Festive Flowers

Last weekend we trimmed the tree & hung the holiday decor, and living in our cozy winter wonderland for a few days has sent me into full-on Christmas mode. I’ve been playing carols, burning my pine-scented candle (to make it smell even more delicious), and making loads of hot cocoa. I did a pretty table centerpiece with crystal garlands & white votives, but kept feeling like it needed one more touch…a brilliant pop of red flowers to tie in the table with the other elements in the house. Perfect timing to stumble upon these gorgeous creations from Beautiful Blooms, via Style Me Pretty, and I even gained some last-minute floral inspiration for the holiday parties I’m planning! Classic & elegant, with a few unexpected touches…

I love how simple this is… anyone could pull it off! And the red lacquered vase makes such a bold statement.

This arrangement is really the one I fell in love with… natural elements like moss & baby pinecones are unexpected touches next to traditional amaryllis. Wintery perfection!

I adore red roses at Christmas, and a low, tight bunch like this is perfect for a dinner party centerpiece. I’d try scattering a few down a long table, and filling in with little white votives for a romantic glow.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! XO
