Top 12 Flowers for Christmas
Christmas — a time for chilly nights and sweet delights!
With the holiday season come friends, family, and loved ones. Surely, flowers can’t be far behind. We’ve made a list of our top twelve flowers for Christmas that can make your floral arrangements for the holiday season much more beautiful.
Holly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly and spend the holiday season jolly!
This prickly evergreen plant is super popular for holiday season decor. The red berries and glossy green leaves are a great addition to any Christmas flower arrangement. Holly is a great way of adding a natural touch to your Christmas decorations, but be careful of its sharp needles while handling the plant!
Poinsettia
A true Christmas classic, the poinsettia is a native bloom from Mexico and first became popular in the United States during the 19th century. Because the shape of the flower so resembles the Star of Bethlehem, it has become a famous add-on for Christmas decorations. This flower comes in many different colors, but the most popular shades of poinsettia for the Christmas season are red and white.
Berry Branches
Berry branches are the perfect plant for adding a pop of color to any decoration. You can use them as stand-alone decorations or as part of a Christmas flower arrangement.
Roses
What occasion are roses NOT perfect for, really? Roses symbolize love and passion and will definitely fill your home with much-needed holiday cheer. Roses come in many different shades, so you can choose the one that matches your Christmas decorations or simply opt for the classic red rose.
Hydrangea
Hydrangeas paired with delicate shades of roses can create the perfect cozy mood for Christmas. Hydrangea flowers represent gratitude, and what better time to be grateful for all the blessings in your life than Christmas? This flower is most often seen in the color blue, but you can choose green-toned hydrangeas paired with red roses to create a lovely Christmas flower arrangement.
Amaryllis
Symbolizing success and determination, the amaryllis flower blooms during winter and can be the ideal addition to your holiday season floral arrangements. Choose a red or white shade of amaryllis for your Christmas bouquet and add a splash of color and life to your space!
Snowdrops
The snowdrop flower is a symbol of hope and purity and can symbolize all the main ideals that encompass the concept of Christmas. These flowers bloom in winter and come in many colors. We recommend choosing a shade of white that can give the illusion of snow in the winter season.
Christmas Cactus
The Christmas cactus will add just the right touch of Christmas-ness to your home. The best part is that they are super easy to care for and can last for years if you look after them properly. The flowers bloom just in time for the holiday season and come in many shades, such as fuschia, coral pink, magenta, orange, and yellow.
Mistletoe
Let’s be honest: who hasn’t used mistletoe as the perfect excuse for stealing a kiss during the holiday season? This flower, with its tiny white berries and glossy evergreen leaves, is a symbol of love and peace. It can adorn the top of your staircase or just hang in the middle of your living room to add some fun to your Christmas season!
Cranberries
Cranberries are another staple of Christmas flower arrangements and can add a festive splash when used as fillers between branches, as stand-alone decorations, or as accents on bows. Cranberries are ideal for someone wanting to add Christmas cheer to their homes without going overboard.
Evergreens
Evergreens, as the name implies, stay green all year round and are famous for being add-ons to Christmas flower arrangements. They symbolize hope and new beginnings; the branches can be used in multiple different ways. Use evergreens as a filler between flowers. You can also use them to add height to your composition or as festive garlands.
Rosemary
Rosemary is a herb often used in the kitchen, but did you know that it can be used as a flower decoration for Christmas, too? The unique smell and lovely color can add character to your Christmas flower arrangement, adding elegance to the decor.
Best Places to Use Christmas Flower Arrangements in Your Home Decor
Christmas decorating ideas are usually centered around the main attraction of the holiday season – the Christmas tree.
But it doesn’t have to be.
Adding festive greenery by using unique florals and blooms can create a cozy atmosphere for the holiday season in different parts of your home. Here are our recommendations for where to use your Christmas floral arrangements in your home.
The Fireplace
One of the best places to use Christmas-themed flower arrangements is the fireplace. Create a festive look by adding greenery, wreaths, or other flowers on the mantel. Keep the flowers and plants away from the flames if you own a real fireplace.
The Dinner Table
Decorate your dinner table with a marvelous Christmas-themed floral centerpiece. Just grab a vase, some water, and some natural flowers and herbs, and wow your guests with your creativity.
The Stair Bannister
Stair banisters are a great place to add some Christmassy flowers and amp up the holiday look of your home. Throw some flower garlands and green wreaths on the railing, and add cheer to your staircase! Just make sure to secure the decorations so they don’t slip or fall off.
Front Door
Use the festive season to spread cheer all around by decorating your front door with Christmas flowers! Add a wreath or garland along with some colorful lights to give a warm welcome to your guests. This will also help you get into the holiday spirit when you return home in the evenings.
Around the Windows
Windows are another great place to add some different Christmas flower arrangements with lights. Use a mini wreath with a red ribbon, or create some cute window boxes with twinkle lights, fresh greenery and flowers, and colorful Christmas balls!
