Palm Sunday always sneaks up on me, and somehow every year, I end up rearranging our living room trying to find that sweet spot between festive and peaceful. Growing up in a house where holidays were a big deal, I love carrying those traditions over, just with a bit of my own style thrown in.
You can do so much with greenery and a few thoughtful accents. Palm leaves and soft pastel details are easy cues, but I like mixing in handmade pieces.
If you want your home to feel welcoming, meaningful, and a little bit fresh for spring, there are plenty of ways to add a personal twist to your Palm Sunday home decor.
Here are Palm Sunday decoration ideas to inspire your home as you celebrate.
DIY Palm Cross
Simple and meaningful crosses made with real or faux palm fronds. These are easy to make and perfect for placing on mantels or tabletops. You can even gift them to friends and family as keepsakes.
Palm Sunday Table Decor
I’ve always enjoyed how palm leaves can instantly make a table feel festive and elegant.
For Palm Sunday, I like to use a palm leaf runner and pair it with gold candlesticks or chargers for a polished touch. Small vases of tulips or daffodils add a cheerful pop of color, similar to how I style modern Easter decor for a fresh and seasonal look.
👉 My top tip: Combine different greenery types, like eucalyptus or ferns, with palm leaves for a lush and textured appearance. Don’t forget to use placemats or tablecloths in coordinating shades to tie the look together seamlessly.
Handmade Greeting Cards
Making Palm Sunday cards is such a personal way to share blessings. I use pressed leaves or watercolor paintings to make each card unique and heartfelt. They’re simple to create and let me add a meaningful touch for loved ones.
Palm Sunday Candle Displays
Arrange candles with palm leaves for a serene ambiance. I like to use candles of different heights on a tray, surrounded by palm fronds for a peaceful Easter centerpiece.
Adding scented candles with soft fragrances like vanilla or lavender creates a calming atmosphere.
👉 My top tip: LED candles are a great option for safety and convenience, especially in homes with kids or pets. They also last longer, making them a practical choice for repeated use.
Paper Flower Bouquets
Create paper flowers in soft pastels to add springtime cheer. Combining them with faux palm leaves creates a festive arrangement that lasts all season, echoing the look of beautifully styled Easter floral displays.
Metallic Gold Touches
When I’m decorating for Palm Sunday, gold accents are my go-to for adding a touch of sophistication.
Gold-painted vases and picture frames make elegant displays that feel festive yet timeless.
Spray-painting palm leaves in gold also pairs beautifully with greenery, creating a striking contrast.
👉 My top tip: Pair metallics with neutral-colored candles or tableware for a balanced look. Mixing multiple metallic shades can create a modern yet cohesive aesthetic.
Wall Art with Palms
Frame pressed palm leaves in simple glass frames for an elegant wall art display. This minimalistic decor is a subtle nod to Palm Sunday and blends easily with any style. I like placing them in high-traffic areas for a festive but understated touch.
Decorative Wreaths with Palms
For me, making a wreath for Palm Sunday is always a fun and creative process. I use a wire or foam base and attach greenery with floral wire, layering palm leaves and seasonal flowers.
Adding ribbons in soft pastels or bright colors brings a lively touch to the wreath. I’ve found that preserved or faux palms work best to keep the wreath looking fresh all season long.

👉 My top tip: Choose flowers in soft pastels or bold colors to match the mood of your celebration. Hang the wreath indoors or outdoors, depending on your space’s decor theme.
Entryway Decor
Place a large palm arrangement in your entryway to welcome guests and set the tone for Palm Sunday.
I use tall vases for palm leaves and fresh flowers to make a bold statement. Adding a scripture verse or framed art nearby completes the display.
Scripture-Inspired Decor
Incorporate faith-based quotes or scripture into your decorations. Use hand-painted signs, framed calligraphy, or vinyl wall decals to display meaningful verses. These add a spiritual touch to your Palm Sunday celebration.
Pair scripture decor with candles or small floral arrangements to enhance its presence. Use wooden signs or chalkboards for the perfect canvas.
Final Thoughts
Decorating for Palm Sunday is a wonderful way to reflect on the season’s meaning while bringing warmth to your home. Choose ideas that resonate with your personal style and faith. Whether it’s a simple palm wreath or a glowing candle arrangement, each decoration is a way to celebrate this holy day.
