Seder in Style

April 3, 2025

As I conceptualized this Seder tablescape, I aimed to create a look that’s elegant and easy to recreate. This tablescape features an abundance of paper goods, making it perfect for those without formal dishes or limited cleaning assistance.

This Seder tablescape begins with an intricate white lace tablecloth, setting a refined tone for the celebration.

Adding a touch of elegance to the table are clear plastic chargers with a gold rim. The transparent chargers allow the delicate lace tablecloth to shine through, while the gold rim adds a touch of refined luxury.

This exquisite collection of paper goods takes center stage with big and small ivory scalloped plates. These plates are not only beautiful, but also convenient, making cleanup a breeze.

Understated yet refined napkins enhance the table’s ambiance, completing the look and feel of the Seder celebration.

The gold cutlery brings a sense of luxury to the setting, complementing the overall aesthetic.

For me, a Seder evokes a palette of white and gold. To add a vibrant accent, a rich mauve—a regal hue that complements the wines on the table—is incorporated.

To personalize the table, clear place cards featuring Cricuted names are used. A luxurious double-sided mauve velvet ribbon adds a pop of color and sophistication to each place setting.

To create a cohesive and elegant look, we incorporated matching gold rim glass cups and saucers, which add a touch of sophistication to the table. Disposable drinking goblets bring a pop of color and height to the table, while these beautiful Haggadahs provide a beautiful and unified element to the Seder.

These stunning decanters and gold tray elevate the Seder to a royal experience, allowing you to beautifully display grape juice and wine. The decanters add a touch of luxury, while the gold tray provides a sophisticated base.

The Seder plate and matzah box are beautifully displayed, adding a touch of elegance and tradition to the table.

With this matzah afikomen set, the afikoman bag and matzah cover match the pillows, creating a cohesive look and adding to the overall sophistication of the tablescape.

Adding a touch of warmth and tradition to the table, pillows with elegant matching pillowcases provide a comfortable resting place, allowing guests to recline in traditional Seder style.

Gold candlesticks add a warm, luxurious glow to the table, while their sleek design elevates the ambiance. Paired with taupe candles, the candlesticks create an inviting centerpiece that complements the overall elegance of the setting.

These flowers are a beautiful centerpiece, combining white anemones, blush roses, and dusty pink spray roses for a striking contrast. The clear vases showcase their elegance, adding simplicity and sophistication to the arrangement.

Do it yourself:

  • Choose three different types of flowers, such as white anemones, blush roses, and dusty pink spray roses.
  • Select three different size clear vases to showcase the flowers elegance and add simplicity and sophistication to the arrangement.

With these elegant and traditional elements, you’ll create a Pesach Seder tablescape that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

Wishing you a chag kasher v’samei’ach!
