1. Red, white, and deep green flower bouquets are always a sure sign
of Christmas. The type of blooms you put into a Christmas bouquet isn't
nearly as important as the color scheme. Including vibrant green leaves
and stalks with red or white flowers will given even a monochromatic
bouquet an instant Christmas feel.
2. Tired of the same old thing? There are many flowers available
that have vibrant red blooms and may not be thought about as
traditional holiday flowers. Consider roses, chrysanthemums, carnations, and even tulips.
3. For white accents, amaryllis and narcissi are always great
choices. The height of these flowers contrasts nicely with a low
bouquet.
4. You can't go wrong with holly! The waxy green leaves and bright
red berries of the holly plant make a great accent for any type of
holiday bouquet. Or make a bouquet entirely of holly branches. Even
better . . . give a potted holly plant as a gift!
5. For holidays other than Christmas, like Hanukkah or even New
Year's, consider a festive bouquet that centers on colors like white,
silver, and blue. If you can't find blooms in those colors, choose
tall, gorgeous white flowers with deep green stems, and then accent the
bouquet with blue and silver ribbons.
6. Wreaths
are an appropriate choice for any festive winter holiday. Start with a
plain evergreen wreath, then accent it with the blooms of your choice
in any color theme.
7. Giving flowers as a hostess gift
over the holiday is a great idea. Bring a beautiful bouquet that can be
used to dress up the dining room, or provide the hostess with flowers
growing in a festive pot that she can enjoy for a long time to come.
8. Giving flowers for a holiday in a corporate setting? Don't forget
about restrictions like allergies. Some workplaces may not allow highly
scented blooms (or any at all), and some may have space restrictions.
Call beforehand to be sure your holiday bouquet will be welcomed.
9. Flowers are a popular holiday gift
because of the fact that everyone enjoys them. When it comes to
choosing a gift for someone you don't know very well, or for whom other
types of gifts might not be appropriate, you can't go wrong with a
bouquet of festive blooms.
10. There's a reason that florists do good business well into the
winter season. It's because flowers are simply one of the best holiday
gifts around. Lessen your shopping stress this year with the perfect holiday flowers!
