The right Christmas decor can set the tone for your holiday festivities, so this year rather than relying on the same decorations you’ve always had why not create a different ambience by incorporating flowers to the mix.
Adding Christmas florals is an easy way to level up your decorating game and dress up your home this festive season. Christmas florals can range from bold red bouquets of Santa’s Favourite Red, to trendy crisp white centrepieces such as the Snowstorm in Summer, and everything in between. Here are 5 chic ways to incorporate flowers into your Christmas festivities:
This is undoubtedly the year to do something unexpected. Opt for flowers instead of traditional embellishments to bring more vibrancy to your home in a way that ornaments can't. Whether you choose real or artificial flowers, don’t settle on one colour scheme when you can work with the whole rainbow. Here’s an idea - swirl flowers in an ombre pattern for a pop of colour from top to bottom to create a gradient. Brighten them up with fairy lights and voila!
Wreaths are one of the most common and popular Christmas decorations. Glam up your Christmas wreath this year with cut flowers among faux evergreen garlands to give your wreath a splash of colour. If you want to spread the season’s spirit around the house, you can do so by fixing the fresh wreaths on walls and windows too. Fact is you can never run out of options with flowers – use roses, poinsettias, peonies, hydrangeas or any others that take your fancy. You can either arrange the flowers in the middle as a focal point or scatter them around the wreath. For an extra merry touch, incorporate a few accents of glitter or ribbon into the mix as well.
Decorating doesn’t have to be time consuming or intensive. Bring in your creativity to the table by fixing a fresh bouquet for A Touch of Christmas as a centrepiece for the coffee table in the living room, or the dining table. When it comes to flowers, you have endless options with Interflora. Whether you are decorating for a get-together or just looking to spruce up your home décor, check out our 2020 Christmas Flowers Collection. There’s no easier way to snag great flowers for your décor or brighten a friend’s day with a gift.
A fresh garland is another simple yet elegant way to add a bit of holiday decor to your home. Whether you’re twisting it around the rails of the stairs or running it across the dining table, adding a few flowers is always a good idea. You can use flowers such as anthurium, hydrangeas, or white or red roses. Real or faux Poinsettia flowers also add a traditional look when tucked into a lush garland.
Use the space over and around the mantle not just to hang your stockings, but to also deck it up with multiple Christmas arrangements. Add some seasonal cheer with the queen of Christmas plants, Santa’s Favourite Poinsettia. Alternatively, you can also proudly display a small but real Perfect Christmas Tree - a must for your holiday decor. Fill vases of different shapes and sizes with Festive Blooms to Celebrate the Season, and use up the space over the mantle for a creative display.
