Decorate Your Home with Winter Flower Arrangements

As the winter chill sets in, it's only natural to want to cozy up your home with comforting decor. While the variety of blooms available during the colder months is more limited than in spring and summer, there are still plenty of gorgeous flowers you can use to brighten up your interior spaces. Here are some of our top tips for creating beautiful winter floral arrangements.

Choose the Right Flowers

When selecting flowers for winter decorating, stick to varieties known to hold up well in cooler, drier indoor conditions. Good choices for flowers that bloom in winter include:

Orchids - With their lush tropical appearance, orchids are a fantastic option. Many varieties bloom reliably throughout the winter.

Lilies - Stargazer, Asiatic, and Oriental lilies have a bold look and strong stems that last at least two weeks.

Amaryllis - Not technically a cut flower but these bulbs bloom spectacularly indoors. A single long-lasting bloom stalk rises gracefully.

Snapdragons - Their unusual flower shape and variety of colors make snapdragons a fun, lively pick for flowers to plant in winter.

Carnations - With a spicy fragrance carnations come in an array of shades and will stay looking fresh for over a week.

Create Complementary Color Combos

Groupings of complimentary or analogous colors tend to look most visually pleasing and work well together naturally. Here are some classic winter-appropriate color pairings to consider when getting them from your Newark flower shop:

. Cool blues and whites

. Pops of bold red with greenery

. Mixtures of dark pinks, purples, and burgundies

. Gentle yellows blended with neutral tones

Incorporate Filler Flowers and Foliage

To make arrangements full and long-lasting, supplement your focal winter season flowers with short-lasting fillers and greens. Baby's breath, lisianthus, orchids, and eucalyptus have an airy look. Hardy herbs like rosemary, lavender, and thyme add fragrance and texture.

Choose the Right Container

The vessel should suit the mood, scale, and colors of the flowers. Glass cylinders or narrow vases show off the arrangements nicely. Cluster smaller bouquets in groups on tray tables for a relaxed feel. Don't be afraid to get inventive - unusual containers like pitchers, baskets, or even vintage buckets can all work beautifully.

Refresh Regularly

To maximize the lifespan of your winter blooms, take the time to gently remove any fading flowers or leaves weekly. Trim stems as needed and replenish water daily. Using floral preservative solutions in the water helps keep arrangements looking fresher longer. A few hours in the refrigerator can also revive droopy blooms.

With the right planning and floral choices, you can easily DIY charming displays that will brighten any space all season. Get creative and have fun experimenting - a winter flower arrangement is a wonderful way to lift your spirits during the colder months.
