Along with winter holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, Easter Sunday is a time for friends and family to gather around the table (and maybe even go hunting for Easter eggs after the meal, especially if there are young children involved). While every family has its own assortment of traditional dishes, there's often another traditional element to a decorated table: the centerpiece of Easter flowers. Since most of us are more than ready to send the winter chill packing, the Easter centerpiece gives us a chance to celebrate the bright colors (yellow, purple, pink, white and more) in the unique, fragrant flowers of spring. Here are dozens of flowers to consider for your Easter dinner centerpiece, or a gift to or from the hostess. There are also a few that you can see on a walk because they're in full, majestic bloom around Easter. If you're not hosting an Easter gathering this year, a floral arrangement can also dress up your office space, decorate a church sanctuary or brighten a friend's day when you hand-deliver them as a gift. We hope our 35 favorite Easter flowers inspire you. Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
