When it comes to Easter decorating, my family in the US has always embraced eggs, bunnies, and pastel colors. It wasn't until I came to the UK that I learned about Easter trees, and even more recently, the Swedish tradition of making a Påskris for the holiday — a decorating idea that blends traditional floral and stem arrangements with seasonal motifs.
"Simply put, a Påskris is a bouquet of large twigs and branches, placed in a vase of water before Easter," explains Swedish interior creator Helena Lyth. The Påskris, or 'Easter tree', is decorated in different ways, honoring the season, and becomes a colorful moment in your home. Think egg ornaments, feathers, pastel colors, and even ribbons.
