How to Have an Entertaining Easter

Filed Under > Entertaining

OUR EASTER ENTERTAINING WON’T INVOLVE CRACKED HARD-BOILED EGGS OR BLUE STAINED HANDS. INSTEAD, WE’LL BE SETTING A BLOOMING TABLESCAPE, SIPPING ON A REFRESHING BELLINI, AND SETTING UP THE MAKINGS OF A GREAT DESSERT TABLE. BUT DON’T THINK WE VETOED THE EASTER EGGS ALTOGETHER THIS YEAR; WE NARROWED OUR DIY DREAMS TO SOME FLORAL DECOPAUGED BEAUTIES THAT ACTUALLY DESERVE A PLACE ON THE TABLE. 

CLICK THROUGH THE SLIDESHOW ABOVE FOR A LITTLE EASTER ENTERTAINING INSPIRATION, AND TELL US WHAT YOU’LL BE FIXING COME APRIL 5TH. CHEERS, KAT
