What Flowers Make a Perfect Christmas Centerpiece?

The holidays are just around the corner, and what better way to bring festive cheer into your home than with a beautiful Christmas centerpiece? At Hilly Fields Florist, we specialize in creating stunning floral arrangements for every occasion, and Christmas is one of our favorites! Choosing the right flowers can make all the difference. This guide will help you navigate the wonderful world of Christmas blooms and find the perfect centerpiece for your table.

Traditional Christmas Centerpiece Flowers

When you think of Christmas flowers, certain varieties immediately come to mind. These classics offer a timeless elegance and a sense of warmth:

• Poinsettias: The undisputed queen of Christmas flowers! Available in red, white, and even marbled varieties, poinsettias add a vibrant pop of color. We source high-quality poinsettias that last throughout the holiday season.


• Amaryllis: These showy blooms are incredibly impactful. A single amaryllis stem can be the focal point of a stunning arrangement, and they symbolize pride and radiant beauty.


• Red Roses: Classic and always appreciated, red roses represent love and joy, perfect for a Christmas celebration. We offer a variety of rose types for different centerpiece styles.


• Lilies: White lilies symbolize purity and peace, adding a touch of serenity to your holiday table. Consider Casablanca lilies for a dramatic effect.


• Evergreens (Pine, Fir, Spruce): No Christmas centerpiece is complete without lush evergreens! They provide a beautiful base and a wonderful scent. We use fresh-cut greens sourced locally whenever possible.


• Holly: With its bright red berries and glossy green leaves, holly is a traditional symbol of Christmas and adds a touch of festive cheer.

Modern Christmas Centerpiece Trends

While traditional flowers are always a beautiful choice, you might be looking for something a little different this year. Here are some modern trends we're loving at Hilly Fields Florist:

• Mixed Evergreen Centerpieces: Combine different types of evergreens – pine, fir, spruce, cedar – for a textured and natural look. Add pinecones, berries, and subtle lighting for extra sparkle.


• White on White Arrangements: A sophisticated and elegant look featuring white roses, lilies, carnations, and frosted greenery.


• Berry-Filled Designs: Incorporate vibrant berries like hypericum, winterberry, or crabapples for a pop of color and a touch of whimsy.


• Succulents and Air Plants: For a unique and long-lasting centerpiece, consider adding succulents and air plants to your arrangement.


• Non-Floral Elements: We love incorporating branches, ornaments, and candles into our Christmas centerpieces to create a truly custom design.

Choosing the Right Size and Shape

Consider the size of your table and the overall aesthetic of your dining room when choosing a centerpiece. A low, sprawling arrangement is ideal for conversations, while a taller, more dramatic design can be perfect for a larger table. We can help you select the perfect size and shape for your space.
