4 Creative Christmas Floral Decorations

1. Christmas Floral Wreath

Though wreaths are on the popular list of Christmas decorations, they can be quite pricey. So instead of buying ready-made ones, why not try creating your own? Not only will your wallet thank you, but you can also have the liberty to customize the designs according to your liking. If you’re on the lookout for unique materials to use, flowers definitely make a great choice as Christmas wreath decorations! You will never run out of options – you can use roses, poinsettias, peonies, hydrangeas, protea, lavender, ranunculus, and many other more. If you want to take the practical lane, opt for florals that are in season since they are much cheaper. 

Bring your creativity to the table by fixing some fresh blooms to the evergreen garlands. You can either arrange the flowers on a focal point or scatter them around the wreath. For an extra merry touch, include a few accents of glitters and ribbons. You can hang these Christmas floral wreaths where you please. The front door can be a great spot to give the guests a warm welcome. If you want to spread the season’s spirit around the house, you can do so by fixing the fresh wreaths on walls and windows. 

Tip: Want to achieve that vintage holiday appeal? Try pressing poinsettias before inserting them to the wreaths! 

2. Floral Christmas Tree Trimmings

Gone are the days when holiday decorations are limited to only a few traditional ornaments. Yes, it is out of contention that balls, tinsel, garlands, and burlap wreaths breathe life to the towering trees at the corners of your home. But that doesn’t mean you can’t explore other creative ways to decorate. In fact, you can now incorporate fresh flowers to your Christmas tree trimmings! 

No one knows exactly where and how the trend started, but some sources claim that the floral Christmas tree inspiration came from a “DIY Floral Tree”  tutorial posted on Design Love Fest. Regardless of its origins, the fact remains that more and more people are breaking the typical yuletide designs and getting swept by festive blooms as Christmas tree decorative pieces!

You can go for the classic rose, poinsettia, and peony. But you are also free to experiment above and beyond by putting bunches of sunflowers, lilies, and orchids to the tree. Once finished, these “floral Christmas trees” might look extremely fancy, but they can also be homey centerpieces in the living room.

Tip: Choose flowers with large heads as main ornaments. You can use the little blooms to fill the gaps along with foliage such as pine and ferns. 

3. Candle Holders

Whether it be for aesthetic or scents, candles are often the go-to decors for people who aim to elicit class and elegance along with the holiday spirit. If you want to go the extra mile with your Christmas decorations, you might as well infuse floral accents to the candle holders. Not only will they enhance the visual appeal, but flowers also bring a vibrancy perfect to brighten up every home this yuletide season. 

Note: If you’re using faux garlands, don’t let it come too close to the candle so it doesn’t catch on fire when the wax begins melting down.

4. Flower Vases

Decorating doesn’t have to be a labor-intensive routine. You can opt for simple and sweet flowers arranged beautifully in vases. Just find a large glass or any posh container and fill it with freshly cut roses, baby’s breath and pieces of pine or lush greenery. You can also customize plain vases by wrapping birch bark or twigs around them. Another method is by tying a cute red plaid ribbon around white vases, making them appear like candy canes. To better accentuate the holiday spirit, add cranberries in the bottom of the glass. 

When it comes to flower types, you basically have endless options. But for this particular season, among the popular list are flowers with red hues, such as roses, carnations, and alstroemeria. You can also achieve that wintry magic with white-stemmed lilies, chrysanthemums, and white roses. 

These flower arrangements can be lined down the dining table as a centerpiece and also make a perfect item for your guest bathroom sink.

 

Whether as gifts or as decorations, flowers indeed come in handy in almost every occasion. There are many ways you can use floral arrangements this holiday and you can take these 4 creative ways as inspirations. But regardless of how you design your Christmas wreath or what ornaments you choose to put on the Christmas tree, what really matters is the people that gather around these decorative items. Yes, Christmas trimmings help turn the holiday spirit on. But even the most extravagant ornament cannot beat the joy of sharing merry moments with family and friends.
