Make Checkerboard Bunnies the Stars of the Table
These modern checkerboard Easter bunnies were the inspiration for this fresh take on an Easter brunch. To create an eye-catching display, position three bunnies on a set of white candle holders to alter their height around the table.
Create a Simple Bunny Centerpiece
The checkerboard bunnies are arranged around a centerpiece that's oh so easy easy to make. Just top a white cake stand with a boxwood wreath and a Bunny Tabletop Decoration. You can tie a black and white ribbon for some extra pizzazz!
Incorporate Plaid Patterns
What makes this tablescape modern and fresh is a mix of different patterns. Checkerboard pattern is a natural pairing with black and white buffalo check plaid or a gingham print. To incorporate plaid, start with an orange plaid table runner which is a great, casual alternative to a more formal tablecloth. If you have a circular table, try positioning the runner diagonally across the table. For a rectangular or square table, position it down the middle of the table.
Place a green boxwood garland down the center of the runner to add another bright pop of green that extends from the centerpiece.
The pattern layering makes a big statement on the sides of the table where the orange plaid table runner overlaps the black and white checkerboard table skirt. The table skirt is a simple trick for transforming the look of a table. It is also super easy to attach thanks to an adhesive strip that runs across the top!
Layer Simple Tableware for an Elegant Effect
You can still have an elegant Easter meal while keeping the tableware casual and the cleanup easy! Layer a mix of orange and black plaid disposable tableware including orange plaid dinner plates, black and white buffalo check dessert plates, and orange plaid luncheon napkins. These natural woven place mats are also a great way to add another textural element to the place setting and elevate the look. Even wine glasses can look beautiful without being breakable! Pair these clear patterned plastic wine glasses with your place settings.
Personalize it With a Place Card
A personalized place card is one of the easiest ways to make a meal feel extra special. To make this modern take on a place card, wrap a strand of boxwood leaf ribbon around the top of a wood egg cup. Top with a white wood egg decorated with an orange letter sticker to represent the initial of each person!
Put a Modern Spin on Easter Eggs
Easter eggs don't have to only come in pastel colors! Why not try black and white instead? Scatter a mix of wood eggs down the center of the table, leaving some white and painting others with black craft paint. This set of wood eggs comes in a pack of 12, so you'll have plenty to use as place cards and table decor.
Expand the Decor Beyond the Table
Carry the theme beyond your dining table to other parts of the room such as a buffet table or cart. This large green moss rabbit was accented with a buffalo check ribbon bow. The cute Easter egg tree adds another touch of whimsy to your decor!
Whether you're hosting an intimate brunch for four, or a dinner for 12, this checkerboard bunny tablescape is sure to be a hit!
