Easter these days often brings to mind chocolate eggs and bunny rabbits, but it’s another time of year where flowers play an important role in the celebrations. Churches will decorated with white lilies and a deluge of daffodils. Many flowers are often seen as symbolic and have a meaning which dates far back into history and ancient Christianity and if you want to reflect the season traditional floral colours are predominantly yellows, buttercreams and whites.
Tulips
We LOVE tulips in our farm floristry. They symbolise perfect love, and new life. Bright bunches of tulips represent friendship and happiness.
Narcissi
Symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings, the narcissi is virtually synonymous with spring. They are sometimes called jonquils, and in England, because of their long association with Lent, they're known as the "Lent Lily”.
Lilies
The most traditional symbol of Easter is the white lily. Long considered an ancient embodiment of the Resurrection, lilies today evoke images of purity, hope, new life and serenity.
