There is definitely a festive energy brewing as the holiday lights begin make their assent and begin brightening up our streets, cheerful adornments and ornaments welcome us home and the early spattering’s of snowfall powder the landscape. Here at The Lily Pad Florist, we believe that every home needs that special floral touch to add that final figurative cherry on top of our decorative mastery. Some may forget about the beautiful flowers available to us at this time of year. Just because the cold has crept in, doesn’t mean there aren’t some hardy blooms still boasting their beauty for us. And what better way to show them off than creating stunning showstoppers for all your festive time guests to admire. Here are but a few examples that we can help create with you to ensure a warm and inviting Christmas atmosphere in your home.
To start us off, we have the classic Christmas Table Centrepieces:
A well-designed floral centrepiece can transform your dining experience. Consider arranging amaryllis with sprigs of holly and ivy for a bold yet elegant look. Add a few candles to create a soft glow, perfect for Christmas Eve dinners or festive family gatherings. The deep reds and lush greens of these flowers will instantly bring a sense of warmth to the table.
Moving on to something with a bit more majesty, The Mantelpiece Garlands:
For a cosy, rustic touch, create a garland using ivy and holly, mixed with pinecones and berries for a more natural vibe. This can be draped along your mantelpiece or staircase, adding a festive charm that feels homely and welcoming. You can even include fairy lights for an extra sparkle that enhances the holiday feel.
We cannot forget about the most welcoming of décor pieces, The Door Wreath and Swag:
Welcome guests into your home with a beautiful wreath made from a mix of winter foliage. Holly, ivy, and even mistletoe can be woven together for a traditional look, or you can add pops of colour with poinsettias or dried orange slices. The combination of textures and greenery will give your door a festive yet cosy appeal.
To add a touch of luxury as you cozy up, The Fireplace Decor:
Decorate your fireplace with a combination of poinsettias and greenery, such as eucalyptus or fir branches. The contrast of soft foliage with the bright, cheerful poinsettia blooms will add both texture and warmth to the room, creating a perfect spot to cosy up on a cold winter evening.
