Easter rolls around the same time as spring: a time of new beginnings, joy, pastel, colors, and floral patterns.

When you get invited or want to host an Easter party, you should bring the right floral arrangement and make a hit.

As the name dictates, the Easter lily is a popular flower during this holiday. The white petals have religious symbolism like purity and rebirth.

This flower's origins come from the southern islands of Japan, and it naturally doesn't bloom in the spring.

Often, popular eastern flowers are picked because they bloom during springtime and are symbols of rebirth. The Hyacinth also blooms in early spring and comes in shades of purple, which is one of the Easter colors.

Other popular holiday flowers for Easter are the daffodil, tulip, and daisy.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the season to be thankful, gather with family, and also at the height of fall. We see fall colors everywhere as the leaves begin to turn before falling off the trees.

Thanksgiving holiday flowers should represent the fall colors such as reds, yellows, orange, and others.

As roses colors meanings go, the orange rose is a symbol of energy and enthusiasm. And due to the orange tones, it also symbolizes an ever-burning flame.

These bright yellow flowers are rays of sunshine and can make anyone feel warm inside by brightening up their day.

The poinsettia has different Christian symbolism that makes it popular for this holiday. The petals of the flower are said to represent the star of Bethlehem. They naturally bloom during Christmas time.

The Christmas cactus is another popular one among holiday flowers. Although it's associated with the Christmas season, it actually calls the rainforest home and prefers a humid climate.

The Amaryllis flower is also seen decorating homes around Christmas time. The amaryllis is native to South America and comes in red, white, pink, and orange. The white flower is popular during Christmas time.

Other popular flowers include paperwhites, orchids, frosty fern, and rosemary.

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve parties are all about extravaganza to say goodbye to a new year and welcome a new one.

The Iris flower adorns floral arrangements for New Year's Eve decorations due to their long stems and colorful bulbs. They get their name from the Greek goddess, who was the messenger of love.

You can also see hydrangeas decorating flower arrangements for New Year's Eve. The flower has origins in Japan and it made its way to America in the 1700s.

Hydrangeas come in a variety of colors such as pink, purple, white, and blue. The purple ones are a symbol of wealth and abundance, which is why they play into New Year's Eve traditions.

Other holiday flowers include orchids, lilies, peonies, tulips, and many others.
