Easter means that springtime is finally here, and the chilly weather is going to become warmer before we know it. However, this also means we must prepare our spaces for the coming season – especially if you plan on hosting a special Easter celebration with loved ones.

Welcome Guests with an Inviting Front Porch
One of the first areas you should think about decorating for your Easter party is your front porch – which is the first place your guests will visit. It’s also one of your earliest opportunities to show off your decorating skills, working to welcome partygoers and make them feel right at home.
To start, get yourself a decorative wreath for your front door, one with colorful egg and bunny designs featuring pastel colors. If you’re looking for something more botanical, opt for a wreath with bright, seasonal florals, such as posies, as well as textural elements mixed in, such as tree branches. Find options with cute little lovebirds for an exciting, decorative touch. Or, you can make your own bunny-shaped wreath using two embroidery hoops, as well as pastel ribbons and fabrics.
Door mats are another way to add decorative cheer to your front porch space, especially after winter. Consider putting away your winter doormat and switch it for something more festive, such as one with fun designs or in pastel colors. Blues, pinks, purples or yellows fit the vibe you want perfectly, or, find options in neutral colors to match existing decor, such as beige, gray or white. Consider door mats for the outdoors, as well as ones for indoor use to bring Easter cheer to your indoor entryway spaces.
Lastly, complete the look of your front porch by adding a porch sign, which can be leaned against your home right next to your front door to give guests a welcoming message or porch spaces an added decorative touch. Welcome signs greet your guests before you even open your door, allowing them to feel invited and warm as they walk up to your home. Other decorative elements, such as colorful Easter eggs, cute bunnies or on-theme carrots, can help elevate the Easter cheer.
Set the Table with Stunning Decor
No Easter celebration is complete without your delicious Easter dinner, and your table setting should reflect the cheer and joy of the holiday.
Before decorating, you must first decide if you want a tablecloth, table runner or both. Tablecloths cover the entirety of your table, saving it from messes while guests eat and giving setups decorative flair. Meanwhile table runners only run along the middle of the table, offering a unique appearance. For the easiest cleanup, consider using both, with table runners featuring easy-to-clean materials, such as fabrics that can be thrown in the wash or PVC that can be simply wiped down. For the kids’ table, use paper table runners, which little ones can draw and color on for added entertainment.
Easter is a time for bright, fun colors, meaning you should find tablecloths and table runners in pastel shades, from blue to green to yellow to pink. Or, for a subtle look, purchase tablecloths in a neutral color, such as beige or white, and table runners in contrasting, brighter colors. Don’t forget – you can also add colorful touches with the placemats you use, as well as fun designs with pastel-colored or floral-styled plates. Or, display your delicious meal on white plates to truly make it stand out.
Finally, finish off your tablescape with a stunning centerpiece, anything from fresh-cut flowers to adorable bunny vases. Depending on the color scheme of your table settings, you should find matching blooms to bring your entire vision together. For spring, hydrangeas make for amazing table arrangements, and you can add visual flair and texture by putting fake eggs, decorative carrots or other elements at the bottom of vases. Or, forgo the vase altogether and put your arrangement in a decorative basket.
Patio Furniture and Decor for Outdoor Fun
With spring, comes warmer weather, meaning we can’t forget about our backyard spaces, as well. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to break out your patio furniture sets, including lounge chairs, tables and any patio lights. This gives everyone somewhere to hang out while the youngsters hunt for eggs or play outside. If your table and chair set comes with an umbrella, be sure to bring that out, too, allowing everyone to stay cool and shaded if the day is especially warm.
If you want to have a dedicated station for drinks and appetizers, upgrade your space with an outdoor bar or bar-height patio table. Additionally, be sure to decorate your bar space, whether that be with fresh-cut flowers or adorable, freestanding bunny figurines, to bring the festive flair all around your home.
Alongside patio furniture, you should also think about bringing some decorative Easter cheer to your outdoor spaces. For example, inflatable Easter decor and decorative yard stakes can help you create a whole world for little ones to explore as they search for hidden eggs. Additionally, consider buying some bright, pastel-colored outdoor throw pillows and cushions, or planters with stunning flowers and blooms, giving your backyard space a colorful touch.
