Festive Table For Easter Sunday
Party planners often say presentation is everything. And Easter Sunday is a perfect opportunity to prove it. Setting a festive table will create a holiday spirit and give your guests lots to talk about.
Celebrity event planner Colin Cowie joined The Early Show with elegant ideas and showed how to pull them off without a lot of fuss.

Inspired by cherry blossoms, as well as the Easter Bunny, Cowie suggests a color theme of pastel pink, from napkins to tablecloth. He showed how you can print menu cards on your home computer and set them under glass plates for a light, elegant look.
Cowie's centerpiece is a sure crowd-pleaser. A miniature white picket fence surrounds a 20 inch circle of wheat grass, studded with pastel and sorbet colored tulips. Cowie also created what he called satellites to the centerpiece, smaller bunches of tulips in julep cups.
For extra fun and texture, he scattered Easter-colored candies, like pink and white jelly beans, and added votive candles for a romantic glow.
