7 Ideas for Elegant Easter Decorating
Easter is a holiday that celebrates aspects of renewal, rebirth, and the splendor of life. Nestled in amongst the budding months of spring, decorative elements for this event will often include natural themes, as well as soft pastel colors to mirror the beauty of the outside world. The following are a series of ideas to help inspire Easter decorating endeavors.
1. The Easter egg is a basic symbol of the holiday. Traditionally decorated as a shared family event, eggs can be painted, dyed and dressed in a variety of ways. Once complete, these eggs can be hidden throughout the home and garden, or displayed as decorative ambassadors of color throughout your spaces. At the end of the day you can make a game of finding each and every egg, ensuring that the kids will help with the cleanup without even knowing it.
2. Pastel colors such as soft pinks, blues, and green hues, are representative not only of Easter, but also of the spring and nature and renewal itself. Use these in pillows, throws, and curtains, to create soft, joy filled spaces.
3. Use candles scented with the fresh aromas of spring to infuse the very air with a festive energy. Candy flavored candles can create a sweeter sense of atmosphere within your spaces.
4. Since Easter is so heavily associated with spring, many people choose to draw their decorative endeavors outdoors to the lawn and garden. Plastic figurines and blow up floats can be used to turn the outside of your home into a festive and whimsical world of magic.
5. Often considered one of the sweetest holidays, bowls of brightly colored candies can be set throughout the space to add touches of color while also offering friends and family a sweet treat.
6. Bunnies are another symbol of the holiday, and a variety of decor pieces featuring these floppy eared fuzzys can be found including napkin rings, salt and pepper shakers, banners, and place cards.
7. Setting an elegant Easter dining table will draw from all of these elements in order to create a space which celebrates the occasion. Napkins and table clothes can be purchased in various Easter colors, while bowls of candies and treats can be set out to punctuate the scene. Candles will often add a spiritual element to the space, while beautifully colored Easter eggs can become edible décor throughout the arrangement.
