Easter Décor Ideas: When to Put Up Easter Decorations

Timing your Easter decorating will allow you to embrace the holiday without feeling rushed. While there’s no strict rule, most people decorate four to six weeks before Easter, typically around the beginning of March or after St. Patrick’s Day.

If you prefer early spring décor, start with pastel accents, floral arrangements, and Easter candles in late February or early March. As Easter grows closer, you can bring in more themed elements like bunny figurines, decorative eggs, and Easter wreaths to complete the décor.
