Easter preperations

​Part of the fun of special events for me is the planning and the preparation. The lead up to the events is often more exciting than the actual event. Easter for me is one of my favourite holidays to plan for

as there is more time and less pressure than Christmas for example. I feel like I can really luxuriate over the details without rushing it. Sheer bliss to me to be able to enjoy the process

I also love the look and feel of Easter with all of its lighter tones and pastel shades. Baby pinks, blues and lemon are all of my favourite shades and you can really bring them to life with Easter decoratations and spring flowers.

Its also a time when we like to bake, and have the villa filled with lots of pretty and cute treats for visitors... and just for us. A well stocked candy bar at this time of year really goes down a treat. I make sure I pop into my favourite London store Fortnum and Mason just before Easter. They literally have the cutest selection of Easter goodies. We love stocking up on cute iced biscuits and they have this wonderful Easter Tea that we purchase every year.

Spring is also one of my favourite seasons for flowers as you might now by now. An all time favourite are ranunculus — they are so soft and feathery and are look like little ballerinas to me. This year was also the year I discovered bunny grass, which I really feel adds something a little different to an arrangement. It's really my dream to be able to grow all of these things myself in my own cut flower garden. For now, i'll have to make so with arranging. 

Have you ever seen a more beautiful Easter egg? 

I hope you find even a little Easter Inspiration in the post for your own Easter celebrations!
