Christmas Is Just Around the Corner: Bring the Magic of the Season Into Your Home
The air smells of fir and mulled wine, lights twinkle everywhere… Christmas is coming! And what would the holidays be without that special atmosphere that only flowers and natural decorations can create?
At Květiny Expres we love this season full of sparkle and scent. That is why, together with our florists – Monika, Bára, Jana and Andrea – we have prepared tips on the most popular combinations and stylish Christmas bouquets.

A Classic That Never Disappoints
Poinsettia, Christmas cactus and cyclamen are plants that simply belong to Christmas. We described their cultivation and care in detail in Popular Christmas Flowers, and the individual plants in the articles How to Care for a Poinsettia, Growing a Christmas Cactus and Cyclamen: The Magic of Christmas.
Winter Elegance: Cut and Waxed Amaryllis
Besides traditional potted plants, Christmas is also the time of majestic cut flowers. We offer amaryllis in two forms:
- Cut amaryllis: perfect for tall vases where its beauty stands out. It has a firm 60 cm stem and lasts without problems for 14 days in a vase.
- Wax Amaryllis (in wax): a bulb wrapped in decorative wax that contains nutrients and moisture, so it needs no watering and no pot. It reaches 50–60 cm and blooms with red flowers. A great and original gift, and we write about its trend in the article Christmas Trends 2026.
Tip from Florist Jana (cut amaryllis)
"Amaryllis is pure nobility. It has a hollow but sturdy stem that carries 3 to 5 enormous flowers. People often worry the stem will break – a little trick is to insert a thin skewer into the stem, which perfectly reinforces it. It's a perfect centerpiece for any festive table."
Texture and Details: How to Give a Christmas Arrangement Some Flair
Proper Christmas decoration is not only about flowers but also about interesting textures and details.
Holly (Ilex)
A classic of deep red berries on dark green (or bare) twigs. It instantly gives an arrangement the right Christmas “look”. You will find more in the article Holly (Ilex): A Christmas Classic Loved by Monika.
Our Christmas Bouquets: A Combination of Elegance and Festive Mood
We love combining different elements and creating unique Christmas bouquets. Last year our best-selling Christmas bouquet was Silent Night: an unconventional, muted palette of purple eustoma, chrysanthemum, golden ruscus, limonium and natural blueberry twigs. It was followed by the Christmas Trio bouquet (amaryllis, cotton, holly, eucalyptus and silver accents) and the Christmas Amaryllis in Holly bouquet (a white amaryllis, red holly, eucalyptus and white accents).
Tip from Florist Bára (the Silent Night bouquet)
"Silent Night is for those looking for something different than the classic red. The purple and gold combination is incredibly sophisticated. Eustoma brings tenderness, and the chrysanthemum guarantees great vase life. It's a very modern take on Christmas."
We also do not forget Advent wreaths, which we tie from fresh, non-shedding fir greenery (Nobilis and Nordmann) and decorate with natural materials. According to Andrea: “Don't forget to lightly mist the wreath occasionally so the needles stay fresh throughout Advent.” You will find a guide to tying one yourself in the article How to Make an Advent Wreath.
Final Advice From Our Florists
- Plan ahead: the first Sunday of Advent this year is 29 November. For the wreath to arrive in time, order in Prague by Friday 27 November and for other cities by Thursday 26 November.
- Don't be afraid to combine: a mix of fresh flowers, evergreen branches, dried elements (such as cotton) and Christmas ornaments looks wonderful.
- Think about safety: with Advent wreaths always use non-flammable candle holders and never leave candles burning unattended.
We hope our guide has helped you get in the right Christmas mood. If you are not sure what to choose, we are here for you!
