Modern Christmas Florals for this Festive Season
Adding more colours to your decoration palette is possible by using modern Christmas florals. Now the question is: what colours exude festive charm aside from red? And what florals and arrangements can you use to spice up your decor this Yuletide season?
Here’s a guide on the holiday florals, vibrant colours, arrangements, and some tips and trends you can apply to improve your Christmas decor:
Holiday Florals & Colours
The classic Christmas flowers and decorations are undeniably charming and delightful to the eye. However, changing your holiday arrangements from time to time is ideal to keep the holiday vibe more exciting and special. This also gives a feeling of anticipation, making everyone look forward to seeing it every year. To make a modern arrangement, here are some of the most popular flowers that give texture and depth to your Christmas decorations:
Poinsettias (Red, Pink, Yellow)
When talking about Christmas flowers, the first thing that will come to your mind is poinsettias. This flowering plant is famous for its striking crimson red bracts and green leaves. Although its blooms are unusually small, the bracts of poinsettias resemble flowers, making it the most iconic and top choice for Christmas florals.
In addition to red, poinsettias come in various colours, such as pink and yellow. You can combine red and pink or red and yellow poinsettias to make your holiday decor even more striking and festive.
Roses (Red, White, Colour-changing)
Primarily used to express love and desire, roses are not just for romantic occasions. The “Queen of Flowers” is also an excellent choice for the festive season as it features the classic Christmas colours red and green. Even though roses are not traditionally linked with Christmas, they are very versatile, so you can easily use them for any occasion.
Additionally, red roses are not the only choice you have. If you’re into White Christmas, consider white roses for your floral arrangements. But if you’re going for a modern holiday decor trend, colour-changing roses with pink and orange tones will do the trick.
Orchids (White, Pink, Yellow)
Orchids are known for their unique beauty and sweet scent. It symbolises love, beauty, charm, and refinement, perfect for celebrations from weddings and birthdays to graduations and anniversaries. This versatile flower also works great as a Christmas table centre with lush greenery and other seasonal blooms.
Orchids also bloom in varying colours, such as white, pink, and yellow. These cheerful colours pair well with red ornaments, capturing both elegance and the holiday spirit.
Carnations (White, Red, Pink, Yellow)
A symbol of love and fascination, carnations are lovely blooms, famous for their ruffled petals. This multi-layered flower has delicate-looking petals and is cultivated in various colours, including red, pink, yellow, green, and white.
With these colour varieties, you can create a Christmassy and dreamy holiday decor. You can combine red and pink, red and white, or red and yellow carnations to make a lovely yet festive floral arrangement suited for the season.
Amarylli (Red, Pink, White, Orange)
Another popular Christmas floral, amaryllis, is a flamboyant bloom that comes in a wide range of colours, from crimson red and pink to white and orange. Amaryllis has sturdy, tall stems, so it’s a great choice for a Christmas floral arrangement as a table centrepiece.
Trends & Arrangements
Aside from these blooms, consider using begonias and camellias to improve your holiday decor. You may also incorporate other colours into your arrangement by adding blue, violet, cream, or orange-toned florals as long as they complement your chosen holiday theme.
If you’re a fan of modern decor, simply combine white and blue or white and yellow florals. But if you want to create a more festive modern arrangement, combining different colourful florals will give you a bolder, brighter look.
A Festive Celebration of Colours
Remember, the key to a harmonious arrangement is to ensure the colour and texture of your florals complement and blend when combined. To fuse tradition and modern trends, add white, yellow, or pink florals to red-theme Christmas decor. But if you want to take a break from red ornaments this season, just mix and match the colourful blooms in this guide for a whole new look. Christmas florals bring lush greenery, freshness, and festive elegance into your home.
