When decorating for Easter, don't just decorate with basic Easter eggs and Easter bunnies.
Instead, decorate with style in classic spring colors with modern flair.
Consider the following Easter decorating ideas:

Easter is not only a celebration of the Easter Bunny but a also celebration of the arrival of spring.
Showcase spring's bounty with a few arrangements of her finest gifts.
Tulips, hyacinth, and daffodils are especially appropriate.
Birds and Bird Nests
In addition to bunnies, consider decorating with birds and bird nests.
You can add decorative three dimensional birds to flower arrangements for extra flair or display bird nests containing eggs or flowers as a symbol of spring.
Artistic Eggs
Instead of just dying your Easter eggs a solid color, consider making them more artistic.
You can use stickers to create stencils on dyed eggs by applying the sticker before dying or between different coats of dye.
You can make plaid eggs by dipping different sides in different colors using many different coats of dye.
Decoupage is another option, you can also use stamps or just hand paint them.
If you do dye them a solid color, consider dying them a designer color (a color that is not a primary color that will compliment the color scheme of your decor - such as turquoise, eggplant, burgundy, silver, or magenta).
Consider using ostrich eggs for added drama.
For more glitz, use glitter, tiny mirrors, metallic paint, or sequins for decorating.
You can even purchase egg holder with legs and feet #ad for extra fun.
Easter Tree
You can either use a small Christmas tree or some sticks in a vase to create an Easter tree.
Decorate your Easter tree with eggs, birds, bunnies, or anything else that reminds you of spring.
The tree can be located on a side table or as the centerpiece of your dining table.
Chocolate
What is the best part of Easter for a child? Most kids would answer CHOCOLATE!
Chocolate can melt and get quite messy, however there are many decorations that look like chocolate but are made of metal or plastic instead.
The dark brown chocolate color grounds all of the pastel colors typically used to decorate for Easter, so it is a good complement.
