A Guide To Beautiful Easter Flowers
We love this time of year because the Easter long weekend gives us some much-needed relaxation and quality time with our loved ones. Easter in previous years were spent with kids running around hunting for their chocolate eggs, and visits to the local church. We reminisce on enjoyable times spent camping, and have a big lunch gathering at our home with family and friends.
This year will be different, but there are still plenty of ways to share the love with the people in our community, without compromising the health and safety of our loved ones. While this is a time of uncertainty, there are still fun ways to find the ‘normality’ as we celebrate this season.
Share the love with flowers this Easter
Instead of lining up at the supermarket, why not write a personal card and deliver a box of chocolates, or a beautiful bunch of flowers to your partner, mother or even your neighbour? Tulip Bunch is significant throughout this period, as tulips symbolise love and new life.
Daffodils are also symbolic to the Easter season, as they have the meaning of rebirth and new beginnings. The gorgeous yellow brightens up every space, making them an excellent gift for a loved one.
Another flower relevant to the Easter season is the Easter daisy. They’re a tiny white daisy that only blooms during Easter time. The size of these flowers makes them perfect for filling jars and tins to use as the centrepiece for your Easter lunch table.
Use home delivery to support your locals!
Ah, the beauty of the online world. There’s nothing more exciting than getting that notification that the postie is delivering your order today, or receiving a surprise gift in the mail. We suggest that this Easter, you support your local businesses by using their home delivery services.
No matter what else gets thrown at us, the little things don’t need to change. We can still seek happiness and find ‘normality’ in whichever way we can during the Easter season. There are plenty of fun, indoor activities to do with the kids, such as painting some hard-boiled eggs! An added bonus, they make for a healthy snack!
From all of us at Amazing Graze Flowers, we wish you a Happy Easter.
Stay safe, healthy, and indulge in lots of chocolates!
Iconic Easter Florals and What They Represent
Easter is a meaningful time representing new growth and fresh beginnings – including beautiful blooms. In Australia, Easter is all about families. Flowers are a beautiful way to decorate for the holiday or let loved ones know that you’re thinking of them. There is a selection of different flower varieties that are iconic to this holiday – find out what they are and what they signify, then order yours from Amazing Graze for same-day flower delivery this Easter period.
Tulips are heavily associated with Easter and are widely known to signify perfect love – their unique, bell-shaped blossom also bears a heavy resemblance to an Easter egg. Different colours of tulips represent different feelings: red signifies true love, yellow represents happiness and cheerfulness, white sends a message of forgiveness or a clean slate, and purple symbolises royalty.
Daisies are a gorgeous, delicate symbol of purity, innocence and gentility. Their wildflower-esque appearance gives them a beautiful, whimsical feel. Daisies commonly bloom in shades of white and yellow, both colours reminiscent of the Easter period. They are beautiful on their own but can also be the perfect complement to other blooms in a big bouquet.
Daffodils
Daffodils are a bright, beautiful reminder of new beginnings and rebirth, similar to other floral bulbs. In England, they are often referred to as ‘Lent lilies’ because they have long been strongly associated with Lent. Gifting daffodils to a loved one is thought to show them that they are the only one for you; superstition says a gift of daffodils will ensure your happiness together.
Rhododendrons
Rhododendrons are native to sunny areas, which means they are abundant in Australia. They are a common symbol of beauty, optimism and energy. Like tulips, different rhododendron colours mean different things. Red is associated with passion and sensuality, pink shows sympathy or is intended to bring calm to the recipient, and yellow evokes positivity and happiness. They are commonly found in wedding bouquets and can be the perfect addition to a bright, cheerful bouquet.
Although known as Christmas lilies here in Australia, most parts of the world refer to these beautiful blooms as Easter lilies. Apart from smelling glorious, lilies are a strong symbol of purity and resurrection. They are often given as a gift of gratitude or associated with motherhood. Lilies are one of the most popular flowers to gift at Easter; they are beautiful on their own as well as in a bouquet with other varieties.
