Christmas florals, like Christmas greenery, offer a remarkable number of creative ways to liven up the decorating with bright pops of color. Also, many Christmas flowers are themed to reflect the colors, patterns, motifs, and other visuals of the collections they represent, making it effortless to align your decorating according to a theme.
With that said, here are 4 creative ways to work Christmas flowers into your seasonal decorating.
In the Tree
Dropping some Christmas flowers into your Christmas tree is one of the easiest and most straightforward ways to work with these decorations.
Once you’ve decked the tree with lights, ribbons, ornaments and picks, take a step back and take note of any areas of the tree where the green shines through.
If you can see any areas that just seem like they aren’t perfectly filled in, add some flowers to those areas.
As for which flowers to use, you can use all of one design, or mix and match a few from a single themed collection to reflect the other attributes of your decorations.
The best part is that many Christmas florals are made with long stems that make it easy to secure them in the tree – and you can use the points of branches to help hold them in place if needed.
In Your Christmas Garlands
Garlands are another great place to add some Christmas florals. Just like the tree, once you’ve decorated with other accents, step back and look for voids – wherever you see them, fill them in with flowers.
The same notes go for creating a harmonious overall impression.
In Your Wreaths
One trick with wreaths is to add a flower in one of the “corners.” This will help add the impression of weight to the wreath and will make it much more visually appealing.
Another good tip is to pick a ribbon that matches the color or theme of your flower, make a bow with it, and use the ribbon and flower (or a few flowers) as an ornament for the wreath.
In Swags
You can also use Christmas flowers to spruce up your swags. One way to do this is with a vase; drop a swag or two in the vase, along with some picks that match it, and add a Christmas flower or two to round out the whole piece.
Things to Remember When Decorating with Christmas Flowers
Thinking about incorporating Christmas flowers into your decorating this year, according to one of the methods mentioned here? That’s great – here are some other pointers for success.
- No matter where you use Christmas flowers in your decorations, keep the rest of the decorations in mind. Try to align the colors, highlights, metallic elements, and overall look and feel of the florals in line with your other decorations.
- Trim or bed the stems of your florals as needed. You might not need the whole length for a wreath or garment.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles or colors. You don’t need to use just one type of flower for the whole scene.
- Stagger the sizes. It’s not just color that will make your florals pop, but an assortment of different sizes that will serve as accents to one another.
