Easter often marks the very beginning of spring. Easter is sure to spark a warm feeling and help pull your family and yourself out of the cold winter blues.
Easter Flower Arrangements
There are a lot of different ways that you can decorate for Easter. There is no better way to decorate than setting Easter themed flower arrangements all over your home.
These arrangements can be fun, sophisticated, or even a combination of both.
Picking Out Flowers
The first thing you might want to consider when picking out flowers for your Easter flower arrangements is to figure out what flowers are in season at the time. Purchasing flowers that are in season will help cut down the cost of your arrangements.
There are many flowers that are in season during late March and early April. Some of these include the Calla Lily, Daffodil, Garden Rose, Lavender, Peony, Sunflower, Sweet pea, and Tulips. These flowers are also very Easter appropriate because of their warm pastel colors and happy springtime feel.
Next, decide if you wish to choose more than one flower. Using multiple flowers in your Easter flower arrangements will create the feel of a field bursting into spring life. Mixing large flowers along with smaller flowers also adds to the effect. For instance, you might want to consider using sunflowers and garden roses as your main flower choice and accent these with lavender, sweet pea, and wax flowers.
Another idea to consider when you are choosing flowers for your Easter flower arrangement is to choose flowers in similar colors. This way your arrangement will look sharp and crisp. If you use this idea you might consider using the cheerful sunflower, happy daffodil, a yellow garden rose, yellow tulip, and yellow delphinium.
Traditional Easter Flower
If you want to go with a more traditional flower choice you of course will use lilies. Lilies are used during Easter because they traditionally have represented the resurrection of Jesus Christ (the biblical figure that Christians celebrate at Easter). Lilies are also referenced in the bible (Lily of the Valley) and they also represent purity. You can use a variety of lilies such as the traditional Easter lily and the calla lily. Both of these flowers come in white and will look great in an Easter arrangement alone or accented with brighter flowers.
A final thing to consider when you are making an Easter flower arrangement is to perhaps add a few accessories to your arrangement. You can always use a clear glass or crystal vase if you do not want to take away from your flowers. You can also use a fun Easter pot to add just a touch of Easter spirit. You can also go all out with your arrangement and add plastic eggs, peeps stuck in skewers, or felt chicks. Eggs, chicks, and bunnies are used during Easter because they represent new life and growth.
