To present the easter egg placecards, I wanted nests. I used classic easter basket “grass” filling and my sister invented a napkin fold that held it perfectly.

The napkin went on the plate, the “grass” went right on top, and the egg nested in the middle. Really, a quite simple presentation (once the eggs are dyed!). Easter-y, but not too much.

This was the final brunch table! I kind of loved it, I’ll admit it. Easter-y without being cheesy. I was dying easter eggs at 1am the night before, but you know how you have to suffer for fashion? Sometimes you have suffer for pretty tables too :)

I was inspired by Martha Stewart Living’s April issue to put sticky vinyl letters on eggs and then dye them. Unfortunately, my letters didn’t stick very well and the dye got under a few of them.

But no matter…I wrote in the rest of the names with a gold pen and hoped the fuzzy letters made for extra charm.

Tomorrow: napkin nests for the egg placecards!

My placecards. I’ll be posting how-tos and more over the next few days…stay tuned.
