Nothing signals the arrival of Christmas quite like the fragrance of fresh winter flowers filling your space. At Blooming Amazing Flower Company, each festive bouquet is designed with a careful hand and a genuine love for the season. 

 

Planning a festive centrepiece for a grand table or searching for a way to make your mantel glow? Our florists know the tricks for creating displays that stay vibrant right through the season, even after the final candle flickers out.



What Makes Christmas Floral Arrangements Special?

Christmas flower arrangements offer a signature blend of tradition, winter’s freshest flowers and the steady skill of Irish artisans. Every design is meant to echo the warmth of the season: bold colours, inviting scents and the feeling as friends and family gather closer. 

 

Years of experience and a dash of creativity mean each arrangement made by Blooming Amazing Flower Company feels distinct, with details that make it unique.

Seasonal Blooms and Foliage

A brief guide to the flowers and greenery that define festive arrangements.

  • Amaryllis - tall, vibrant trumpets that draw the eye

  • Red Ilex berries - bold green stems with scarlet berry

  • Local Eucalyptus - silvery green foliage with a fresh, brisk scent

  • Irish-grown pine - classic evergreen aroma

These ingredients do more than decorate. They set the mood for celebrations and infuse rooms with the essence of the season.

 

Colour Palettes for Festive Impact

Colour shapes the character of a Yuletide bouquet. Deep reds feel warm and welcoming. White and cream evoke frosty gardens and crisp December mornings. Pine and holly provide lush green backdrops, anchoring the brighter notes. 

 

Extra, metallic touches like gold or copper capture candlelight and scatter it across the room. Whether you love classic styles or prefer a contemporary look, the right palette draws everything together and makes a lasting impression.

 

Signature Styles from Blooming Amazing Flower Company

Our reputation blends tradition with fresh thinking. We craft hand-tied bouquets to your brief, using Irish-grown foliage and the finest winter blooms. Every order leaves our studio with a handwritten gift card and can be delivered to Dublin addresses the same day.

 

Centrepieces often feature candles and berries, catching attention at any table. Wreaths and garlands (each made with care) frame doors, bannisters and mantels, setting the scene for every guest who enters. It is a touch of Dublin artistry delivered to your home.

Steps for Creating Stunning Christmas Floral Displays

Making your own Christmas arrangements brings its own rewards. Here is how we approach it, from the first stem to the finishing flourish.

 

Steps to Prepare and Arrange Flowers

 

A concise process for assembling long-lasting arrangements.

  1. Choose a suitable container - glass vases for elegance, bowls or baskets for a relaxed look

  2. Condition flowers - cut stems at an angle, remove leaves below the waterline

  3. Hydrate blooms - place in clean, cool water with flower food before arranging

  4. Build a base - use pine or eucalyptus for the structure

  5. Add focal flowers - position amaryllis or roses with space for accents

  6. Finish with details - berries, ornaments or ribbon for personal flair

Finishing Touches and Embellishments

Personal touches turn a good bouquet into something unforgettable. Ribbons, candles, and glass ornaments add sparkle and warmth. Scented extras like dried orange peel or cinnamon sticks invite closer inspection. These details move your arrangement beyond the ordinary to reflect your own sense of style.

Ideas for Christmas Flower Arrangements at Home

Flowers can brighten every part of a home. Here are a few ways to let Christmas blooms shine, drawn from years of experience with Irish households.

 

Festive Table Centrepieces

 

A well-chosen table arrangement does more than decorate: it sets the tone for the meal. Go low and wide so nothing blocks conversation. 

 

Combine strong winter flowers like amaryllis, roses, or ranunculus with trailing greenery and highlights of berries. Tuck candles between the blooms for a gentle glow. For a modern twist, introduce sprayed foliage and frosted pinecones in silver or gold.

Popular Christmas Arrangements for Every Space

Below is a summary of arrangement styles for different areas in the home.

  • Door wreaths - Fresh pine holly, and eucalyptus with winter blooms and accented with dried citrus or a velvet bow

  • Garlands - Drape over mantels or stairs for a festive welcome

  • Mantel displays - Place vases of winter flowers among green ivy strands, candles and ornaments

  • Sideboard accents - Layer scented pine, red berries and white blooms with tiny fairy lights

These arrangements tie your décor together and add a gentle glow to winter evenings.

Blooming Amazing’s Expert Advice for Christmas Flower Care

Keeping arrangements fresh during the Christmas holidays does not need to be complicated. Our florists rely on a few simple habits that make all the difference.

  • Watering and Placement Guidance

Check water levels every day. Heat and draughts can dry flowers quickly, so keep arrangements away from radiators and lit fireplaces. Move larger centrepieces to cooler spots overnight to help them last longer.

  • Prolonging Freshness with Flower Food

Add flower food to clean water, changing it every couple of days. Snip stems at a slight angle each time you refresh the water. This routine keeps blooms healthy and helps prevent bacteria build-up.

  • Seasonal Flower Selection for Longevity

Choose flowers and foliage that handle busy holiday homes and chilly nights. Amaryllis, ilex, holly, ivy and eucalyptus stand up well. Roses and ranunculus also last, provided they are well conditioned from the start.

Personalising Christmas Arrangements with Artisan Touches

The most memorable displays often feature a personal detail or two. We encourage clients to add something meaningful, turning a seasonal bouquet into a family story.

 

Let’s take a look at some simple ideas for adding a personal touch.

  • Add a family ornament or vintage bauble for sentimental value

  • Tie on a ribbon with personal history or significance

  • Request a custom arrangement or handwritten card for a unique gift
