Christmas just isn’t the same without flowers, and with the festive season fast approaching, one of the many pleasures to look forward to is enhancing your home with Christmas flowers and wreaths.
As the song says, you can, of course, deck the halls with boughs of holly, but there are so many other ways to enjoy the beauty of seasonal blooms in your home, says David Marshall of leading on-line florists, Clare Florist. Here are his suggestions for making the festive season even more special.
The Christmas dinner table is a good place to start, with a stunning floral table decoration. Deep velvety greens, rich reds and burnished gold tones are traditional, but white lilies and roses are popular too, as are carnations and delicately scented freesia.
And why not add a touch of festive sparkle? Floral decorations with a sprinkling of glitter catch the light and create a festive ambience throughout your home. Many of our Christmas decorations also feature an assortment of pine cones and berries for that authentic festive appeal.
Flowers are a welcome Christmas gift too. Whether you choose to send a beautiful flower arrangement or a Christmas wreath, you can be sure that your family, friends, or your clients in the business world will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
It is also a busy time of year for festive business hospitality and office parties. So, if you are planning an event, remember that the sight and scent
of a stunning floral display or seasonal floral decorations will make the occasion even more memorable.
At Clare Florist, we understand that our customers are busy people, so we offer flexibility, with next day and same day delivery services available. As we are on-line florists, we make it easy for you. Everything can be organised on your phone, laptop or tablet.
And you can be sure of a quality service: all of our flowers are hand-tied and arranged by our expert team of florists and will arrive in perfect condition.
