But only some flowers fully reflect the symbolism of Easter. How to choose the rightflowers for the Easter tableand how to make them a wonderful decoration for many days? Here are some practical tips.
Narcissus are the most popular flowers for the Easter table
Easter is an amazing time. Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus.It is a time of great joy and family celebration. That is why we prepare ourselves very diligently for these holidays every year. We plan dishes and decorate houses. Over the years, it has become more and more popular to decorate your houses and apartments with various Easter decorations, just like it is done at Christmas. However, during Easter, we have a much richer selection offlowers for the Easter tableEaster is not only a spiritual revival. It is then that nature also awakens to life. The first flowers bloom, the trees and shrubs turn green with the first leaves. Therefore, it is worth introducing this natural bloom of flowers and plants to Christmas decorations in our homes.
Flowers on the Easter table are one of the most important elements of Christmas decorations. After all, it is the Easter table that is where the family gathers.The flowers for the Easter tableshould be alive, of course. They can be cut or grown out of an onion.The choice of species here is very wide, from tulips to sapphires, crocuses, to narcissi, daffodils and lilies. These spring bulbs bloom during the Easter season and symbolize new life reborn from a flower bulb. Therefore, they are a traditional Easter element and are perfect asflowers for the Easter table
Cut flowers for the Easter table
If we want a beautifulbouquet of cut flowers on the Easter table , it is worth choosing daffodils that actually bloom during Easter. It is worth knowing that the daffodil is a species of narcissus. However, unlike the common narcissus, a daffodil can have several (2 to 6) flowers on one stem. Until recently, you could only buy yellow daffodils with a single whorl of petals. We now have a much wider variety of daffodil varieties. We can buy yellow with a full flower or white with a yellow or orange trumpet. The color of the daffodil flowers harmonizes with other Easter decorations, such asyellow chickens. That is why daffodils are undoubtedly the most popularflowers for the Easter table
Spring-blooming tulips are also good flowers for the Easter table
Ascut flowers for the Easter tabletulips are also perfect, from single to parrot. Tulips at this time of the year are available in different colors and sizes, so you can create multi-colored bouquets from them. In addition, they are quite cheap, widely available and not a problem as cut flowers for a vase.
The most meaningfulflower decoration for the Easter tableare white lilies. The white lily is considered a symbol of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus three days after his crucifixion. The large white lily flowers represent the purity of the new life that comes through the resurrection of Jesus. Lilies are therefore a very meaningful and symbolic accent among Easter decorations.However, not everyone likes their smell, and the pollen falling off their stamens can easily stain a tablecloth or someone's clothes. That is why lilies asflowers for the Easter tabledo not have as many supporters as daffodils or daffodils. However, if we choose lilies, we can prevent pollen from falling by cutting out the stamens or spraying them with hairspray.

Onion flowers for the Easter table
It is also worth noting thatflowers for the Easter tablecan be not only cut but also sprouting from bulbs. The group of onion flowers for the Easter table includes narcissi, hyacinths, sapphires and crocuses. You can create compositions as impressive as bouquets of cut flowers.
An interesting idea for a composition ofonion flowers for the Easter tableis to put them in a glass vessel, e.g.a wide bowl. Cover the bottom with natural moss and stones. Place hyacinths and sapphires from the pots and clean their roots from the soil under water. We weave the cleaned plants with the roots between the moss and stones to keep them vertical. The composition arranged in this way is a great alternative to a bouquet of daffodils or tulips.

As seen inflowers for the Easter tablethere are many ideas. And it really depends on us which species we choose. Will we decide to stick to daffodils only, or will we mix daffodils with other bulbous flowers.
It is also worth remembering that the composition offlowers on the Easter tableshould also be repeated in other places of the house, e.g. in the kitchen and hall. Of course, it does not have to be the same large composition, but if, for example, we chose a layout of hyacinths, it is worth placing several in a pot in different places in the house, remembering to keep the same color that we used for the main composition. Thanks to this, the decoration of our house will be more consistent and, as a result, prettier. Katarzyna Matuszak
