Now that Halloween is over, we’re allowed to mention the C-word... Christmas. The holidays are coming up fast, and there’s no better way to bring warmth and cheer into your home than with gorgeous Christmas flowers. Whether you love the traditional red and green palette or prefer something a little more wintery, flowers instantly transform your space into a festive paradise. At Belles Fleurs, your local Dublin florist in Blanchardstown, we’d be delighted to fill your home with floral festive spirit.
Choose a Festive Theme
Before selecting your arrangements, think about the overall look you’d like for your home this Christmas. Are you drawn to classic reds and golds, or do you prefer a modern silver-and-white winter wonderland? Setting a theme helps guide your choice of festive flowers and décor. For a timeless look, pair red roses with holly and pinecones. If you’re going for something more contemporary, white lilies or orchids with frosted greenery can create a chic atmosphere.
Start with the Entrance
Your doorway sets the tone for the entire home. A welcoming Christmas wreath or garland bursting with seasonal blooms is the perfect way to greet your guests. At Belles Fleurs, we create bespoke floral arrangements featuring berries, pine, eucalyptus, and ribbons to match your style. Add a few lanterns or candles nearby for that extra cosy touch. A festive floral display in your hallway also creates a wonderful first impression for guests.
Dress Up Your Dining Table
The dining table is the heart of Christmas celebrations, and the right floral centrepiece can make it unforgettable. Consider a long, low arrangement such as a Christmas hatbox or a table spray that won’t block conversation but adds plenty of charm. Mix fragrant evergreens like cedar and fir with vibrant flowers such as amaryllis, poinsettia, and carnations. For a little sparkle, add fairy lights or metallic accents. Remember to order your festive flowers early to ensure freshness and availability during the busy holiday season.
Add Floral Touches Throughout Your Home
Don’t limit your Christmas flowers to one room — spread the joy throughout your home. Place small arrangements in bathrooms, bedrooms, or on mantelpieces for a consistent festive feel. A vase of white roses and greenery in the kitchen or a touch of mistletoe above a doorway can make all the difference. Even the smallest arrangements bring colour, fragrance, and life to your Christmas décor.
Keep Your Blooms Fresh
To enjoy your flowers for as long as possible, care for them properly. Keep arrangements away from direct heat sources like fires and radiators, and top up water regularly. Trim stems at an angle every few days and remove any wilted petals to maintain freshness. At Belles Fleurs, our expert florists are always happy to share advice and flower care tips to help your Christmas blooms last beautifully through the holidays and beyond.
