This spring-forward tree has a lighter and more natural appearance than the other two designs. It combines pastel plaid ribbon, decorative mesh, butterflies, birds, rabbits, chicks, eggs and botanical picks. Because it does not depend on a large Easter sign, many of its decorations can remain in use throughout the spring season.
Reuse first: Use your green tree, pastel ornaments, bird ornaments, butterflies, floral stems, decorative eggs and an existing spring tree skirt.
Suggested purchasing priority: Begin with the plaid ribbon, natural mesh and pastel berry sprays. Add bunny, bird and butterfly ornaments only where additional themed details are needed.
