1. Make the Seder plates - or plates! - the centerpiece
Jewish tradition already gives us the perfect holiday table centerpiece: the Seder plate. It’s filled with the six colorful, on-theme foods that help illustrate the Passover story, and you can get it in any style or artistic theme.
So choose one that expresses your personal style and make it the star of the show!
And if you have a large table with many guests, they’ll appreciate multiple plates throughout the table so that everyone can see. You can get identical ones, but it can be even more fun to mix it up with different pieces with a common theme – like Armenian ceramics, antiques, colorful spring motifs, or Middle Eastern mandala designs.
2. Pick a theme or unified color scheme for the table
Between the Seder plate, matzah plate and cover, kiddush cup and Elijah’s cup, and of course your tableware for the meal itself, that’s a lot of things on the table!
It’ll be a lot less overwhelming and more visually appealing if it’s tied together with common design theme such as pomegranates or Jerusalem motifs.
Or, go simple-yet-classy with a unified color scheme, like elegant golds or fun blues and purples.
3. Don’t be afraid of the modern or unconventional
Make your Passover Seder your own, no matter your style! Contemporary or unique designs have their place at the Passover table as well, and can make the tradition feel more relatable, fun, and engaging for the modern Jew.
Love sleek contemporary elegance, a modernist look, or even cartoon designs? Your Passover table can be anything you want it to be!
4. Mix the old and the new
Combine your family heirloom Judaica or your tried-and-true favorite haggadah from childhood – or even that traditional-looking but new-to-you Seder plate – with modern Passover tableware pieces and accessories from contemporary designers like Dorit Judaica, Barbara Shaw, or Yair Emanuel.
It’ll give your table a meaningful personal touch and an exciting modern relevance that’ll wow your guests!
5. Highlight the wine
The wine is a big part of the Passover Seder experience, so consider beautiful accessories to give it the prominence it deserves: wine glasses, decanters, corks, bottle holders, kiddush cups and an artistic Elijah’s cup.
And of course, make sure you and your guests have the best wine drinking experience with delicious, top-notch kosher wine from Israeli wineries!
6. It’s the small details that count
Tie the entire table together with a beautiful tablecloth – a solid neutral color with subtle designs goes a long way, such as this elegant white pomegranate tablecloth.
And you can add more eye-catching detail with decorative accents like a table runner, colorful napkins, or placemats, and fresh or artificial flowers – it is spring after all!
Don’t forget that you’ll also have your haggadahs at the table, so feel free to incorporate them into your design scheme as well.
