Setting a Reverent Tone: Good Friday Decor
Observed on April 18, 2025, Good Friday is a time for reflection and remembrance. To create an ambiance that reflects the day's solemnity:
-
Minimalist Color Palette – Try something deep, muted hues such as black, gray, and white. A simple Good Friday table setting with a white Easter table cloth and a black Easter table runner creates a serene and respectful look.
-
Understated Centerpieces – A wooden cross, a single red rose, or an arrangement of bare branches in a vase can serve as a poignant reminder of the day’s significance.
-
Candlelit Atmosphere – Soft, flickering candlelight sets a peaceful mood. Use unscented black or white candles on the Good Friday table decorations to maintain an air of reverence.
