After a long, harsh winter, it's safe to say that most of us are ready for warmer temperatures, sunnier days, and the lush greenery and beautiful blooming flowers that come with spring. Whether you're celebrating Easter or simply welcoming guests round your table to mark the start of a new season, we've got some fun ideas to help transform your dinner party and dining atmosphere. Try using some of these sweet settings and we're sure you'll wow your company.
Say Yes To Doilies - Freshening up your table doesn't have to be a complex or extensive project. A simple doily and string help to give this basic but beautiful floral arrangement a hint of rustic elegance.
Lapin Napkin - Get playful with your napkin arrangements. This charming bunny shape is easy to replicate and is a great way to bring the Easter spirit to the table without going overboard.
Don't Pass On The Pastels - These gorgeous blush-hued roses and sweet pastel eggs combine to make a lovely centerpiece.
Tiers Of Endearment - Centerpieces can be created with items you already own! Try turning a cake stand into an ode to spring. We love the colorful eggs they've used here.
Remember Your Chairs - Dressing up your seats is a cute way to further showcase your theme. It doesn't have to be extremely over-the-top, but a minimal tail and sash highlight the Easter spirit.
Run Away With Burlap - We love this burlap table runner. It incorporates the rustic feel and wholesomeness associated with spring and it also ties the table together very nicely.
Eggcellent Arrangements - There's very little that's as sweet and simple as these eggshell flower arrangements. They're an eggceptional way to bring spring to your table.
We hope these decor ideas help to add a little spring to your step and your table. For more sweet ideas, make sure to follow us on Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram - we've always got tips to share.

One of Birmingham’s favorite pastimes has
finally returned with the start of college football – but on the weekend of
September 20-22, the battle won’t just be on the Astroturf but inside the BJCC.
The Birmingham Home Show launches its new fall edition AND the inaugural Battle
of the Bulbs – a fierce but friendly floral competition.
Seven of Birmingham’s top florists are
unleashing their creativity to come up with over-the-top fall-themed fresh
flower arrangements. Show guests will get to view the gorgeous displays lining
the center aisle at the Birmingham Home Show.
In
fact, guests who “stop and smell the roses” might just find themselves whistling
a happy tune for the rest of the day.
According to behavioral research conducted at Rutgers, The State
University of New Jersey, nature provides us with a simple way to improve
emotional health - flowers.
A team of researchers explored the link
between flowers and life satisfaction in a 10-month study of participants'
behavioral and emotional responses to receiving flowers. The results show that
flowers are a natural and healthful moderator of moods.
- Flowers have an immediate impact on happiness. All study participants expressed "true" or "excited" smiles upon receiving flowers, demonstrating extraordinary delight and gratitude. This reaction was universal, occurring in all age groups.
- Flowers have a long-term positive effect on moods. Specifically, study participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers, and demonstrated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction.
- Flowers make intimate connections. The presence of flowers led to increased contact with family and friends.
The Battle of the Bulbs competitors are:
- Vince Gray Events - www.vincegrayevents.com
- Dorothy McDaniel Flower Market - www.dorothymcdaniel.com
- Continental Florist- www.continentalflorist.net
- Hothouse Design Studios- www.hothousedesignstudio.com/index2.php
- Ricky Whitley - www.rickywhitleyflowers.com
- Leaf n Petal - www.leafnpetal.com
- Whole Foods Market - www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/birmingham
