5 Christmas Flower Decoration Ideas to Bring Festive Cheer This Year

Christmas only comes around once a year, and therefore it's vital that we all make the most of it when it does.

When people think of decorating their home, they immediately think of a Christmas tree, fairy lights, and tinsel, but they don't always think of flowers.

Here at flowersbypost.com, we think a festive bouquet makes the perfect Christmas decoration, and that's why we've created this handy guide on five ways to use flowers for decoration this year.

Let's take a look.

Partner Them with Your Tree

Whether you're a tree-up-in-November person, or a last-minute dash to the garden centre one, no home is complete at Christmas without a tree.

Some people prefer a minimalist approach, while some cover their tree in so many decorations that you can hardly see the branches.

No matter which category you fall in, a great way to add to your tree is to partner it with a bouquet of flowers.

Placing your bouquet on a table near your tree, or a windowsill next to it, can really add to the festive environment you are building, and when you use a bright and colourful bouquet with some shiny gold pine cones such as our festive delight or yuletide collections, it can actually help to bring the colours out in both and really make them stand out.

Decorate Your Christmas Table

One of the most important elements of Christmas Day is of course, the kitchen table.

With loved ones gathered together and an abundance of food to tuck into (don't forget the sprouts) this is where a large chunk of the day is spent, so why not make it look really special with a beautiful festive bouquet.

If you love to make your table look extravagant then one of our larger bouquets, such as Navidad is truly eye-catching and with all the added gold cone canes and gypsophila, your full table decoration can be complete with just this one bouquet.

Or, if you're looking for something a bit more subtle, but still with some feature flowers that really pack a punch, why not choose our lily and the rose bouquet.

Delight your family this year as they first set eyes on their festive feast by bringing the table to life with one of our delightful flower collections.

Make an Immediate Impact in Your Hallway

If you're having guests over for Christmas this year, then you may want to get them in the Christmas spirit as soon as they step through the door.

If this is the case, then getting a big, bold, and beautiful bouquet to light up your hallway may be perfect for your home.

One of our larger bouquets, such as our candy cane bouquet or our Christmas wish collection are perfect ways to wow your guests immediately.

A first impression makes a huge difference, and sometimes space in an entrance hall can be limited and therefore it can be tricky to really decorate.

With a larger bouquet that is packed with colour though, all you need is a big enough vase and somewhere to place it and you have something that will get everyone into the Christmas spirit the moment they enter your home.

Use Lights to Bring Your Mantelpiece to Life

Christmas is the perfect time to get cosy, and with the nights drawing in and natural light at a minimum, there's no better time to experiment with some lighting ideas.

Flowers make the perfect partner to lights as you can wrap them around the vase, or around the area the flowers are in to turn any bouquet into a real feature of your room.

At Christmas time, with one of our festive bouquets such as Dear Heart, this can create a really cosy, warm, festive scene right in your living room that is perfect for everything from hosting loved ones to enjoying a nice cuppa with a Christmas film in the lead up to the big day.

If you have a mantelpiece, coffee table, or a sideboard with space spare, then light it up this year and make your festive bouquet the centrepiece of your Christmas room.

Share Your Festivity with Your Neighbours

And finally, who says it's only the inside of your house where you can share your Christmas spirit?

If you have windowsill space spare, then this is a great opportunity to really show off your festive bouquet.

Wrap some fairy lights around your window and place your flowers where the street can see them to spread some Christmas cheer with your neighbours.

With one of our bouquets, such as our red carnations, your sure to catch the eye and get yourself some lovely decorations that look just as good on the outside of your house, as they do on the inside.

Christmas Flower Decoration Tips

So, if you're planning on using some Christmas flowers to spread some cheer this year, here are three quick tips on how to get the most out of them:

Choose the right vase - A vase is important for bouquets as a poorly chosen one can completely alter the shape of your flowers. Too tight, and you may strangle your flowers, too loose and your flowers won?t stand upright. Choose your vase wisely, and don?t be afraid to let your imagination run wild and pick something out of the ordinary.

Feed them - Every bouquet from flowersbypost.com comes with a pack of flower food. This provides everything the flowers need to be strong and healthy for as long as possible, so make sure to put it in their water after arrival. Also, don?t forget to clean the water regularly.

Accessorize - Christmas is a time to cover your home in decorations, so don?t be afraid to add something extra to your bouquet such as tinsel, lights, candy canes, and stars. These can add a lovely touch and will only add to the festive charm your bouquet already has.
