Coastal Easter Ideas to Try!

I love spring!  Spring here on our California Coast is especially gorgeous this year - every thing is blooming in all its' glory, from bright yellow shamrocks, to the explosion of Calla Lillies.  The last several years have been a bit bleak for blooms due to our historic drought, but the El Nino rains have been very kind this winter and our plants are totally digging it!

I digress... Our Caron's Beach House crew has been so busy rounding up creative, charming ideas for celebrating Easter with a coastal theme, and I had to share some of my favorites that we've found for you this year.

1. Narwal Easter Eggs - Oh my gosh, these are just too adorable! From A Joyful Riot - click for the step by step instructions.

2.  Kate's Creative Space - why save these clear balls just for Christmas?  Love how she's used spring elements to create fun little place settings.   More Info!

3.  Make it Pink! Keeping it simple with deep fuchsia orchids, this gorgeous table setting by the sea welcomes guests with a slightly tropical style. From Hen House Linens

4.  A perfect beach cottage table setting - a little bit rustic, but beautiful with sea washed colors in the driftwood-like table, white linens, and aqua plates with Easter Eggs to match!  The bright yellow daffodils are a wonderful Spring finishing touch. (sorry not sure about the image source)

5. A bowl of sea-colored Easter Eggs makes a fabulous centerpiece!

6.  Nautical Bowl of Easter Eggs from The Mermaids Tale.  Seriously, check her entire blog post - so darn creative!  LOVE LOVE those little buoys and fish net covered eggs, not to mention the eggs sand dollar and sea urchin details.  WOW - am a little envious of the imagination that went into these beauties!
