is wheat grass and they used faux flowers and eggs. I would use real flowers and real blown eggs. I like to use real whenever it is possible.
Moss covered pots with grape hyacinth. Notice the darling checked cloth in periwinkle blue. The pop of chartreuse gives just the right pop.

So simple and yet so sweet.

Time to go outside and look around your yard!!! If you open up to it, you will find all kinds of elements that you can incorporate in your Easter table setting.

OMGoodness, I love SO many of these tables!!!! Beautiful!
Hi Kathysue, I love the one with the flagstone - very fun!
Great examples showcasing how to use natural elements, Kathysue! Love the moss idea. I actually have some!
Hope you're having a beautiful Sunday!
I'm always in favor of using what you already own when holiday decorating. Not only do you save money, but you don't have to figure out where to store the new items.
These are so beautiful. They are all so simple yet such great ideas, full of creativeness...Christine
I think these images are gorgeous. I copied the one of the wire basket with eggs in the bottom and the flowers out the top to send to a florist friend -- just beautiful, organic and fresh. I noticed you slipped your own dining room in there -- very very pretty my friend :) Can you imagine that I'm hosting Easter and I haven't even had the time to start thinking about it?? Yikes.
Great ideas! I love the seedlings in the eggshells! So simple, yet such a nice touch. Thanks for sharing.
You are so creative Kathysue. I still haven't decided for my table yet!

After all this Easter buildup...I keep thinking that your Easter table post is coming pretty soon :)
The eggs planted with seedlings bring back fond memories. My Mom used to do that. I have just decided to be the hostess for Easter. I better get out in my garden and start looking around. I also like the wheat grass idea. so sweet.
So much inspiration...love one that's edible and pretty!!
Wow, I love this natural inspiration, Kathysue you have the BEST holiday posts in the world!! I always love the tablescapes and decorations you show use, how inspiring! Can't wait till Easter weekend :)

I just love the egg tied with the purple ribbon, how beautiful. Rachaelxx
If I only had the talent...I don't know but I'm useless with holiday decorations. I need you to come over to my house and give me a true tutorial. I can design a home but this kind if stuff I feel really lost and have no idea where to start!!!
Funny... I never would have thought to use eggs but they are so cute. I just know your tablescape will be to die for. If we were closer I'd be inviting myself over for some snapshots to blog about it! xo
