Top Tips For Creating Winter Flower Arrangements

In winter,  fresh flowers are more important than ever, as they’ll boost your mood and brighten your environment during the long cold months. With just knowing a couple of things, you can take a few flowers, a bit of foliage, add some accents and you’ll have heart-warming arrangements that will not only be great for everyday life, but will add a sense of festivity to seasonal events. The main things to keep in mind are - season, colour, texture, fragrance.

Choose Seasonal Flowers:

There are specific flowers that bloom in winter and are readily available. Combine these with flowers you find year round like roses, carnations, alstroemeria, and lilies. 

Winter Flowers:

• Anemone

• Hellebore

• Ranunculus

• Paperwhites

• Amaryllis

• Star of Bethlehem 

• Waxflower

Consider Colour:

There are two ways to go with winter colours. You can create a warm look or a cool look. A warm look will create cozy, cherry vibes, while a cool look will create the feeling of a perfect snowy, winter’s day. 

Warm Colours:

• Golds, reds, burgundys, purples, dark greens

Cool Colours:

• Silvers, whites, blues, pastel pink, soft greens

Select Foliage: 

There’s nothing like the fragrance of winter greens to put you in the festive spirit. There are plenty of choices so choose a mix of textures to use throughout your house. Winter foliage can be stored outside until ready to use. Once it’s inside, make sure to occasionally spritz it with water to keep it from drying out too quickly.

Winter Foliage:

• Carolina sapphire, cedar, fir, pine, hemlock, cypress, eucalyptus
