Three Ways to Add Flowers to Your Christmas Decorations

Lifestyle
Written By Laura Hooper & Alyssa Law

The holiday season is officially here and one of our favorite ways to elevate our decorations is with plants and florals! Whether you’ll be setting a dinner table or simply want to brighten up a room with beautiful greens and blooms, we have a variety of ideas to help you celebrate the season:1. Take an online floral arranging course to create your own centerpieces or small arrangements. You’ll learn how to use flowers from the local supermarket plus some foraged greens to build your own floral creations. This is a fun online class to enjoy with friends and family or solo. Either way, you’ll end up with something lovely for your home.2. Not into DIY? Pre-orders for Christmas centerpieces are now open! Order now for the best price-point. Pickups are available in Alexandria any day the week of Christmas for you to enjoy all Christmas week long.  3. Looking for a great gift that can be shipped nationwide? Take a peek at our indoor winter Amaryllis and Paperwhites blooming kits. They are already taking off and should be blooming in time for Christmas... though they will last into the new year as well. We can ship these pre-potted in the bulb stage and all you/your recipient will have to do is water lightly, place by a bright window, and watch them grow. They make for a unique gift and will brighten up any dreary winter day.  Along with these floral options, our small business online shop is full of holiday goods and décor such as personalized ornaments, festive votive houses, and so much more... all available for shipping or free local pickup.
