Elegant Easter Décor by Little Sooti

Thetis said: I had lots of fun creating this sweet little table in two of my favourite colours, a gorgeous shade of Mint and Watermelon. With Easter in mind, and the last days of summer I wanted to create a simple and pretty table where my little girl Zoe could enjoy. I had a beautiful 2 tiered cake in mint with made with 2 stunning delicate flowers. Desserts were chocolate chip vanilla cupcakes, mud chocolate cake balls, sweet little cookies with a buttercream frosting and some of Zoe’s favourite sweets, marshmallows.

I love silk linen, it just gives a warm luxurious look especially thrown imperfectly on the table as I have. I painted some old picture frames and used these as the backdrop against a back fence. Handmade flowers in a coral colour were also used as the back drop, I really love the effect it had. Beautiful peach coloured roses were placed in recycled clear jars and scattered around the table.

On the surrounding ground I had some handmade paper fans, a painted wooden crate, apothecary jar with marshmallows placed on a white washed timber stool. I had lots of fun styling this little soiree, and most of all it was simple and Zoe had fun helping put it together, model and then of course enjoy the treats afterwards.

Easter eggs masterpieces...

I remember as a kid how much fun it was to decorate the Easter eggs. Its was like having a blank canvas and we had so much fun experimenting which colours and stickers we are going to use decorate the eggs. The final result might have been a mess or a masterpiece but it was always enormously satisfying.

Growing up in Europe we celebrated the Orthodox Easter every year and to keep the tradition of coloring eggs alive we were colouring most of the Easter eggs bright red and the rest different colours.

The eggs are always coloured on Holy Thursday, which commemorates the Last Supper, held the evening before the Crucifixion. The custom of cracking the eggs takes place before the Easter lunch. The eggs are cracked after the midnight service and during the next days. Each person selects his/her egg. The people take turns tapping their egg against the eggs of others and the person who ends up with the last unbroken egg is believed to have a year of good luck.

Below i have selected few of my favourite Easter eggs decoration. What is your Easter family tradition?
