In Amanda’s own words, here are her favourite ways to create The Ultimate Easter Tablescape that’s equal parts effortless and elevated.
Step 1: Let Blooms Do the Talking
Set the tone with seasonal flowers in soft, dreamy hues. I’ve used Water Lilies, Cornflowers, Chamomile, and Dahlias to create a simple white and blue-themed table. Arrange your blooms at varying heights for a relaxed, just-picked garden feel.
Step 2: Add a Personal Touch
Carefully slit each Dutch carrot with a paring knife, just enough to tuck in a handwritten name card. Leave some of the green tops intact for a fresh, natural touch to your tablescape. A playful carrot place card - simple, sweet, and guaranteed to earn compliments.
Step 3: Serve It Platter-Style
Platter-style grazing is perfect for relaxed, fuss-free entertaining. Try my Green Goddess Chicken Platter with poached Chicken, crisp Green Beans, Rocket, and a zesty Lemon-Dill dressing. Fresh, simple, and sure to impress. Serve it deconstructed so guests can build their own plate.
Step 4: Set the Scent Scene
Keep your table beautifully scented - no matter what’s on the menu - with the Alchemy Grapefruit & Cedarwood Candle. I love this fresh, uplifting scent in its signature ceramic vessel.
Step 5: Finish with Soft Texture
Linen napkins, vintage glassware, and layered details set the tone for a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Soft fabrics and textured finishes add signature charm - I’ve used a silver op shop tray to serve my chicken platter recipe. Styled with Rachel Gilbert linen napkins.
