Easter ideas & spring table inspiration
Happy Easter! Rejoice, it's the time for mini egg mania with pretty pastels, delicious cakes and artisan easter eggs filling our instagram feeds. It's also a time of course to sit down with family and feast on delicious seasonal food (let's not forget it's Passover too), so I wanted to share some of my work with might inspire your easter decorations. Whether blossoming arrangements of fresh spring flowers or cute easter place settings, there is no better excuse to embrace the beauty of spring and celebrate!

BIRD'S EGG PLACE SETTING
A favour and place name in one! Add a playful touch to a crisp white plate and napkin with a mini woven basket filled with chocolate eggs. This one was topped with an origami bird, on which was written the guest's name. Use blossom patterned paper for extra spring prettiness.

FLORAL TABLE
With a little more warm weather, spring really is a BLOOMING time! The flower market finally starts to fill with pretty flowers including delicate snow drops, frilly tulips, heavenly fragrant hyacinth, magnificent magnolia and whimsical narcissi. Our favourite? Dramatic branches of just opened blossom to fill a tall vase. Here we worked with florist, Rob Van Helden on a spectacular table carpeted with green hydrangea heads on which sat glass vases brimming with blush pinks.

GOLDEN EGGS
I crafted these opulent eggs for a stunning Sofreh Aghd table at a Persian wedding I styled with wedding planner, Bruce Russell. Using pearls, lace, gold paint, gold leaf, I transformed these plain plastic eggs into little luxurious decorations! The crystal bowl was from prop house, Farley's and suited the rich setting of the ballroom at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

CHERRY BLOSSOM
Nature's confetti! Cherry Blossom is our favourite flower. We unfortunately missed the sakura season in Japan this year but that doesn't mean we can't bring it into our celebrations here. It makes the sweetest treats with sugar sprigs of blossom topping cupcakes and petits fours. The tiered wedding cakes and cupcakes by Maki's Cakes and are finished with both gold lace and clusters of gold chrysanthemum.
