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
