This year, the official first day of Spring and Easter Sunday are only 6 days apart – meaning that the bright, fresh flowers that embody the season will be perfect both to say farewell to winter, and to celebrate Easter in beautiful style. Here are some of our favorite Easter flowers to celebrate the season with,.

There are many flowers that are commonly sent at this time of year. The Easter Lily may be the most meaningful bloom, as it pertains to the religious observances of Easter. The elegant, trumpet-shaped flower signifies purity and innocence, hope and new life; these symbolize the essence of the story of Christ and His resurrection. Because of this association, white Easter lilies grace most church altars and services to this day.

Spring is a time of renewal – flowers are emerging everywhere you look, and are one of the ways we know Spring has actually arrived. Sending flowers for Easter is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday with vibrant color – as multi-hued as Easter eggs, these tulips in pink, lavender and yellow will make a gorgeous and appropriate centerpiece for your holiday dinner. Other spring flowers that herald the season and light up an Easter table include forsythia, hydrangea, and daffodils.

On Easter, people search for eggs, fill baskets with candy and enjoy large dinners with family. But sending classic spring flowers continues to be one of the most beautiful and enduring traditions; this year, how about joining us in welcoming spring with a seasonal bouquet? Come into Schaaf Floral of Minneapolis and let us arrange a floral display sure to impress. On Easter Sunday, nothing says welcome to the new season like fresh-cut, seasonal flowers – stop in today!
