Lilies are the traditional Easter flower, but don’t feel hemmed in by habit. A lily-of-the-valley garland is a delicate—and not as powerfully smelling—alternative. If your centerpiece needs a pop of color, opt for some sunny, double-flowering forsythia branches or an ivy bunny topiary for festive greenery.

Menus and place cards transform any meal into a polished event, but don’t skimp on the plating. Serve up some fresh asparagus in a vintage Majolica server and add a bit of ceremony to your next-day breakfast with eggcups and a silver spoon.

There’s good reason that New York City’s famed Charlie Bird offers Kentucky ham on its menu; the state is known for its smoked and cured pork. To bring some Bluegrass authenticity to your table, we recommend the aged country ham from Col. Bill Newsom’s, paired with biscuits. But, if you prefer a rack of lamb to pork, don’t forget the mint jelly. And for dessert? Caroline’s caramel layer cake.
