A BOUQUET IN A BOX
Styling sunny daffodils in a hatbox creates
a spring-happy look that’s bursting with
brightness. “Daffodils are incredibly cheerful
after a gray winter—they’re perfect for lifting
everyone’s spirits!” says Newbery. “Here, the
blooms burst out of the box, signifying that
spring has sprung.” To do : Set a water-filled
vase in a hatbox and fill the vase with 4 dozen
daffodils in several varieties. Fan out blooms
over the box rim and set the box lid on top.

SWEET ‘NESTED’ SETTINGS um
Placing a pretty (and edible!) bird’s nest
at each setting offers guests a festive and
happy hello as they take their seats! To do :
Pick up a tray of cress or microgreens from
the grocery store or garden center and nestle
in a small bowl or ramekin. Place a deco-
rated hard-boiled egg on a spoon and stand
the spoon in the center of the greens. Set a
craft-store chick accent atop the greens, then
display finished bowls on a tray or add one to
each place setting.

This Easter, florists are
putting fresh twists on classic
displays—and the results are
stunning! Here, floral pro Georgie
Newbery shares her easy
ideas for your table
