Woodland-Themed Tablescape
Create this rustic and flower-filled display by styling anemones, ferns, eucalyptus, and moss-covered eggs on on a burlap runner. Wood slabs, moss piles, and monogrammed eggs also add a nice touch. You can create these personalized Easter eggs (and easy place card alternatives) by using a small paintbrush to fleck tan acrylic paint (thinned with a bit of water) on undyed farm eggs. Then use a gold paint pen to handwrite guests' initials.
