Christmas Flowers and Their Meanings

If you’re hosting this year’s Christmas Eve or holiday party, you might be frantic with party planning. You’ve got a lot to do: coordinate the meal, clean the house, decorate, buy and wrap your gifts… the list goes on. If you need a little inspiration while you’re shopping for the perfect Christmas arrangements for your table, here’s a list of gorgeous Christmas centerpieces for you to choose from so you can spend less time setting a gorgeous table display and more time coordinating the other components of your holiday.


 

Boughs of Holly Centerpiece

You’ve already decked the halls, but for some quintessential Christmas charm on your dining room table, you might consider Teleflora’s Holly Jolly Centerpiece. This stunning arrangement can’t help but give you joy and Christmas spirit. Made up of white roses, red miniature carnations, white spray chrysanthemums, flat cedar, white pine and red candles, this display is accented with festive boughs of holly. In addition to the incredible plants in this centerpiece, we’ve presented it in our Halls of Holly dish, a hand-painted stoneware serving dish that you can reuse for years to come. Wash it out and use it as a serving dish, or reuse it as a vase for next year’s Christmas feast centerpiece.

Silver and Gold

If you have vibrant red and green plates, and you don’t want to clash or incorporate too much color, Teleflora's Silver And Gold Centerpiece provides your dinner table with festive neutrals that will compliment any existing color scheme. This incredible arrangement is made up of white roses, Asiatic lilies, chrysanthemums and miniature carnations. For some added texture and greenery, we’ve added some flat cedar, lemon leaf and white pine. If that isn’t enough, we’ve called the silver and gold tones to the forefront by accenting the arrangement with silver pinecones, silver ribbon and gold candles. This display will be so gorgeous, you won’t need any other decorations – just add the essential dishware, napkins and silverware to your table.

White Christmas Arrangement

Some people adore the red and green colors of Christmas, while others prefer the rich silvers and golds. Maybe you’d rather incorporate classic crisp white hues to compliment the snow that may grace the ground on Christmas Day. Teleflora’s Winter Wilds Centerpiece is unique and chic, yet completely classic, contrasting winter-white blooms with rich greenery. Crème roses, white spray roses, white Asiatic lilies and white tulips make up the rich creams and whites you’ve been dreaming of. Seeded eucalyptus, lemon leaf, flat cedar, white pine, Douglas fir and a large echeveria succulent contrast the delicate flowers with some abrasive, hardy textures. Lovers of a classic Christmas will adore this display, which will make for a stunning centerpiece for Christmases yet to come.

Light It Up With Candles

Maybe you plan on making a centerpiece for your holiday party or would like to create a mantel decoration that will dazzle everyone in your home. Something that can add a little something special to any festive arrangement is a lovely candle. It could be a 10-inch taper candle that towers above the blooms that make up this display, or it might be a short and stubby soy candle in a glass holder. You might want to light the candle on a special occasion, or you may prefer to leave the wick intact. No matter what color and type of candle you choose and your plans for it, you can get creative with your homemade floral arrangements by adding a piece that will light up your home, literally and figuratively.

 

Make Use of the Great Outdoors

When you’re making Christmas floral arrangements for yourself and your loved ones, you’ll want to ensure each bouquet looks as professional as possible. Few elements can bring your arrangement to the next level quite like contrasting the blooms against decorative greenery. You can get some holly and pine from your local florist or tree nursery, or you can get your hands dirty, salvaging some materials right from your backyard.

Our Christmas Wishes Centerpiece combines delicate red and white flowers with fir and pine, items that can easily be trimmed from a lush Christmas tree or from a branch in your backyard. Additionally, we’ve accented this piece with red berries and pinecones to add some texture and color. If you’d like to mimic this style in your own festive bouquet, look around your yard for pinecones that are in good shape and add them to the top of a lush centerpiece arrangement.

A word of caution: When you decorate with pinecones, leaves, branches and other elements from the outdoors, make sure to check that they are free of bugs. One tip we’ve seen around the internet is to bake the pinecones at a low temperature to rid them of any creepy-crawlies. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees and put your pinecones in for about 40 minutes. They can go right on the metal racks; no need for a baking tray!

 

Not Your Mother’s Fruit Bowl

In addition to using greenery to DIY a flower arrangement, stretch your creativity to incorporate some edible goodies into your bouquet. One fruit that’s in season during the winter – and seems to be a top choice for holiday decorating – is oranges. Maybe you’re planning on making orange-clove pomander balls to add a nice scent to your living space, or perhaps you’d rather keep your oranges intact for eating. No matter, you can add some of these citrus fruits to your flower arrangements for some color, texture and personality. Some other fruits that do well in the winter – and look nice against flowers and greenery – include apples, pears, lemons, clementines, cranberries and figs.

Looking for some inspiration on how you can really hit the mark when decorating with fruit? Check out our Merry Magnificence arrangement, which features a mixture of shiny apples and festive flat cedar and noble fir. The bold shade of the apples contrasts nicely against the dark branches and leaves, using the prominent holiday color combo of red and green for added festive charm. Plus, the arrangement has a lovely candle in the center, thus leveraging the first tip we listed above.
