Whether you’re hosting a festive brunch, brightening your home, or sending a little love from afar, we have the perfect bloom waiting for you.

Meet Our Seasonal Stars

Some-Bunny Loves You
Our most popular Easter gift—and for good reason! This whimsical arrangement is tucked inside a keepsake ceramic rabbit, making it just as charming as it is thoughtful. With reaching pink snapdragons and cheerful yellow daisies, it brings a burst of joy and a touch of playfulness to any tabletop.

Elysian Fields
For those drawn to something a bit more elevated, this arrangement captures the feeling of “eternal spring” found in Greek mythology. Featuring striking blue delphinium and vibrant tulips, it’s a tall, artistic design that feels both fresh and refined. Perfect for Easter gatherings, and just as beautiful carrying you into Mother’s Day and beyond.

Scent of Springtime (Hyacinth Pot)
Nothing says spring quite like the sweet, nostalgic fragrance of fresh hyacinth. This potted bulb plant arrives in a vintage-inspired tin, finished with a soft lavender bow. It’s a simple, meaningful gift that continues to bloom—and fill a room with scent—day after day.

The Fragrant Meadow (Triple Easter Lily)
Our true showstopper. This 10-inch pot holds three mature Easter lilies, rising nearly three feet tall in a stunning, fragrant display. Elegant and timeless, it’s a beautiful symbol of renewal and a centerpiece that naturally draws the eye.

Caring for Your Blooms

For Fresh Arrangements (The Cut Flowers)
Hydration is Key: Check the water level daily—especially for thirsty blooms like snapdragons and tulips. Fresh water makes all the difference.

Keep it Cool: Place your arrangement away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and drafty windows to help extend its life and keep everything looking its best.

Pro Tip: For your lilies, gently pinch off the yellow pollen centers (anthers) as they open. This helps keep the petals clean and bright while also extending the life of the bloom.

For Your Bulb Plants (Hyacinth & Lilies)

The best part about our potted plants? The gift doesn’t end when the blooms fade. These are perennials, meaning they can return year after year with a little care.

Indoor Care: Keep your plant in a bright spot with indirect light, and water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

Planting Outdoors: Once the blooms have faded and the danger of frost has passed—or in the fall—you can move them outdoors.

The Process: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil and plant the bulbs about 6 inches deep. While the foliage will naturally die back, the bulbs are simply storing energy, preparing to surprise you with fresh blooms next spring.

However you choose to celebrate, we hope our Easter & Spring Collection brings a little extra beauty, joy, and renewal into your season. From playful, whimsical designs to timeless, fragrant blooms, each arrangement is created to help you welcome spring in a meaningful way.

When you’re ready to share the season, we’d love to help. Visit our website to explore the full collection and place your order today—spring is in full bloom, and it’s the perfect time to send something beautiful. 🌷

The story behind our "Old Made New" 2026 Easter Centerpiece.

As florists, we spend much of our time looking forward—watching for the first buds of spring or the latest floral color trends. But this year, as we began planning for the 2026 Easter season, we found ourselves looking backward.

Deep in our collection, we rediscovered a treasure: the Thomas Kinkade's Easter Egg Hunt keepsake.

A Journey to 2008

Originally released in 2008, this hand-painted cottage was designed to capture the "Painter of Light’s" signature warmth. It depicts a scene many of us remember vividly: a sunny morning, a thatched-roof cottage, and the pure, frantic joy of children searching for hidden eggs in the garden.

We knew we couldn't just leave this piece on the shelf. In a world of "fast-decor," there is something deeply grounding about a high-quality collectible that was built to last. We decided to give this heritage piece a 2026 floral makeover.

Designing the "New" Meadow

To honor the original 2008 artistry, we wanted the flowers to feel like a wild, whimsical garden that had grown up around the cottage. Our lead designers curated a "floral recipe" that feels both nostalgic and fresh:

• Lavender Matsumoto Asters: For that classic "cottage garden" texture.
• Sky-Blue Delphinium: To bring the height and clarity of a clear April morning.
• Dark Pink Mini Carnations: For a playful pop of color that matches the hand-painted details on the container.
• Ming Fern & Statice: To create a lush, mossy floor for our tiny egg hunters.

More Than Just a Bouquet

The beauty of this arrangement is that it doesn't end when the flowers do. The Thomas Kinkade cottage is a heavy, high-quality keepsake that can be brought out year after year. It’s a piece of holiday history that you can pass down, just as it was passed to us.

A Very Limited Revival

Because these are authentic vintage containers from our archives, we have an extremely limited supply. Once our small "find" of 2008 containers is gone, this specific design will return to the archives for good.
