I'm not too crazy about decorating for EVERY holiday. However, I do like to do something each season for my formal dining room table. Even if I don't decorate anything else in the house, I will do something that says something about our family during that month. Easter is my FAVORITE time to decorate our table.. It not only symbolizes so much in our family but the colors represented are so simple and basic (White, yellow, lilac). These are colors that I don't usually use but when I do they are so refreshing and speak to me softly.
We are having all of our family over for Easter Sunday so I've been preparing for them to be here. Below is a photo of what I did today "using what I had". I usually have this tray with the candelabra on the table. I added the gold sheer runner, added the crosses (most of us have a cross somewhere), added two Easter Lillies and hung a plaque I just got from a friend on the candelabra. I thought it looked very soft and peaceful.
