Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It marks the end of winter and start of spring, and it’s the perfect excuse to wear pretty pastels and eat all my kids’ candy. I also love planning Easter egg hunts for the kids, especially now that James and Charlotte are old enough to participate. (Check out more of my favorite Easter traditions if you’re looking for some fun ways to celebrate with your family.) Plus, unlike the winter holidays when everyone is getting in the way in the kitchen and the kids are all running around and breaking things, the weather is usually nice enough for all the cousins to run around outside. We typically go to my in-laws for a big family Easter celebration, so it’s also an excuse to look for a cute Easter outfit that I can wear again as the weather warms up. (Basically an excuse to buy a pretty, springy Easter dress.)
I always make sure to take family photos, so I like to plan our Easter outfits in advance. While we don’t usually do the match-y match-y look (although might go crazy and force my family to this year), I like us to try to coordinate at least in terms of colors. I swore I wouldn’t be that mom, but I am, and with all the time I spend hiding eggs and trying not to burn the ham, I deserve my one good family photograph, right? Since I care the most about what we wear (lol), I usually pick out my Easter outfit and then try to find coordinating outfits for the kids and make Andrew wear a shirt or tie in the same color palette.
Even though it’s still pretty cold here, I’m hopeful it’ll be nice enough for a pretty spring dress by Easter, especially since it’s a little later this year. If you’re starting to think about warmer weather and wondering what to wear to Easter brunch this year, I rounded up some Easter outfit ideas. It’s a mix of dressier options and also some more casual options in case you just want to be comfy while the kids run around hunting for eggs in the backyard.
