Christmas with flowers: tips for creating special table arrangements for the date

One of the most popular traditions during the holiday season is, without a doubt, decorating the house with Christmas themes. The lights and items that refer to Christmas are the main attractions, but to complement the environment and create an elegant and welcoming composition , a good option is to include floral arrangements in the decoration. To add a special touch to your Christmas decorations, the ideal is to explore flowers with seasonal colors. “The classic colors of Christmas are red and green , so you can fearlessly opt for foliage and flowers in these colors, but the date is also very represented by typical elements and shades of gold, so a cool idea is to put together arrangements mixing plants with their own Christmas decorations, such as balls and ribbons”, suggests Creuza dos Santos , florist at Esalflores in Curitiba. “A good option is to also include white flowers alongside red ones , such as lilies and astromeliads mixed with roses, creating a very elegant contrast”, adds the professional.

For the supper table, the tip is to also incorporate pine cones and wheat branches among the flowers to enhance the arrangement. “You can put together an arrangement, and a silver or glass dish, with flowers, leaves and pine cones, for example”, suggests the florist. “ Small sprigs of flowers next to the napkin on the plate also go well together and create a very Christmassy look”, he adds. Creating combinations with other decor elements is also an alternative. “If the tablecloth is red, you can spread green leaves on the table, or opt for a long arrangement with only green leaves. Or the opposite, scatter red flowers on a green towel”, proposes the professional. The traditional Poinsettia , known as Espírito Santo or Christmas Flower, is an alternative that can't go wrong. In addition to attracting attention due to its beauty with wide leaves and a characteristic red, it is ideal for adding an elegant touch to the environment, but requires specific care. “Espirito Santo lasts around 2 to 3 months in a pot, but you need to keep it in a bright space and water it once a week. Remembering that the ideal is to observe the humidity of the soil , as environmental conditions vary greatly the need for watering, as the presence of air conditioning or a closed space without much air circulation may require more or less water”, advises the florist.
