Christmas flowers and how to choose
Over the holidays, you are most likely to receive visitors from time to time. This is all the more reason to ensure that your home looks its best. It is also one of the main reasons why so many people take the time to do some serious cleaning up during the first few days of December or even the final week of November. In many homes, it has become tradition to set up the Christmas tree on the first of December which means that this is also the time to decorate. Christmas flowers and wreaths are often set in areas that are most visited like entrances, kitchens and living rooms. Not sure which blooms to choose? Here are some ideas.

One thing you may notice when shopping for Christmas flowers is that they tend to have a similar colour scheme. The most popular being red and green. Sometimes gold, brown or white can be added. There are also some pure white options or white and blue bouquets. Blue looks great with silver too.
Adding something extra
Christmas flowers don’t need to consist strictly of fresh blooms and foliage. There are plenty of accessories that will make your bouquet look even better! Pine cones, cinnamon sticks, festive flower picks and candy canes are all examples of great holiday-themed accessories you can add. Keep the colour scheme in mind and don’t be afraid to add spray painted items too. You can paint sticks and leaves in brilliant gold or silver, for instance.
Once you have found the perfect bouquet of Christmas flowers, all you need to do is place your order. Let the florist know where and when they should make the delivery. Make sure that you get your order in early. This is a busy time for florists around the world. Once your bouquet arrives, if you like, you can add some personal touches before placing it on display.
