Simple Orange and Green Easter Tablescapes (DIY Ideas)

I Love Decorating for Spring

There’s something so refreshing about creating a spring table. Easter feels like a season of new beginnings, and it’s the perfect time to gather with family and friends.

I love how simple touches can completely transform a table. These DIY ideas are fresh, easy to create, and bring a light, cheerful feel to your space.

Bright orange and spring green are one of my favorite combinations for Easter. They add such a happy, vibrant look and instantly make your table feel festive.

Take a look at the elements below to recreate this look in your own home.

Setting your Easter Table

Preparing a beautiful table is one of the best ways to welcome your guests and create a warm, inviting space for your Easter dinner.

In this post, I’ll guide you through setting an Easter table using orange and green, a fresh and cheerful color combination for spring.

Start by opening your cupboards and using what you already have as your foundation.

If there are pieces you inherited or grew up with that you cherish, incorporate them into your table design. They add so much meaning and character.

Then layer in pops of color with flowers, linens, tableware, and decor.

I also love finding budget-friendly pieces at stores like Hobby Lobby, HomeGoods, T.J. Maxx, or even thrift stores like Goodwill or Savers.

Begin by choosing a tablecloth, runner, or placemats and napkins that complement your color scheme.

A light-colored print, such as gingham or a subtle pattern, creates a soft, neutral foundation for your colorful table settings and decor.

For example, I chose soft sage green gingham placemats from HomeGoods and layered them with faux grass placemats for added texture.

You’ll notice my table doesn’t include a tablecloth or runner, that’s completely optional. Keep it simple if that feels right for you.

Next, add green or orange napkins to bring in accents of color.

For my table, I used white napkins and trimmed them with a delicate faux vine for a fresh, natural touch.

Place Settings

My simple white plates are topped with small cabbage-themed salad plates for each place setting (similar plates, affiliate links).

Make each guest feel special by adding a small treat at their place. For example, I added Easter cupcakes topped with a bright orange carrot. You could also use a single faux daffodil or tulip, a tiny Easter basket, a bag of jelly beans, or a small chocolate bunny tied with a ribbon in your color scheme.

Check craft or variety stores for cute holiday decor to use at your table. Try to stay within your color palette to keep everything looking coordinated.

Centerpieces

A beautiful centerpiece can tie the entire table together. And if you haven’t guessed, I like to keep mine pretty simple.

Flowers are an easy and affordable way to bring life, color, and joy to your table. Plus, you can enjoy them long after your guests leave, or even share them as a parting gift.

For my table, I used vivid orange tulips because I love orange! They’re so bold, they don’t need anything else.

I also like adding a ceramic bunny or two for a playful Easter-themed centerpiece. They look adorable nestled between vases of spring flowers.

Other ideas include a shallow bowl or planter filled with bright green grass that you can grow yourself, a pretty Easter basket filled with eggs, or a combination of orange and green candles. There are so many ways to bring your table to life!

Glassware

Include a pretty glass at each place setting; a water glass and, if it’s a more formal dinner, a wine glass. I often use thrift store glassware stems to mix style and affordability.

If you have colored green or orange glasses, incorporate them! Or, add a decorative touch to plain glasses with a ribbon or small charms in your color scheme.

Decorative Touches

Small accents can make a big impact on your Easter table.

Try adding green or orange votive candles for a warm, festive glow. You can also scatter small Easter-themed bowls or colored glassware around the table and fill them with holiday treats for extra cheer.

Seating Arrangements

If you’re hosting a larger dinner, consider creating a seating plan.

Place cards with each guest’s name add style and a personal touch, and they can help keep your table organized, which can be especially helpful when children are involved.

Final Touches

Once your table is set, take a step back and admire your work!

Make sure everything is in order, there’s enough space between each place setting, and you’ve left room for serving food. A quick review ensures your table is both beautiful and functional.
