Easter centerpieces have three related but distinct themes to draw on: the Resurrection of Jesus, the spring season, and traditional children’s festivities.
Easter is one of two pinnacle holy days (holidays) celebrated by Christians worldwide. Without the arrival of Christ as celebrated on Christmas, Jesus couldn’t have died and been raised for the forgiveness of our sins. Without His resurrection as celebrated on Easter, His coming would have been near meaningless. By rising from the dead, Christ defeated death and allowed our spirits to enter Heaven when we pass.
And though it sounds like a grim affair, Christians acknowledge this day as a victory for all humanity. The timing of Easter is also fortuitous as spring is the season in which nature rises from its winter sleep and blossoms into new joy and victory.
Along with the spring season comes baby bunnies and chics, the source of our famous Easter bunny and Easter eggs.
With so many joyous themes in mind, let’s see what creations we can craft for our centerpieces.
You either love these marshmallowy candy treats or you hate them. But no one can deny how cute they are. And they’ll look wonderful as a part of your centerpiece. As Peeps come in different shapes, you can use a variety of the little animals to create a scene on your table. Or arrange them in different colors in a jar for a colorful display or bunnies or ducks.

Chocolate centerpieces are a little more difficult. They might get eaten! But if you can ward off your family and guests – not to mention yourself! – you can create some amazingly cute displays with chocolate bunnies and mini eggs. Create a scene of bunnies gathering eggs, smelling spring flowers, or nuzzling noses. They’ll be a hit! And after dinner, you can allow them to be a part of the dessert.
