For Easter brunch décor, set a pastel balloon arch (petal pink, mint and buttercup, or mint and pearl) behind the buffet or at the start of the egg hunt, style the table with fresh tulips and pastel linens, and add a kids’ station for egg decorating. Party Box’s Easter Morning and Mint & Pearl kits are designed for spring; order about two weeks ahead.
Quick takeaways
- Pastels photograph beautifully in spring daylight.
- Put the arch where the egg hunt starts for the best photos.
- Fresh tulips and daffodils make the table.
- A kids’ station keeps little ones happy during brunch.
A spring palette
Easter is the season of soft colour. Petal pink, mint and buttercup yellow (Easter Morning) feel like a spring sunrise; mint and pearl with a touch of lilac (Mint & Pearl) feel fresh and garden-party elegant; lavender and cream (Lavender Haze) feel calm and pretty. All three look gorgeous in natural morning light.

Where to put the arch
Indoors, put a 10 ft arch behind the brunch buffet or the dining table’s end wall — it frames the food and the family photo. Outdoors, place it at the start of the egg hunt so kids run through it with their baskets; it’s the photo every parent wants. In both cases, keep it in shade or soft light.
Brunch table
- Pastel or white linen with a gingham runner.
- Tulips, daffodils and ranunculus in low jars.
- Speckled eggs in a bowl as a centrepiece.
- Mismatched pastel plates.
- Place cards tucked into egg cups.
The menu
- Quiche or a frittata.
- Hot cross buns and carrot-cake muffins.
- A yoghurt parfait bar.
- Mimosas and a pastel lemonade.
- Bunny-shaped pancakes for the kids.
Kids’ corner
- Egg-decorating with stickers and markers.
- Bunny-ear headband craft.
- Egg-and-spoon race.
- A small arch over the kids’ table.
Stylist tipPick up popped balloon pieces right away when little kids are around — they’re a choking hazard.
Egg hunt setup
Mark zones by age so toddlers aren’t competing with ten-year-olds, use different colour eggs per child for fairness, and keep a count of how many you hid. Start the hunt at the arch for a perfect “ready, set, go” photo. More spring ideas in Easter and spring pastel arches.
Indoor vs outdoor Easter
Spring weather is unpredictable, so plan both. Indoors, the arch goes behind the buffet, the egg hunt moves to the living room and backyard toys come inside. Outdoors, choose a shaded spot for the arch, anchor it at several points against breezes and build it the morning of. Pastels can fade in strong sun, so shade helps them stay vivid for photos. If rain threatens, a covered porch is the perfect compromise — the arch around the door frames the start of an indoor hunt.
Timing
Easter moves every year, so check the date and order about two weeks before (kits ship in about 5–7 days with free US shipping). Build the arch the evening before indoors, or early morning for outdoor setups.
