10 great ideas to create wonderful Easter trees

Putting up an Easter tree is a tradition that is gaining ground everywhere. If for some it's a symbolic way to honor Easter and its religious aspects, others see it more as an occasion to celebrate spring and all the beauty the season brings.

Irrespective of motivation, the main elements of an Easter tree composition are flowers and eggs - both symbols of rebirth and abundance.

Below, are some ideas on how to customize your Easter tree:

The classic branches inserted in a vase and filled with hanging colored eggs, can make a great impression just by themselves.

If you want to add a few more details, you can replace the vase with a basket or a small fence,surrounded by eggs and cute bunnies (another famous Easter icon).

If a classic Easter tree isn't your thing and you want to make something more original, a great idea is to frame a branch which has been decorated as an Easter tree. The result will be an unusual and eye-catching.

For those who don't like using bare branches, another winning solution is to create compositions using flowers, leaves, plants and lots of other greenery.

For a decoration in a shabby chic style, pastel shades mixed with the white of the branches, the vase and the base are highly effective. By adding other details, such as ceramic rabbits and chocolate eggs, the result will be truly enchanting.

Staying with the classic and choosing simplicity, you can decorate using the traditional peach or cherry blossoms branches and hanging painted eggs from them. By avoiding mixing colors, you can choose one that best represents you and/or which matches the environment.

For those who are less traditionalist and more attracted to a symbolic representation of spring rather than Easter, a unique decoration can be made using colored butterflies (which replace the traditional eggs and flowers).

Inserting objects such as branches, eggs and bunnies into the pot/vase of a houseplant can certainly change its appearance and make it a splendid Easter tree.

In a house with minimalist and refined furnishings, adapting the Easter tree by choosing similar shapes, colors and materials is, without a doubt, a perfect choice.

Finally, if you want a truly classic effect, just use a lot of white and pink. Those who are fans of tradition will surely appreciate the result.
