Color Ideas for Holiday Floral Arrangements

By Kit Wertz

Classic Red Holiday Flowers

Red is always appro­pri­ate for a cel­e­bra­tion! Tie in the cool­er sea­son with cool white hyper­icum berries and sil­ver Bru­nia berries. Fin­ished with a touch of sil­very Dusty Miller and Port Orford Cedar.

Cool & Icy Pink Holiday Decoration

Cool white hydrangea echoes thoughts of fluffy white snow. Add a hint of spark­ly col­or with pale pink ros­es and berries. Bring in the sea­son­al scents with fra­grant cedar branches.

Royal Floral Decorations for the Holidays

Go roy­al with pur­ple flow­ers added to the clas­sic red flow­ers for the hol­i­day sea­son. It’s fun to go with rich jew­el tones this time of year. Add lots of gold to high­light the dark col­ors of evening cel­e­bra­tions. And make sure there is a lot of added light for the festivities!
