Christmas lights are used year 'round these days to create wonderful light displays for each of the holidays. Although Christmas and Halloween still top the list for light decorating, Easter, Valentine's Day, patriotic holidays and seasonal holidays are also gaining popularity when it comes to using Christmas lights for decorating.
Spring and Easter are fun times of the year to add some light and color to your outdoor landscape. The winter months can be dreary and depressing at times, but spring arrives before you know it with the promise of green grass, blue skies, and perennial flowers peeking out in the flowerbeds. Why not spruce up the outside of your house and landscape using outdoor Christmas lights?
Lights to Use for Spring and Easter
This time of year simply begs for colors like pink, purple, green, blue, white, and yellow, so why not use lights to bring a few or all of those colors to your outdoor areas? Here are some great ideas for using Christmas lights to make your spring and Easter display something special.
Trees will look better right away adorned with pastel color lights for Easter. Add hanging Easter eggs too!
Drape shrubbery with purple and yellow lights and nestle plastic blow up bunnies, spring chicks, and eggs in the shrubs
Make a garland of lights for the fence - wrap artificial flowers around the light strings and then drape across the length of the fence
Create a focal point on your porch or at your main entrance - arrange several potted flowers at varying heights along with a few other decorative accents and surround the entire display with yellow and green lights
Turn the mailbox into something special by winding lights around the base and top of mailbox
Light Up Your Walkways, Etc
Outdoor Christmas lights are the perfect way to light up the sides of any walkway, driveway, or garden pathway. It's a great way to illuminate your deck steps, arbor, trellis, or pergola too. Flowerbeds that will soon be filled with gorgeous colorful blooms will look great while you're waiting when you outline them with Christmas lights in colors of green, blue, or white.
Make family and friends feel welcome by wrapping your front porch banister and porch railing with white lights for spring and Easter. After a long winter, lights make everything look prettier, especially at night.
Outdoor Christmas Lights - Great for Summer Too
Leave the lights up for summer get-togethers too! You'll be all set for the family reunion and cookouts with the neighbors without having to work very hard at all. If you already have white lights up, add some blue and red lights for a patriotic decorating theme, which will work well for both Memorial Day and July 4th parties and barbecues.
Think outside the box when it comes to decorating your outdoor landscape and buildings with Christmas lights for spring and Easter and you'll have the foundation for decorating with lights for the remainder of the year!
