The holidays, with all their cocoa and cookies and sparkly lights, are upon us once again. And with them comes a chance for people to reconnect over time-cherished traditions and experience the joy of decking the halls with their favorite heirlooms and seasonal florals. “Christmas is the peak of home entertaining season," says Valerie Ghitelman, VP of product development, design & sourcing, consumer florals & gifts, for 1-800-Flowers.com. “Our homes are our sanctuary, and people are enhancing their sanctuary with beautiful flowers and plants."
Ghitelman says she has seen a change in the types of flowers and wreaths that are trending for Christmas. “People are looking for shorter, more compact arrangements and distinct centerpieces that are meant to create a festive environment." Flowers and greenery that have a longer vase life, such as carnations, chrysanthemums, cremones, lilies, and roses, are in vogue, as are monochromatic color schemes.
Moreover, a general sense of nostalgia is also influencing foliage choices. “We are seeing a return to classic design and traditional, historical colors," says Ghitelman, who believes this shift is based on people's emotional desire to connect to the past.
"The demands of family and work can be challenging, and flowers promote physical and emotional well-being, brighten our homes, and create a sense of beauty in our environment," Ghitelman says.
With that in mind, here are 10 trending Christmas flowers, plants, and wreaths for the 2024 holiday season.
