Happy Easter from Allen’s Flower Market!

Give a Striking, Meaningful Bouquet This Easter

The Easter season is a moment of renewal and rebirth – both in the Christian calendar and in nature. This is a time when lush flowers announce the joy of Springtime & make mood-lifting colors a part of our surroundings. From leafy green flowerbeds to cheerful pinks, pastel purples, and soft whites, the petals that mark the season are inviting and memorable reminders to observe the joys of Easter.  

In Christian traditions, Easter represents freedom from the somber observation of the Lent season. With this freedom comes Spring’s surge of natural growth – the sun shines for a longer time each day, trees bloom, grasses push out the soil, and flowers dot the landscape. A parade of soft colors and fragrant floral aromas can bring cheer and a spirit of lightness to families and extended communities. There’s no better way to celebrate the Easter holiday week than to take these sumptuous blossoms into your home. 

White Lilies for Traditional Easter Celebrations

Easter flowers are a versatile gift – buying flowers for a family member, loved one, neighbor, or fellow community member is a gentle, kind way to show that you’re thinking of them and wishing them a peaceful transition into Spring. After all – it’s been a long Winter since the Holidays, and chances are, you can have a significant impact on someone with a floral gift. 

For the religious folks in your life, mark the passage from Lent and the appropriately somber Holy Week into this sweet season with a white bouquet. White flowers are a subtle way to insert grace and delicacy into any setting. Perhaps the most fitting white bloom is none other than the Easter lily. The stately elegance of these tall, expansive flowers makes Easter lilies a popular choice in homes and religious settings alike. The white starburst-shaped flowers take their name from the holiday. They are emblematic of Easter, bringing a mood of reverence and of peace. A fresh, elegant bouquet of Lilies makes an excellent gift to show the Easter holiday’s traditional observance and a special appreciation for a loved one you cherish. At Allen’s Flower Market, we love to recommend Beach Rose Garden, our lush set of peach-colored Lilies with soft, full hydrangea, carnations, and accents of seeded eucalyptus. Not only does this arrangement look stunning – it has a lasting, gorgeous aroma that can completely shift the feeling in a room. Lily stems are so well defined and beautifully shaped, they also stand well with no additional plumage. Another option is a potted Easter Lily plant for the green thumbs in your life. What better way to celebrate the season of regeneration and life than with a living, growing Lily? Also, white tulips make for a beautiful table setting or dining centerpiece – and are well suited to areas where you might eat because their aroma is quite faint. White tulips also stand well on their own as an elegant arrangement without any additional plants.

Variations on a Theme: Colorful Flowers for Easter

Just as peace and purity are conveyed by white flowers, Spring's bright hues also carry messages. Nothing says Spring like a golden array of yellow roses. The floral artisans at Allen’s Flower Market can prepare an arrangement with as few as six yellow roses in a sweet glass vase or as many as 18 roses. Or, for a full embrace of all the natural wonders of the season, go for a prism of reds, pinks, oranges, violets, and more. All Smiles is a party-ready, tall assortment of roses, lilies, snapdragons, and more with soft accents of eucalyptus – every color in the rainbow is in this bouquet. Our Long Beach Spectacular bouquet mixes sweet lavender foliage with eye-catching orchids and hydrangea, plus pink and orange roses and accents of proteas for a tropical take on Spring. Or for a playful, feminine take on Spring, check out our gift baskets, such as Butterfly Basket, a wicker-handled white basket filled with aster, heather, stargazer lilies, roses, daisies, and more. Our baskets are gardens that you can carry in your hands!
