Easter Table

The inspiration for this table was a set of these cute nests my youngest sister sent me last spring.  I used them last year for a casual outdoor table, but I wanted to try them with my wedding china for Easter this year. 

The pale turquoise eggs bring out the turquoise centers of the flowers in the china pattern.  My sister also gave me the brown placemats, which echoed the color and texture of the nests.

 Once I had the places set, I started to think about a centerpiece.  I decided to go with a bright contrasting color, and I found these hot pink carnations at HEB.  Five fit nicely into each julep cup.

Four of the smallest blossoms were placed in the napkin rings, a gift from my daughter.  They hold turquoise napkins.

Here's a view of the tabletop.  Tall cream-colored candleholders and pillar candles add some height.
