DECORATIONS FOR EASTER

DECORATIONS - NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS, BUT EASTER TOO!

Decorating for Easter can be as minimalist or as outrageous as you like and, in all instances, you can benefit from the fun factor and another opportunity to dress up your house.The nature of your Easter decorations will be highly dependent on your taste and just how far you want to go. Below are some home decoration ideas with Easter in mind.

Making Easter Special

Consider an Easter Tree

It’s a little off the wall but becoming more popular as we look for fun new ways to celebrate, why not setup your own Easter Tree? Unlike Christmas trees which may take over a whole room, Easter trees tend to be a more minimal affair, miniature inside and usually decorated with egg charms, chocolate treats and occasionally a bunny or chick or two. Some households like to setup a small tableau with the Easter tree at the centre as a sign of your celebrations.

Paper Party

Paper decorations may be a bit retro but they’re also super-cute. Pastel coloured paperchains and banners with Easter animals and treats illustrating them look great in many different homes. You could even create your own Easter lanterns, paperchains and crafts and display them around the home. There are plenty of websites allowing downloads of templates to create fun ideas to make yourself.

Spring in your Living Room

Sprouting branches and delicate blossom are an ideal choice for your home Easter display. They’re understated compared to a blast of homemade paper decs but they still add a lovely Easter feel. To make them a little more festive you could decorate with small Easter-themed baubles and hanging decorations.

Wreaths and Garlands

While we tend to associate wreaths with Christmas, our florists are extremely creative people who create seasonal and celebration wreaths regularly now too. Hanging an Easter wreath on your door may incorporate painted eggs, delicate spring blooms and fresh greenery to give your home a stylish Easter-inspired entrance. Garlands with an Easter theme can also be laid out around the home, adding a different feel to a traditional vase of tulips or daffodils.

The Ultimate Dinner Setting

Easter Dinner is one of the highlights of the whole celebration and your dinner table can be as extravagant and eye-catching as the one you lay out at Christmas. Choose a theme which suits your family and also your meal. For young families go all out with the pastels and brights, cartoon bunnies and chickens. For a more sophisticated setting consider a few choice spring blooms and coordinating earthenware dinner and serving plates. Your table centrepiece could be anything from the ultimate egg display to some elegantly selected sprouting greens, both bringing their own unique Easter twist to the setting.

Crack out the Decs

Decorating is a great way to get in the mood for a special occasion. There’s no reason Easter can’t be just as fun and exciting as other celebrations, so cracking out the decs is absolutely worth it.
