Christmas Is Just Around the Corner: Bring the Magic of the Season Into Your Home
The air smells of conifer sprigs and mulled wine, lights twinkle everywhere… Christmas is coming! And what would the holiday be without that true atmosphere only flowers and natural décor can conjure up?
We at Květiny Expres love this season full of sparkle and fragrance. That's why our florists – Monika, Bára, Jana, and Andrea – have put together this guide for you. We'll tell you which Christmas flowers and bouquets are trending this year, how to care for them, and how to create the most beautiful Christmas décor.
A Classic That Never Disappoints: Traditional Christmas Plants
Some flowers simply belong to Christmas. They're symbols we know from childhood, and they instantly create just the right festive mood.
1. Poinsettia (Christmas Star)
The absolute queen of Christmas. Its deep red (or pink or white) bracts are unmistakable.
Tip from florist Monika: "Watch out for drafts and overwatering! The poinsettia is sensitive. Place it in a bright spot without direct sun, and water it only once the soil is slightly dry. And above all – don't buy one outside in the frost!"
2. Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera)
This undemanding little plant rewards you with a flood of blooms exactly during winter. It's a wonderful, long-lasting alternative to cut flowers.
3. Cyclamen
The elegant blooms of cyclamen, in shades from white and pink to purple, bring delicate beauty and freshness into an interior.
Tip from florist Jana: "Cyclamen loves cooler surroundings and watering 'from below' – meaning into a saucer. It will reward you with long-lasting blooms."
Winter Elegance: Flowers That Light Up the Festive Table
Besides traditional houseplants, Christmas is also a time for majestic cut flowers and special arrangements.
4. Amaryllis
Its huge, velvety blooms are the embodiment of luxury. We offer it in two forms:
Cut amaryllis: Perfect for tall vases, where its beauty really stands out. It lasts an incredibly long time.
Wax amaryllis (waxed bulb): A modern hit! A bulb coated in wax, from which a gorgeous flower grows without any watering needed. A wonderful, original gift.
Tip from florist Andrea: "A wax amaryllis is a self-sufficient little miracle. Just place it in a bright spot and watch it grow. Once it's done blooming, you can clean the bulb and try growing it the classic way afterward."
5. Orchids (Phalaenopsis)
The timeless elegance of orchids suits every occasion, Christmas included. A white orchid feels especially festive, and it's a gift that will bring joy for many weeks.
Texture and Details: How to Give a Christmas Arrangement Some Flair
The right Christmas décor isn't just about flowers, but also about interesting textures and details.
6. Cotton (Gossypium)
Soft, white tufts of cotton on a sprig give an arrangement incredible softness and a wintry touch. It's a modern, very popular element.
7. Holly (Ilex)
A classic of deep red berries on dark green (or bare) branches. It instantly gives an arrangement that true Christmas "look."
8. Mimosa (Acacia)
Although its main season comes a bit later, its bright yellow balls and delicate texture can work as an unexpected, cheerful accent in a winter arrangement, reminiscent of tiny lights.
Our Christmas Bouquets: A Combination of Elegance and Festive Mood
We love combining different elements to create unique Christmas bouquets. One of our most popular and most sought-after combinations is a pairing of majestic cut amaryllis, delicate cotton, and festive holly. This bouquet is elegant, modern, and captures the atmosphere of Christmas perfectly.
We haven't forgotten Advent wreaths either, which we tie for you from fresh conifer sprigs and decorate according to both the latest trends and traditional customs.
Final Advice From Our Florists
Plan ahead: Especially for Advent wreaths and specific arrangements, it's better to order in advance.
Don't be afraid to combine: A mix of live flowers, conifer sprigs, dried elements (such as cotton), and Christmas ornaments looks gorgeous.
Think about safety: For Advent wreaths, always use non-flammable coasters under candles, and never let them burn unattended.
We hope our guide has helped you get into that true Christmas spirit. If you're unsure what to choose, we're here for you!
Wishing you a magical holiday season, Monika, Bára, Jana, Andrea, and the whole KvětinyExpres.cz team
