Easter. It’s not just about the chocolate (though we’re very here for that). It’s a proper moment to gather your people, shake off the cobwebs of winter and set a table that sings "spring is here!".
At Mad Lilies, we don’t just love a good tablescape—we live for it. And when it comes to Easter, we believe in pulling out all the stops. Seasonal blooms, fresh colours, a bit of candlelight magic—it’s the ultimate celebration of longer days and lighter moods.
So, if you're ready to style a table that brings the outside in, gives your guests all the feels, and looks like it belongs in the pages of Living, etc, read on.
Bring On the Colour: Spring’s Natural Mood Boost
Let’s face it, we’ve all had our fill of grey skies. Now nature’s throwing open the curtains and showing off—and we want in.
Think: blush pink cherry blossom, sunshine-bright daffs, the zingy green of new shoots. These colours don’t just look good—they feel good. Surrounding yourself with them can boost your mood, calm your nerves, and spark a bit of joy. It’s science. It’s also just gorgeous.
Tablescaping 101: Your Easter, Elevated
Forget matchy-matchy place settings and napkin folding origami. This is about creating a table with soul. A bit of flair. A nod to nature. And—of course—flowers that stop people in their tracks.
Start with your base: a linen cloth or runner you love. Then build your palette with soft pastels and fresh greens. Layer in natural textures—think moss, willow, maybe a few hand-painted eggs nestled in a bowl—and let your flowers lead the way.
Tulips, daffodils, ranunculus, lilac... they’re the ultimate spring statement-makers. And they don’t need to be fancy—just fresh, thoughtfully placed, and preferably everywhere.

A Tale of Two Tables: Casual Grazers vs Sit-Down Stunners
Doing Easter nibbles and fizz? One big vase of something joyful—hello, daisy tana or viburnum—sets the tone. Dot around a few bud vases with ranunculus or lilac sprigs. Add some flickering votives, and voilà: spring in full swing.
Hosting a more formal feast? Time to go a bit luxe. Think layers of bud vases and fuller arrangements in between. Spirea, jasmine, tulips, clusters of lilac. You want height, texture, scent—and just enough drama to feel like you made an effort (without looking like you tried too hard).
And if you haven’t met our Stem Keeper yet? You’re in for a treat. Twelve tubes, endless possibilities. Just pop in your favourites and let the flowers do the talking.

Step-by-Step: The Mad Lilies Guide to Easter Tablescaping
- Linens: Start with something soft and lovely. Plain or printed, it sets the scene.
- Flowers: Central showstopper plus bud vases = instant joy. Play with height and form.
- Candles: Warm things up with taper candles or votives. Pastels or pops—up to you.
- Layer It Up: Chargers, stacked plates, folded napkins. Details matter.
Candles That Pop: Spring Light by Ester & Erik
Nothing lifts a table like candlelight. And the right colour? Game-changer. We’re obsessed with Ester & Erik’s dreamy palette—from powdery pinks to lemon yellow and sky blue. Mix and match or go tonal. Just make it feel considered (even if you did just chuck it together before your guests arrived).
A Dash of Easter Magic (That’s Still Chic)
We love a bunny, but keep it cool. Try monochrome eggs in a bowl, a paper honeycomb rabbit (our bestseller for a reason), or a scattering of our painted Selma Eggs. It’s Easter, with a bit of style.
