Easter is often associated with a lot of colorful plastic: eggs, candy wrappers, iridescent grass in baskets. Fun, yes, but what about decorations you can use year after year, or those for a more formal springtime fête?
Alabaster eggs, for example, can be the star of any morning hunt or centerpiece, while radish-adorned plates add a pop of whimsy to any lamb or ham feast. Plus, on a day when chocolate is a de-facto meal replacement, at least you can say you had your vegetables.
Speaking of sweets! Swap out the nuclear-yellow Peeps for for Marchesi pastilles—equally as festive, not as equally stomachache and sugar-crash inducing.
And, while Easter may only be one day, who says you can’t use it as an excuse for a more permanent decor revamp? Botanical wallpaper evokes a green, leafy feel even on the grayest of days.
