Before swinging past Budni for decorations, or picking up flowers today, we've got a few last minute ideas that will help you polish up the finishing decorative touch for your Easter gathering this extended holiday weekend: with little more than a few outdoor twigs, supermarket flowers, and plastic eggs from Budni or Euro Point, you can easily create a gorgeous accent or centerpiece for your holiday tablescape. Using traditional seasonal flowers readily available at the grocery store or Blume 2000, you can easily dress up your Easter table with stunning, minimalist florals touches that sing of spring.
 |
| Singular floral arrangements: a jagged edge tulip placed in a bit of water in an egg cup and drinking glass cover makes for a clean, elegant place setting, and is easily adjustable according to your color preferences. |
 |
| A container in a container: placing a long, slender container of water into a wider one works well for creating illusion bouquets like the one shown above. This one uses plastic eggs to surround the inner container and a mixed flower assortment to give the centerpiece depth. |
 |
| Less is more: for a more chic, metropolitan version of the egg illusion bouquet, keep your arrangement monochromatic, in this case, in minimalist white with matching tulips. |
 |
| The container-within-a-container Illusion Bouquet method isn't just for artificial materials. In the bouquets above you can surround roses or brightly colored hyacinths of the season with fresh produce to add a garden feel to a fresh tablescape.

 |
| Vintage style glass vases of varying heights, filled with seasonal Daffodils and tiny tree branches make for both an elegant centerpiece or side table accent. |
 |
| Your neighborhood Budni is marking down egg-shaped candles for fast clearance: there's no easier way to create a casual, but pretty centerpiece than adding a few to a bed of low-cut flowers on a ceramic plate or charger. |
 |
If Maiglocken like that in the first photo is not readily available, simply choose single stems from a large market bouquet to showcase in solo vases down the center of your dining table. For a more rustic version, use cleaned, recycled jars of varying heights wrapped with a bit of ribbon twine at the top for a more Shabby-Chic, farmhouse feel. For vases, glasses, or jars that don't have a narrow opening to hold stems upright, use simple pebbles or stones from outdoors to keep your flowers in place.
|
 |
| Fresh, festive, and inexpensive: simple "Katzengrass" replaces pricier American wheatgrass in this cheerful centerpiece that's been wrapped with bright colored ribbon, resting on Easter craft grass (readily available at BUDNI, ROSSMANN or Nanu Nana), and surrounded by dyed Easter eggs. For larger dinner tables, make 2 or 3 arrangements for maximum visual impact. |
 |
Cherry blossoms or branches of almost any type placed in vases, pitchers, or jars of varying heights add instant atmosphere to your tablescape. As a variation, you can use sweeping bare branches and add drugstore craft eggs to have atraditional German Easter tree right at your dining table.
Happy Decorating and Enjoy Your Easter Weekend Nesting!
