Easter Is This Sunday

Turn Up The Family Fun This Easter

Easter Sunday is coming up this weekend! In keeping with the spirit of Spring, Easter celebrates rebirth, renewal, and new life. In Christian traditions worldwide, communities celebrate the resurrection of the son of God. Meanwhile, flowers bloom all around us, trees glow a bright green, and the days grow longer and warmer. The feeling of renewal and awakening that accompanies the Easter season is unmistakable. 

How To Make Easter Sunday Memorable

• Organize an Easter egg hunt in your backyard or local park. Hide colorful eggs filled with treats or small surprises for children to find. If you have children who have outgrown the classic egg hunt, you can also create clues or a treasure map for them to follow, adding an extra element of adventure to the hunt.
• Set up a craft station where family members can decorate hard-boiled eggs with paints, markers, stickers, and other creative supplies. 
• Host a special Easter brunch for family and friends. Prepare a delicious spread of brunch favorites such as quiches, pastries, and fresh fruit. Don’t forget to include traditional Easter treats like sweet buns and carrot cake.
• Embrace Spring in all its glory by planting spring flowers as a family. Visit a local garden center or nursery to pick out colorful flowers like tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths – or plant culinary herbs and veggies. Spend the afternoon planting them in your garden or in pots to add a splash of color to your outdoor space.
• Take time to reflect on the true meaning of Easter and its significance in your faith or spiritual beliefs. Share stories and traditions related to Easter with your family and discuss what the holiday means to each of you. Engage in acts of kindness and generosity to spread love and goodwill on this special day.

The Best Easter Flowers

Easter is a perfect time to decorate with flowers that symbolize new life and hope. The best flowers for Easter are those that symbolize renewal, rebirth, and the arrival of Spring. White flowers have a rich, symbolic history in Easter celebrations. Some traditions claim that white lilies emerged where biblical figures shed tears and sweat during the crucifixion and the days leading up to Jesus’ resurrection. White lilies, often referred to as Easter lilies, are traditionally associated with Easter Sunday’s religious observance. Lilies are perhaps the most iconic Easter flowers, representing purity, hope, and new beginnings. We have several bouquets centered around the Easter Lily, such as our delightful Bounty of Beauty, arranged in a round glass vase. Tulips are another great choice - these beloved spring flowers come in a variety of vibrant colors, including pink, purple, yellow, and white. Tulips are often used to represent the arrival of springtime and the promise of warmer days ahead. Another elegant choice is the mighty Hyacinth. Hyacinths are fragrant spring flowers that symbolize sincerity, constancy, and beauty. They come in a range of colors, including pink, purple, blue, and white, and their sweet scent adds a delightful fragrance to Easter bouquets and arrangements, as in our colorful Springer arrangement.
