Springtime is ushered in with various religious celebrations, in the Jewish faith, Passover happens around the same time as Easter. This year, it starts from the evening of April 12th and lasts until April 20th. Passover is a time of remembrance, commemorating the Exodus from Egypt, and a joyous celebration of freedom, family, and tradition.
As you prepare for your Seder table, you might be considering the perfect floral arrangement to add life and warmth to the occasion. Choosing the right flowers can enhance the atmosphere or can be a thoughtful gesture to show appreciation to your Seder host.
Passover falls during the vibrant season of Spring, a time of renewal and rebirth. Opting for flowers that reflect this theme can infuse a meaningful touch to your celebration.
TULIPS
These chic cup-shaped flowers are a classic spring flower that come in a stunning array of colors. They represent perfect love and new renewal–both central themes of the Passover Story. Their upright posture can also evoke a sense of dignity and hope, fitting for the essence of the holiday. Go for a monochromatic look or mix bold hues for a modern flare.
DAFFODILS (NARCISSUS)
Cheerful and bright, daffodils are heralds of spring and symbolize rebirth and resilience. Their white and golden hues can infuse a bit of sunshine to your seder table, either on their own or mixed into a seasonal bouquet.
ROSES
Classic and beloved, roses come in a wide spectrum of colors, each carrying its own symbolism. White for purity and reverence, blue roses to complement the traditional colors. While soft pink, cream, or peach roses can bring an air of gratitude to your seder table or host’s home. For something a little more modern or dramatic, try bold shades like coral or burgundy.
IRISES
With their royal blue and violet tones, irises bring depth and symbolism–representing faith and wisdom. They offer an eye-catching contrast when paired with softer-toned flowers.
LILIES
Elegant and fragrant, white lilies evoke purity and renewal–the major motif of spring and rebirth woven throughout the seder. Their graceful shape adds a sense of structure and serenity to the table.
HYACINTHS
Richly fragrant and beautifully colored, hyacinths provide both scent and symbolism to your arrangement. Choose purple, pink, or white varieties to complement a pastel palette or give a bold floral pop.
SETTING THE TONE
The colors of your arrangement can also contribute to the overall ambiance of your Seder. It’s common to use blue and white flowers, reflecting the traditional colors, the Jewish flag, and the themes of the holiday, but spring offers a delightful palette of possibilities for your Passover floral arrangement.
White - Symbolizing purity, peace, and new beginnings, white flowers like lilies, roses, or carnations create a clean and serene atmosphere.
