The Best Types of Easter Flowers
I have so many favorites for the spring season, it’s hard to list them all! However, I can certainly say that the most common blooms in March and April are the ones I always tend to use.
This is simply because they are so inexpensive and accessible at my local floral sources. (i.e. grocery stores!) There are many popular Easter flowers, including the following:
- tulips
- hyacinths
- hydrangea
- herbs
- lilies
- roses
- ranunculus
- daisies
- daffodils
Tips
- Choose flowers that look good in low, easy-to-see-across centerpieces. I spent many years of my early career as an event designer, and I noticed that guests always preferred the lower, more intimate table settings.
- Add eggs to table decor – they are the ultimate sign of spring and so inexpensive.
- How to be Your Own Florist – These are my favorite tips and tricks for designing that I’ve acquired over years of practice! I’m not a florist, but I pretend to be one!
