If you think decorated trees are reserved for Christmas, think again. In fact, the tradition of Easter trees (called "Ostereierbaum") started centuries ago in Germany. Soon after, the Swedish created their own version with Påskris, a tradition where they string eggs and feathers around trees. Flash-forward to the 21st century, Easter trees are now common in houses around the world, regardless if people have Swedish or German roots (or none of the above).
So, what makes 'em different than the ones you deck out at Christmas? They're typically smaller, less personal (no macaroni picture frames, for example), and not nearly as ornate. But of course, this varies house to house. Whether you're looking for an ultra-festive centerpiece or a decorative accent that'll wow guests, get inspiration from these ideas that are just as easy to put together as they are to look at.
