Backyard Easter Entertaining

If you plan on doing any backyard entertaining this Easter I have some great tips on how you can entertain with elegance. I love stepping outside and dusting off a space on my patio for my friends and family. The weather here is too good not to enjoy this time of the year. With temperatures in the mid 80 and sunny skies, an outdoor Easter brunch is a no brainer. 

Setting a table doesn’t need to be a big fuss but adding details like flowers, ready to eat foods and a beautiful place setting, makes it special for your guests. For this outdoor brunch I used a fold up table and draped a white table cloth over it for the perfect blank slate. 

To set a kid friendly table I was inspired by these cute vintage egg shaped plates and cups from World Market. Coupled with a trio of vintage milk bottles filled with fresh from the garden florals, it made an inviting table for the kids to sit and dine too! – Florals from Studio Forie AZ

You can also decorate the yard for your Easter hunt with fun signs pointing the way to hidden eggs! You can find this cute set here for $16.99
