LE DEJEUNER DE PAQUES
The inspiration for the setting for Easter Sunday lunch came from the lovely Irises I received yesterday; yes, I thought, blue will be the color...for once. I immediately remembered the light blue Italian damask place mats and napkins I hardly ever use, and the pale blue plates I never seem to manage to incorporate in any of my "themes".
And then I spied the pale blue egg cups in the glass cabinet. Perfect!
Too much pale blue and the whole scheme started to resemble a baby shower so I added touches of color.
A little red and yellow from the millefiore glasses
some red and green from the tulips
et voila!
A simple but happy table for a simple and most certainly happy lunch.
Let's not forget one of the important components:

The menu:
Oeufs Brouillés aux Oeufs de Saumon en Coquille
(scrambled eggs in the shell; hence the egg cups)
A nice leg of lamb
and for dessert the appropriate egg...chicken... whichever comes first.
Pas de Pâques sans chocolat...
Easter without chocolate? never.
joyeux weekend de Pâques.

Love your Easter table and those irises are stunning, lucky you to have received them.
ReplyDeleteI love miniature iris...I used to grow blue ones and loved them! You came up with a lovely table theme.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see pictures of your spectacular dining room. I can't decide if I like the chandelier or the sideboard arrangement with chairs and mirror better.
ReplyDeleteAnd your menu...your guests are lucky.
haven't seen a chocolate chicken! Love it!
