Blooming Holiday: Festive Floral Arrangements for a Magical December

A combination of three floral arrangements: romantic red and pink roses, a cascading display, and a gothic centerpiece with pink and dark purple carnations, cream roses, and candles.

There’s a certain comfort that the winter holiday brings. The feeling of nostalgia, reflection, and sense of hope for the new year is one we look forward to every year. Considering these recurring themes, we put together three holiday arrangements we felt encompassed the upcoming holidays. We worked around three separate palettes to create three separate looks for our holiday photoshoot.  Working with the fabulous Michelle Riveron to help us bring our vision to life only felt right given our history of making impeccable arrangements together.

Gothic Christmas Palette

  For this palette we wanted to embody a darker yet elegant look. Our novelty carnations really brought the gothic element we were looking for as well as depth with the lighter color around the petals’ edges. Matching that color with some light pink roses balanced the arrangement. Incorporating white spray roses and green ruscus let us play into the elegant look we were going for. Adding purple spiders added to the dimension and texture as well.  What we love about this palette is the versatility. You can use this palette for both holiday and seasonal bouquets and arrangements!

Nostalgic Christmas Palette

  This palette encompasses everything we feel during the holidays! Its lush dark vibe includes traditional florals like roses as well as the deep green we often see throughout the holiday. Our Hearts Ah!maze roses cannot be missed in this arrangement! They work as a key focal point of the arrangement. The peach cremons add height and dimension.This combination of deep reds and greens brings us back to joyful memories. The colors of the lush green tree, and dark red bows used to bring cheer to the occasion. Dipping our feet into the world of nostalgia is something we cannot help but do.

  The memories held with these holidays are ones that last forever and bring excitement when they come around again.  We decided to have fun and hang ornaments on the stems of some of the florals which brought us back to decorating our own Christmas tree.
