Whether you’re entertaining guests or enjoying a lovely evening in the comfort of your home, the best way to ring in the New Year and add to your festivities is with a floral arrangement. If you’re short on time (and why should it be any different from the other 364 days of the year?), here are five great tips to get florally festive…..And fast!

1. Tie shiny, sparkly ribbon around the stems to dress up an arrangement or bouquet. This will not only serve to beautify and add to the festive environment, but it will also help flowers sit straight in the vase. If you’re using a longer ribbon it’s a nice touch to let the ends drape loosely over the sides of the vase the flowers are sitting in.

2. Use fresh or dried flower petals in an attractive bowl. Crystal works with all colors of flowers or you can even try using a bowl that provides a lovely contrast such as pale blue and red rose petals, for example. The petals give a subtle scent and have the appearance of confetti.

3. Here’s a fun idea if you’re hosting a gathering. Ask your guests to write down their own personal New Year’s resolutions. The funniest or most outrageous entry will win the grand prize. A plant, like a Winter Jasmine, will be easy for the winner to take home.

4. Use stemware, such as champagne flute glasses as vases for single, slender flowers; Or for longer stems or branches, an empty champagne bottle will certainly do the trick.

5. And don’t forget, no matter what food you’re serving your guests, it will look infinitely more elegant with flowers alongside. Use a bouquet of hydrangea, daisies or tulips on the dining room table to add elegance and color. You can also use small bud flowers to decorate a dessert or hors d’oeuvres plate.

Find the colors and fragrances that add to the holidays and brighten your home as flowers set the trend for every season. But staying on the cutting edge doesn’t have to lock you into a specific look and sometimes it can even expand your choices and options.

Choosing arrangements that blend elements from more than one season is a great way to bring out the most from your favorite bouquet. For instance, a centerpiece with pine cones, evergreen and cinnamon sticks celebrates autumn and hints at a holiday look, even though it’s still November.

Broadening your range of choices allows you to incorporate those textures that are the beginning of the Christmas season. These colorful elements can be combined in so many ways that limit your choices only limits their potential to enrich the environment they display.

Color is a very important aspect of this process. Orange hues keep the focus on fall, whereas red and white are a floral fast-forward.

Red Tulip Christmas Flower Arrangements are relatively new trend among florists and consumers looking to add rich red hues to their holiday centerpieces. Red tulips, a flower typically associated with spring, can make stunning Christmas arrangements. Eager consumers who decorate their homes for Christmas before Thanksgiving have utilized this flower now for a few years as they are abundant year round.

Another trend that combines fashion and flexibility is metallic vases. We’ve been seeing metallics in home décor, fashion, shoes. It only makes sense to see it in floral displays. While silver, gold and bronze have always been staples, the latest metallics for spring ’09 are pink, lavender, blue and green. And because to the reflective nature of metals, they reflect their surrounding colors and will look slightly different in every spot they occupy.
