Why Easter Flower Arrangements are Important for Your Tablespace

The tablescape is what guests first see when entering a party room. Flowers can be used as a centerpiece for an Easter brunch or Easter Sunday table decoration. They set the mood and color scheme in one glance. Spring floral arrangements show your guests you put thought into the meal and welcome.

Layering is the key to creating a beautiful Easter table flower arrangement. Height, texture and color should all work together. Imagine tall tulip stalks rising above low clusters of ranunculus and finished with trailing eucalyptus to soften the edges. A low, wide wooden tray can be used to invite conversation without blocking the view of others. The designs below are available in a variety of styles, including pastel Easter arrangements, bold spring flowers or cottage-style Easter flowers.

Visit your local farmer’s markets the week before Easter to find the freshest flowers and the best prices. The best flowers to use for April tablescapes are tulips and peonies.

Easter arrangements with spring flowers

Knowing which flowers are in season at Easter will make shopping and arranging much easier. For April Easter arrangements, the best flowers include tulips of every color, ranunculus, with their papery layers, peonies, when they are available early from forcing, hyacinths because of their fragrance, Easter daffodils, narcissus, and cherry branch branches to add height and drama. The greens of eucalyptus viburnum and boxwood make colorful spring flower arrangements look fuller and more professional.

Pastel colors remain the most popular choice for Easter flower arrangements. They evoke the freshness and vitality of spring. Do not ignore the dramatic effect of bold contrasts. The contrast of deep fuchsia with bright white, coral orange and cobalt, or rich purple and chartreuse, all create stunning images and are sure to impress guests used to pale palettes.

How to make a simple Easter centerpiece at home

It’s easier than you think to make your own Easter centerpiece. Choose your vessel – a basket or a wooden box. A ceramic jug is also a good option. When using a box or basket, first place a plastic liner inside the floral foam that has been soaked in water. Create your arrangement starting at the bottom: add greenery to the base, then your biggest blooms. Next, add medium blooms. Finally, finish with the smallest accent flowers and trailing elements. Work in odd numbers, and cluster flowers rather than distributing them evenly. This will create the lush, garden fresh look of the best Easter floral centerpieces.

Easter flower arrangements can be made up to a year in advance.

If you keep them in a cool, dark room away from direct sun, most fresh Easter flower arrangements are ready to be used one or two days prior to your event. Floral foam arrangements remain fresh for up to four days. Purchase flowers the day before your Easter brunch, dinner or lunch and arrange them within hours to ensure maximum freshness.
