Easter is the first holiday of the year when so many beautiful flowers are finally in season, and everything is in bloom. If you're hosting a brunch or dinner, you can impress your guests with a stunning Easter flower arrangement that will set the mood. When you shop for fresh cut flowers (or even better if you've grown them in your own garden) look for colourful, showstopping blooms like tulips, daffodils, ranunculus, and dahlias. To create depth and interest, mix and match and consider a few taller stems to create height and draw the eye up.
Get inspired and embrace this spring celebration in style with these Easter floral arrangement ideas.

Vibrant Windows

Test tubes make surprisingly good containers – use a variety of individual sprigs on a small windowsill for instant impact. It's proof that flowers shouldn't just be confined to the table.

Cabbage Leaves
Celebrating Everyday Life
Both cabbage and Brussels sprouts have been used to turn a small assortment of purple and white flowers into this unforgettable centrepiece.
This colour trend has never looked better – it's hard to compete with these pretty pink eggs. But if pink's not your colour, try yellow or blue for a lovely Easter-themed floral display.
Don't forget the mantel! Style a floral garland along the top and combine bud vases, small floral bouquets, and a scattering of painted eggs to complete the look.

If you're hosting Easter brunch outside, opt for a wild, eclectic flower arrangement that blends in with the surrounding environment. Here, designer Heather Taylor recreated the motif on her great-grandmother's plates for a garden party's bouquets. 'Even if guests don't notice the reference, it's a lovely detail that adds a fun symmetry,' she says of the bluebells and marigolds.

Gorgeous Wildflowers

A bouquet of wildflowers will liven up a country kitchen or rustic breakfast buffet table. An aged vase will contribute to the rustic feel. This is the perfect spring centrepiece when you want the Easter meal to feel casual yet thoughtful and special.

Baby's Breath Basket
The Casual Craftlete
Sometimes, it's the most simple ideas that are the most beautiful, such as this egg-filled basket topped with a plume of baby's breath.
Although they normally bloom in winter, paperwhites, aka narcissus, can also bloom in the spring with some water and the right soil. Showcasing a few stems in an unexpected vessel like a mug creates a conversation starter.

An Easter Corner
Mark Scott
Create an Easter corner with spring-blooming flowers (tulips) and traditional Easter decorating ideas (an Easter tree). Incorporate florals throughout and play with height and shapes, from a garland to posies to a hoop wreath.

Ranunculus Bunch
Michael Partenio
Opt for a whitewashed wooden basket if you want your colourful flowers to pop and steal all the attention on your table.
Groupings of posies can be more romantic than one big vase full. Designer and gardener Carolyne Roehm recommends arranging them naturally, like the blooms just came from the garden.

Tulips and Pussy Willows
Vibeke Design
Try something unexpected with your multi-colour tulip arrangement, like Vibeke Design. Just pull a few branches and blend them in organically to add interest to your floral arrangement.

Country Flair
Johhny Miller
Queen Anne's lace and cream hydrangeas take on a rustic vibe when arranged in a wood-lined vase that's tied up with twine. Cut 30 to 40 twigs to the height of a glass vase, then attach them around the vase and tie together.
Keep Easter breakfast and lunch casual with a small jar of handpicked flowers straight from the garden. Use yellow as the accent colour for a bright tablescape.
