In the distance we can already hear the bells ringing and smell the pine needles; the magical time called Christmas is upon us again. Go wild with lights, floral foam and seasonal items to bring the Christmas spirit back into the shops. In this blog post, we present 10 must-haves that you want to offer your customers for a complete and on-trend Christmas. Instantly a good checklist to complete your Christmas order!
1. Pastel-coloured flowers: Continue the trend of soft colours at Christmas
Start your Christmas floral journey with pastel-coloured flowers. Soft pinks, peaches and lavender flowers add a touch of romance to Christmas arrangements. Pastels are totally contemporary and should therefore not be missed to complete this year's Christmas deco.
2. Eucalyptus: Refreshing Christmas green
Eucalyptus is a fine green choice for Christmas. The silvery-green leaves not only go well with pastel-coloured flowers, but also give your creations a fresh aroma. Something different from the eternal pine scent! ;)
3. Cotton: A farm-chic touch
Incorporating cotton into a Christmas floral arrangement evokes a cosy, farmhouse-inspired atmosphere that complements pastel shades beautifully. With the fluffy texture of cotton bolls, you bring beautiful contrast.
4. Dried poppies: The rustic extra
Dried poppies are a fun addition to your Christmas creation to add height differences, for example. Their striking appearance and earthy tones add a touch of rustic charm to creations.
5. Wooden trims: The classic filler
For a more classic-rustic look, opt for wooden side pieces. This will nicely fill up a Christmas creation and add a slightly tough touch to sweet pastel colours.
6. Gypsum: Delicate volume
Drywall's delicate, cloud-like appearance makes it a great product to add volume to your creations. Also, opt for the pastel-coloured varieties to reinforce the theme. Nothing wrong with a little extra colour!
7. Cutting foam: The essential foundation
As you know as a florist, floral foam is essential during the Christmas season. Floral foam provides a stable base for creations. Think green and opt for the -ironically, usually brown- organic variety for a more sustainable choice.
8. Amaryllis: talking about seasonal produce
It is impossible to imagine the Christmas season without it; the amaryllis! Available in many different colours, for creative use in Christmas creations. Nice are for example the mixed varieties, to add a playful hint.
9. A pop of colour: choose an accent
To accent the pastel colour, add a pop of colour. Here, we worked with a pink nerine, but you can also choose pretty phalaenopsis or anthurium to create this nuance.
10. Candles: Light in the darkness
What's Christmas without lights? Go for different shapes and colours, and don't forget the candlesticks!
Unleash your creativity this Christmas season with these 10 must-haves and don't forget to add them to your order ahead of time to transform your shop in time.
