Pretty Pastel Things To Do Over The Spring Season



As I wrote one of these little posts over the festive season with some girly ideas, I thought it'd be lovely to pop together one for the spring time. I love all of the cherry blossom, Mini Eggs, pretty flowers, pastel colours and cute easter baking so I hope this gives you a few cute little ideas... 



Admire The Beautiful Pink And White Cherry Blossom
One of my most favourite things about the spring time is when all of the beautiful cherry blossom trees start to bloom. I love the soft candy pink shades and the contrast of the white and I think that when the little petals start to fall off it looks like someone has sprinkled pretty pastel confetti. I can't wait to snap a few photos of some of the lovely trees but my one wish is that they lasted a little bit longer! 

Treat Yourself To A Pretty Bunch Of Peonies 
I get really excited when peony season comes around as they are one of my favourite flowers but they only last for a very short season sadly. Last year, I treated myself to some gorgeous soft pink ones from M&S and I think they look like little scoops of strawberry ice cream when they are closed. I can't wait to treat myself to another bunch this year! 

Buy Your Favourite Easter Egg 
I'm not going to lie, one of the best things about the spring season is all of the yummy chocolates that appear in the shops including Easter eggs and I don't think there's a rule that says you can't buy yourself an Easter egg? One of my favourites is the Lindt Strawberries & Cream egg which has a white chocolate shell and comes with little pink mini strawberries and cream balls. I also spotted the prettiest little Moonbeam The Unicorn one in M&S which has a white chocolate shell adorned with a little pink chocolate unicorn horn, pink blushing cheeks and little lashes! 



Splurge On Some New Spring Candles 
Even though the weather is slightly warmer and lighter, I still love to burn my candles and there's nothing nicer than making your living room smell like a fresh spring garden or sugary sweet Easter treats as well as making it really cosy in the evenings. Every spring time, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of the limited edition Yankee Candles as I just love all of their sweet spring scents! Earlier in January, I splurged on two of their candles from the Sunday Brunch collection called Blush Bouquet and Sweet Morning Rose which smell sugary sweet yet floral at the same time. I also couldn't resist a jar of Cherry Blossom which is the prettiest pink and White Chocolate Bunnies which smells delicious! I was really pleased that I also managed to find one of the Bunny Cake candles in an outlet shop as it was one of my favourites last year. 

Have A Cosy Afternoon In Eating Easter Goodies 
As I'm writing this little blog post, it's actually really cold and miserable weather outside which is making me love putting together spring content even more! One of my favourite things to do on a rainy day in the spring is to have a cosy little afternoon in with my candles burning, a fluffy pink pom pom blanket and some yummy Easter goodies. Some of my favourites are Mini Eggs, Milkybar white chocolate eggs or little chocolate Mini Egg nest cakes. 



Make An Easter Hot Chocolate With Bunny And Chick Marshmallows 
Another cute little idea for a rainy afternoon is to make an indulgent Easter hot chocolate in your favourite mug. I can pretty much find an excuse to make hot chocolates all year round but I came across the cutest little pastel bunny and chick marshmallows in Home Bargains which I thought would be perfect and you can add some cream and Easter sprinkles! Putting your hot chocolate in a lovely little mug always makes it taste so much better too so I picked up a sweet little lamb mug in Home Bargains which I think is adorable! I also have a pretty little bunny mug from Sass & Belle and I treated myself to the Bambi mug from the Disney Magical Moments collection as I thought it was so fitting for the spring season!  

Bake Some Sweet Easter Treats 
One of my favourite things about Easter is all of the cute baking ideas and I can't wait to make a few sweet little treats! Last year, I made some adorable little vanilla cupcakes with some fondant bunnies with pink bows, Easter chicks, pretty spring flowers, little egg baskets and adorable pastel Easter eggs with dainty patterns. If you fancy going for something simpler, you could also try some milk chocolate cornflake nests or white chocolate Mini Egg rocky road. 

Visit The Park To See Some Baby Ducks 
On a lovely spring day, there is nothing nicer than going for a little walk around your favourite park in the sunshine. I love to see all of the beautiful spring flowers like daffodils, colourful tulips and cherry blossom and all of the little baby ducks and fluffy white swans in the pond or little lambs in the fields. If the weather is a little warmer, you could also take a fluffy pink blanket and enjoy a girly picnic with sandwiches, strawberries and fondant fancies. 



Buy Some Pretty Spring Daffodils 
As well as loving peonies for the spring season, I don't think there's anything nicer than a sweet bunch of lemon daffodils to brighten up a room. I bought myself a lovely little bunch from the flower market and popped them in my sweet little white love heart jug and added a little pink satin bow to make them even more girly! 

Make An Easter Wreath With Pastel Eggs And A Satin Bow 
I've always really fancied making a little Easter wreath to hang on my front door so I've bought a little straw wreath to decorate! I'm planning on using lots of little chicks, fluffy bunnies, lambs and a selection of pastel patterned Easter eggs to make it look pretty and tying it all up with a lovely pink satin ribbon bow. Another little idea would be to use fresh spring flowers or you could decorate a little Easter basket or bonnet! 

Have A Little Easter Egg Hunt 
Even if you don't have any little ones around, I still think it's really fun to have a little Easter egg hunt and pretend that the Easter Bunny has visited! If it's a sunny day, you could decorate your garden with some pastel Easter signs, cute bunting and hide some little eggs. You could also decorate your house if it's rainy and take a little Easter basket around to collect all of your sweet treats. And the best part? You can sit and scoff all of your yummy chocolates later! 

Splurge On Some New Pastel Clothes To Update Your Spring Wardrobe 
Spring is one of my favourite seasons for fashion as all of the clothes are so much lighter and prettier with pastel colours, ruffles, lace and dainty dresses. I've treated myself to a few lovely little bits recently and I'm planning on popping together a little spring outfit wishlist blog post soon if that is something you would be interested in. 



Make Some Pretty Spring Drinks 
My last little idea for the spring season is to make some pretty pink and girly drinks. I made a pink cherry blossom cocktail over the weekend with some Bailey's Strawberries & Cream Liqueur or you could try a Cottontail Martini and accessorize it with a sweet little bunny. For another little sweet treat, you could also make Easter milkshakes and I can't wait to make a Mini Egg one! 

I hope that this has given you some sweet little ideas for the new season! What do you like to do over the spring season?
