Layer up

Layer complementary plate designs and add a themed place setting. We’ve wrapped egg cups and Easter eggs with napkins in the shape of bunny ears.

Set a theme

Splashes of yellow bring a sense of vitality to our central colour theme of blue and white. We’ve introduced various textures and treats across the table to leave guests with a feeling of abundance and joy.

Fresh fruit & flowers

Nothing evokes feelings of freshness like generous groupings of fruit and flowers. With hydrangeas as our hero, we used a variety of blooms in our central colour theme. A bowl of fresh lemons completes the picture.

Bunny ear napkins

1. Fold a napkin into a triangle. Starting at the peak of the triangle, fold over towards the long edge. These folds are about 3cm wide.

2. Keep folding until you get to the long edge, so you have one long piece.

3. Bend napkin in half to make a “U” shape. Place an egg cup and egg inside the “U”; blunt end of egg at the bottom.

4. Use twine or ribbon to tie the napkin snugly around the top of the egg cup and egg.

5. Splay out the two napkin ends to make ‘ears’. Use a sprig of baby’s breath as a finishing touch.
