The Christian holiday of Easter is celebrated in the spring and brings an energy of hope, joy, rebirth and new beginnings. Not surprisingly, the flowers of springtime are often associated with Easter as well. Consider giving these flowers as gifts to your loved ones for Easter this year:

Easter Lily

1. Lilies

Lilies bring a beautiful, uplifting energy to the home, and the white lily in particular is considered a traditional Easter Flower. Lilies symbolize hope, love and purity, and the white lily represents Christ’s resurrection three days after crucifixion. Lilies are also associated with Jesus’ virgin mother Mary. Giving white lilies for Easter is the traditional flower gift for this holiday.

XOXO Tulips

2. Tulips

Tulip is a quintessential spring flower and considered by some to symbolize love and passion. Tulips are an excellent way to say “I love you” during Easter or any time of year. Consider sending white or pink tulips, or convey even more passion by sending a bold, brightly-colored arrangement.

3. Carnations

Carnations bring a joyful exuberance when given as a gift either on their own or mixed with other spring blooms. Consider white and pastel colored carnations for your Easter gift giving this year.

Early Morning Rain

4. Daffodil

The daffodil is another popular spring flower that is often gifted during the Easter season. Their bright yellow color immediately uplifts a room and brightens the spirits of all who see them. Giving daffodils indicates that you have strong feelings for someone, which can range from respect to romantic love.

5. Daisy

Dashing Daisies

Daisies also bring a special significance to Easter celebrations. They are traditionally white in color and have a sweet smell that symbolizes the peace and purity of the Easter season. Consider letting daisies exude the energy of spring and new beginnings as you send your Easter floral gifts.

6. Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum are similar to daisies but with more detail and adornment in their petals and overall look. They are available in a variety of colors (including white) and mix well with other blooms to make a stunning Easter arrangement.

7. Hyacinth

Bulb Garden

The hyacinth is a unique, fragrant flower with a reverent aura that’s perfect for the holiday of Easter. They come in a variety of colors and can be the perfect way to celebrate the rebirth of the spring season.
