The holidays are right around the corner, and Christmas will soon be upon us. When you deck the halls to turn your home into a festive wonderland, flower arrangements are a great way to capture the wonder of the season. Whether you’re elevating your holiday table with the perfect centerpiece or transforming your living space to reflect the colors of the season, finding the ideal Christmas flower arrangements can be the perfect finishing touch for your festivities. This guide shares some of the most cherished Christmas flowers and advice about how to choose the best flower arrangements from Rich Mar Florist for your Christmas gatherings.
Seasonal Christmas Flowers to Include in Holiday Arrangements
Finding the best Christmas flowers begins with knowledge about common color choices and seasonal flowers that exude elegance and joy. Wondering what flowers you should choose for your party arrangement? These are some of our favorites.
- Poinsettia: A Christmas classic with lush, radiant red blooms and verdant green foliage, the poinsettia is one of the season’s most popular plants.
- Holly: With glossy green leaves and vibrant red berries, holly is the picture of Christmas cheer.
- Mistletoe: Add romance and fun to your holiday party and the entire Christmas season with this cheeky plant, typically hung above doorways to elicit a kiss from whomever stands beneath it.
- Carnations: Available in a range of colors, including reds, pinks, whites, and even bi-tones, carnations make a showstopping floral arrangement with their fluffy petals and striking appearance.
- Evergreen Stems: Adding a variety of evergreen stems to Christmas flower arrangements makes the bold florals pop and mimics the natural foliage outdoors.
- Amaryllis: Add a touch of elegance with red, white, or pink amaryllis. These trumpet-shaped flowers bloom for weeks when planted indoors and add a burst of color to any decorating scheme.
Flower Arrangement Styles Suited for Christmas
The sky is the limit when it comes to deciding how to arrange Christmas flowers. Let the location you’ll place arrangements be your guide when you choose from vessels that range from elegant vases to festive baskets or sprawling spreads to adorn your favorite surfaces.
Christmas Flower Bouquets
Christmas flowers often feature long stems and showy blooms, making them perfect for tall vases. Choose arrangements featuring flowers of varied heights and sizes, complemented by dark foliage and greenery.
Centerpieces
From elegant to festive, Christmas centerpieces often appear to lie directly on the surface they adorn. Consider asking your florist to add festive accessories like ribbons and candles to enhance the beauty of the flowers and festivity of the arrangement.
Wall Decor
Mistletoe and wreaths are shining examples of how floral arrangements can be elevated to cascade from the heavens (or a doorway) and trail down walls. These arrangements are typically evergreen-heavy and may be adorned with long-lasting flowers for a dazzling decorative effect.
How to Choose the Best Flower Arrangement for Your Christmas
Since Christmas arrangements are available in so many shapes and sizes, it can be difficult to choose the perfect one for your display. Often, placement and the size of the arrangement will be the top factors in choosing the best Christmas flowers for your home. For example, sprawling arrangements will be cramped in small places, and tall, showy blooms can inhibit conversation when blocking the view across the table.
