Pinterest Trend Report: Setting the Table for Easter

March 30, 2013/ Katrina Guzman

We’ve rounded up some of the best table settings for Easter on Pinterest. Hopefully these will inspire your tables tomorrow! We’ve paired our favorite settings with some of our favorite dining room tables and chairs.

For a casual look, choose some white china with accents of blue and pair with natural colored linen napkins. Feather details on the placecards are a unique accent and add an element of fun to this table. This place setting would look fabulous on our new Durham Dining Collection by Four Hands – a casual, rustic look that’s crafted from 90 percent reclaimed solid pine. It’s eco-chic with a hint of vintage.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica this style of furniture originated in the late 17th century as an extra wide seat in order to accommodate the large dresses worn during this era.
