Top 6 Flowers for Easter and Their Meanings

Easter+2+.jpg

Every flower has a meaning attached to it. When you know what those meanings are, you can make flower choices that are perfect for every occasion. Here are six meaningful flowers for Easter:

1 Lily:

A white lily is a very traditional flower for Easter. They represent hope and love.

2 Daffodils:

As one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, daffodils have the meaning of new beginnings and rebirth - very symbolic for Easter.

3 Crocus:

When crocus bloom in early spring you can’t help but smile, the meanings of gladness and mirth are a perfect fit.

4 Gerbera Daisy:

Gerberas, with their daisy-like faces blooming in an array of colours, are considered a happy flower. Gerbera's meaning is cheerfulness.

5 - Iris:

An iris has three main petals. Their meaning has three parts - faith, hope and wisdom.

6 - Tulips:

The general meaning of tulips is perfect love, but every colour also has it’s own meaning: red - declaration of love, pink - caring, purple - royalty, yellow - joy; white - purity.

Suggestion for Easter bouquet:

My Easter bouquet would be a mix of simple, seasonal, spring flowers. Tulips and daffodils plus a few pussy willows - like little bunny tails.

To note:

Daffodils contain a sap that leaks into the water and clogs up the stems of other flowers causing them to wilt quickly. To avoid this happening, cut the daffodils stems and place them in a bucket of water. After several hours, take the daffodils out of the water but do not recut the stems. Place them straight into the vase of mixed flowers.
