Gorgeous (and easy) Easter flower arrangement ideas to try at home 🌷🌼

From table centres to wreaths and room decorations, try one of these gorgeous Easter themed flower arrangements to wow your guests.

By The Good Housekeeping Lifestyle team

If you're looking for Easter flower inspiration, our lifestyle team have been creating beautiful Easter bouquets and Easter tablescapes for many years. With just a little preparation even a few flowers can make a big impact in your home this long weekend.

This year Easter Sunday is on 20 April, so why not try something different in time for the bank holiday activites. You can take a bunch of flowers, including ranunculus, tulips and carnations, and split them into smaller vases or jars and display on a mantlepiece, with foliage and decorations arranged at the bottom to create a stunning Easter flower arrangement.

And an Easter tree decorated with colourful eggs and fresh flowers underneath brings instant springtime cheer to a room. You can add fake flowers if you are looking for a longer lasting but strong effect.

When it comes to entertaining guests, an Easter wreath is a wonderful welcome hanging on the front door. We love arrangements that include tulips and hyacinths paired with pussy willow and rosemary. Otherwise a felt version is perfect to last forever!

There really is an easy, stunning display for every home. And if you prefer to order your Easter flowers online, the Good Housekeeping Institute has tested the best flower delivery services, whether you are ordering for yourself or sending as a gift.

Split the bunch

While a large bouquet makes a great impact, splitting your blooms into a row of smaller glass vases and jars gives each flower more space to shine and is perfect for long narrow places like mantelpieces. Add foliage and decorations around the bottoms to complete the look.

Pare it back

For larger flowers why not take a less is more approach, see how clearly each can be seen and appreciated. It also means they don't take over the display and allow the Easter tree and sweet decorations to share the limelight.

Add seasonal branches to a vase to make a statement. Try to find already broken branches on the floor in a park instead of breaking off any new growth from plants.

Bold but simple

These bright eggs contrast beautifully with the soft pink roses. Even better if you decorate your own Easter eggs to really get into the crafting spirit.

Large glass vases look simple but striking and seeing extra green from the stems makes the room brighter too. Just make sure you replace the water and retrim the stems after a few days!
