Here are some ways to add color and surprise to Christmas with a bouquet of flowers:
I. Decorating the Flowers Themselves
Adding Christmas Elements
- Spray gold or silver glitter spray gently on the petals to make the flowers look as if they are covered with ice, snow or magic powder. Be careful to keep a certain distance when spraying to avoid damaging the flowers. For example, when white lilies are sprayed with gold glitter, they will have a luxurious Christmas atmosphere.
- Tie small Christmas bells on the ribbon of the flower bouquet. When someone passes by or there is a breeze, the bells will ring crisply, adding a lively festive atmosphere. You can choose delicately carved metal bells, such as those with snowflake patterns.
- Use thin wire to skillfully attach some small Christmas decorations, such as mini Christmas balls and small snowflake ornaments, to the flower stems or between the petals. For instance, intersperse red and green Christmas balls among white baby’s breath to make the bouquet more Christmassy.
Color Coordination
- Choose flower colors that match the Christmas theme. The traditional Christmas colors are red, green and white. You can pair red roses with green pine branches and add some white baby’s breath. Such a combination can immediately remind people of Christmas wreaths and decorations.
- Besides the traditional colors, you can also incorporate some light blue or light purple flowers with a wintery atmosphere, such as blue delphiniums or purple lilacs, to create a dreamy feeling like “Frozen”.
II. Placement and Scene Creation
Indoor Placement
- Place the flowers under the Christmas tree as one of the decorations under it. Use a beautiful ceramic flower pot or a wicker basket to hold the bouquet, and surround it with some Christmas presents. When the family gathers around the Christmas tree, the fragrance and beauty of the flowers will add a warm and cozy atmosphere.
- Place the flowers on the dining table as a centerpiece. You can choose a long flower trough to place the bouquet in, and then place some candles (preferably Christmas-scented candles like cinnamon or pine-scented ones), Christmas cookies and small ornaments around the flower trough. During the Christmas dinner, the presence of the flowers will make the dining environment more elegant.
- Place a small bouquet of flowers on the mantelpiece. If there is a fireplace at home, placing a small bouquet on the mantelpiece and pairing it with some Christmas stockings and family photos will fill the whole space with festive joy and warmth.
Outdoor Display (if applicable)
- Place the flowers on the doorstep. Use a flower stand with Christmas patterns to display them. For example, a metal flower stand with Santa Claus or reindeer patterns. In this way, when guests come to visit, they will first see the beautiful flowers and feel the warm welcome of Christmas.
- For families with a courtyard, you can place the flowers on the courtyard tables and chairs. Use a wooden flower box to hold the bouquet, and then spread red or green Christmas tablecloths on the tables and chairs to create an outdoor Christmas leisure corner.
III. As Part of Gift Wrapping
- When you give Christmas gifts to others, wrap the flowers and the gifts together. You can use a large piece of Christmas-themed wrapping paper to wrap the bouquet and the gifts together and tie them with a ribbon. In this way, when the recipient opens the package, the first thing they see will be the beautiful flowers, which will bring a double surprise.
- Place the flowers in a beautifully decorated gift basket. The gift basket can also contain Christmas chocolates, scented candles, small toys and other gifts. This combined gift basket is very suitable as a Christmas gift for families or offices.
