It’s winter. It’s cold. Most plants are dead. It makes us sad – but what if it didn’t have to? Tis the season for holiday flower arrangements to spark that Christmas cheer!
Flowers aren’t just a warm-season fling. We operate year-round to offer you the best gift-giving opportunities, even during the Christmas season. Don’t allow your Christmas list to fall through the cracks – trust Forest of Flowers to bulk up your gift-giving game!
Do you know the main selling point of flowers? They’re versatile. That means, regardless of the occasion or purpose, they’re adaptable. Whether you need a floral arrangement for a table centrepiece or a Christmas-themed bouquet, we have what you need!
Perhaps one of the loveliest things about the Christmas season is that spruce is readily available. Not only do spruce cuttings smell heavenly, but they’re a great addition to seasonal bouquets and flower arrangements that make for perfect holiday decorations!
Spruce and other evergreen cuttings stand out as eye-catching additions to any holiday centrepiece. With a little creativity, you can transform them into something show-stopping! Pair these cuttings with a collection of pinecones, red bows, glitter, and holiday ornaments, and you have a piece that’s capable of competing with your Christmas tree!
Want to add a touch of rustic charm to your holiday décor? Our Yuletide Greetings arrangement is filled with fragrant evergreens and festive accents. Or combine seasonal greenery with a tropical touch in our Festive Christmas Planter.
Typically, roses are the flowers that take centre stage. But when the winter season comes around, no plant demands attention more than the poinsettia!
Did you know that poinsettias even have their very own holiday in the month of December? On December 12, there is a literal holiday called Poinsettia Day that celebrates this versatile and stunning plant.
Poinsettias are stunning flowers that are typically sold in shades of red and white, adorned with glittering flecks of gold to give them the whimsical feel of Christmas cheer.
Fun fact: Despite their association with the Christmas season, poinsettias are actually native to sunny Mexico, and the main producer of poinsettias today is California! What’s more, these festive plants require a combination of sunny days and long, dark nights to bloom to their fullest potential.
As for the glitter you often see on the delicate petals and leaves, this tradition is intended to add an extra element of eye-catching holiday cheer! It’s totally normal to dump a pile of gold or silver glitter over the entire poinsettia plant to make sure no one misses it when walking by the market.
Stop by your neighbourhood Forest of Flowers location to pick up your yearly poinsettias. Don’t wait long – our poinsettias go fast!
When you talk about roses, you probably imagine a beautiful bloom that’s a deep, stunning red. While roses come in many different colours, there is none more iconic than the holiday “rose red” tone to spark that sense of Christmas cheer.
Red and green is a classic Christmas combination, meaning that a bundle of red roses goes amazing with a collection of fancy greenery as well as green button mums. Add a few sprigs of spruce, eucalyptus, and some ornamental pinecones, and you’ll have a stunning arrangement that wows and smells amazing.
Oh, also – pinecones are in season, and they make an excellent accent to any holiday arrangement or bouquet that needs a little extra “OOMPH!”
Our Simply Beautiful arrangement blends the warmth of red roses with softer shades of white – a classic combination that makes for the perfect romantic holiday gift! For a more festive arrangement, our Winter Blooms of Green and White bring white roses together with green mums, evergreens, and holiday-themed accents.
Not every show-stopping element in an arrangement has to be a living plant. Our professional florists are also adept at hand-tying beautiful bows to add to your arrangement to truly give it that holiday look.
Tying and prepping a flannel or glittery bow to adorn an already-beautiful holiday arrangement adds a sense of care and class. It really gives the feeling that what you’re receiving is truly a gift, complete with a Dior bow or pompom bow to send the message home that: “Hey, I love you, and this gift is out of this world!”
What’s more, there are some additional elements you can add to holiday arrangements to truly make them stand out.
Candy Canes: Candy canes are easy to add to a tree and even a floral arrangement given their slender size. This not only adds a pop of holiday colour, but also provides a minty, sweet treat element to your arrangement that makes it that much more enjoyable.
Gold Accents: Stars, bells, pears, and partridges are all stunning elements to add to a Christmas-themed arrangement. They add an element of glitter and shine to an already beautiful gift that is sure to stand out.
Snowflakes: Tis the season where it… literally snows. So why not include a few seasonal elements in your arrangement? The wonderful thing about snowflakes is that they are unique and intricate, and they’re also easy to recreate! With a bit of reflective paper or painted cardboard, you can add some twinkling snowflakes to any floral design to embrace the chilly season of winter wonder.
Berries: Hypericum berries – they look like cranberries, and even more, they make an excellent holiday addition to a Christmas flower arrangement. Coming in shades of red, pink, white, and green, hypericum berries add an element of harvest and holiday decor to bouquets and arrangements alike. They mirror the nostalgic image of holiday desserts and stuffing delights, all while complimenting the hue and tone of the flowers they’re helping to adorn.
Vases: Holiday vases are truly a game changer. Whether you want something more subtle like a red, squared vase with gold trim, or a completely out-of-this-world holiday design like a gingerbread house. You can find something to hold your flowers that matches your aesthetic and the season. Oftentimes we focus too much just on the blooms and not the vessel they arrive in. But the vase is so customizable that it can take even a simple arrangement and make it a show-stopping holiday centrepiece that will have your guests talking!
We get it. Gift-giving is hard. You want to offer something that makes the person you care about feel emotions and remind them that you care. That’s why choosing flower arrangements as a gift is so perfect for the holiday season.
The wonderful thing about holiday flower arrangements is… you don’t even need to walk into a store! You can order your flower arrangement from home, from your desktop, tablet, or phone, including extra touches like teddies, chocolates, and balloons.
Forest of Flowers has an array of options you can choose from in terms of blooms and additions to truly make your gift that much more special. We’ll make your gift truly tailored to your loved one, so they never have to forget how much you thought of them during the holiday season.
