Creating Beautiful Easter Floral Arrangements
Easter floral arrangements fill your home with springtime vibes and signal that the Easter Bunny will be on his way soon. Easter is a fun holiday for decorating because of the combination of emerging flowers, warmer weather and, of course, the traditional Easter baskets. But nothing captures the splendor of the season like Easter flower arrangements.
There are so many beautiful Easter flowers to choose from — where do you begin when creating Easter floral arrangements at home? This article will share some charming, simple, creative, spring-ready faux Easter floral arrangement ideas that you can make yourself with silk flowers for Easter from Silks Are Forever.
Best Spring Blooms for Easter Flower Arrangements
Many Easter flowers are popular because the flowers have special meanings. Spring flowers that bloom between March and April are used as Easter flower decorations due to their special significance for the holiday. Select your favorites and fashion them into Easter flower centerpieces to add a touch of spring to your holiday decor.
Here are some of our favorite seasonal blooms and Easter floral arrangement ideas to help you create a festive home.
Easter Lilies
With a name like Easter lilies, it's easy to see why they are the quintessential bloom for Easter floral designs. White is associated with innocence and holiness and adds elegance to your Easter floral centerpieces. Arrange them in robin's egg blue decorative vases or baskets.
Forsythia
When you see those first yellow buds, you can't help but feel happy! Add the exuberance of forsythia to your Easter floral arrangements by placing branches of varying heights in a large metal watering can surrounded by potted crocus. Silk forsythia can be shaped into a wreath for a pop of yellow that brightens any room.
Tulips
Tulips represent rebirth and new beginnings, making them extremely popular for Easter flower centerpieces. They are available in close to 6,000 cultivars ranging from bright spring colors to delicate pastels, so finding tulip colors to complement your decor is easy. Arrange them in terracotta pots topped with moss, crystal vases or mason jars filled with jelly beans, depending on your mood.
Daffodils
Daffodils also symbolize rebirth and are sometimes referred to as Lenten Lilies. It's no surprise that these perky flowers are among the most popular Easter flowers. Create a flower arrangement for your Easter table by pairing them with gerbera daisies and tulips.
Baby's Breath
These tiny flowers pack a lot of punch whether they are used alone or combined with other beautiful Easter flowers. Try placing sprigs of baby's breath in a wire basket with speckled wooden eggs and a plaid bow for a sweet Easter floral arrangement.
Cherry Blossoms
If you prefer your Easter flower decorations simple and elegant, line up branches of cherry blossoms on a cloth runner down the center of your table. Tuck a few solid white bunnies or little birds in along the way for some unexpected cuteness.
