Made up of all real roses, the Eve Rose Bouquet is a great gift to send for the holidays, or to buy for yourself and enjoy at home anytime.

Jolly, Jolly Juniper Roses

For those who flock to fun Christmas decorations, the Juniper Bouquet will blow you away. Flashing red and green petals splashed with white party paint, Juniper roses are a dazzling vision of holiday magic. Great for holiday parties with friends or for sending to family members who love the Christmas season.

Because these roses are so eye-catching, we recommend placing them in a simple white vase or clear glass vase to let the roses steal the spotlight.

Deck the Halls with Holiday Roses

‘Tis the season for decorating, and we’ve got flowers for making every inch of your home feel magical this winter. Check out our flower recommendations for these trending holiday styles.

Farmhouse Christmas Décor

The modern farmhouse style keeps trending higher and higher each week. This fresh look relies on rustic charm, with white, cream, and natural wood textures essential to the look. A simple evergreen tree with burlap and white accents is the core of the farmhouse Christmas style, but you can take your style up a notch by adding fresh flowers into the mix!

The Casablanca Bouquet is perfect for an authentic farmhouse décor palette. Tuck these fresh white roses into lush green garland hung above the mantle or into the Christmas tree itself. The pop of white creates soothing color contrast with fresh greenery, capturing the calm composure that’s characteristic of the modern farmhouse look.

A Touch of Silver and Gold

Add elegance to holiday décor with the shimmering gold flowers in the Golden Frost Rose Bouquet. Tuck these flashy metallic blooms in a white vase for a major statement piece.

Silver and gold Christmas decorations capture the magic and significance of the holiday season. If silver and/or gold is your style, you can dress up your holiday decorations with roses that reflect the same sentiment. Plus, these flashy bouquets are perfect for transitioning right into New Year’s celebrations.

Merry Grinchmas

Lean into the Grinch vibe with all-green holiday décor. Two different holiday bouquets nail this trend perfectly. First, the Grinch Bouquet has a lemony-lime look to it, perfect for adding bright, zesty color to the table.

And if you want something a little more elegant, the Naughty or Nice Bouquet offers a fantastic blend of green and white colors in a swirl pattern on each rose. Absolutely gorgeous, this bouquet is an awesome sight to see.

Classic Christmas Style

Sometimes a classic take can bring all the feels. Red, white and green are the go-to colors for Christmas, and the Marshmallow Bouquet reflects that familiar charm.

Fresh white roses are tucked between sprigs of green and red for a classic color combo that will look great in any home. This is the ultimate holiday bouquet, so show it off at the focal point of any room – entryway table, mantle, dining room centerpiece, etc.

Creative Flower Décor Ideas for Christmas

Bouquets are beautiful on their own – there’s no question about that. But decorating for Christmas is all about feeling festive and putting your own spin on the setting. Don’t be afraid to get creative to take your Christmas decorating up a notch! This means having the guts to take apart a fresh bouquet and get crafty.

Not sure what to do when it comes to decorating for the holidays with fresh flowers? Here are a few creative ideas: 

• Add fresh flowers to the Christmas tree. Whether you use a fresh tree or a fake one, you can always add an element of beauty by tucking fresh roses into the Christmas tree. Choose a contrasting color, like white, pink or light red, so that the roses are noticeable against the green branches. Then, trim the stems shorter, leaving about 3-4 inches of stem beneath the flower head. This gives you just enough length to secure the stem to the branches of the Christmas tree with a ribbon or twine.

• Make your own Christmas wreath or Advent Wreath. You can never have enough wreaths around this time of year. Making your own wreath with fresh flowers lets you pick the precise colors you want.

• Double the impact with mirrors. This trend is all about creating dimension and ambiance by lining up mirrors of different sizes along a shelf, mantle, or dresser. Then, place your roses along with candles and other small Christmas trinkets on the shelf. With mirrors in the background, you can get wonderful illumination and a 360-degree view. The key to making this décor trend look elegant is to keep the mirrors matching. All frames should be the same color – we recommend gold, as it goes really well with other Christmas décor.

• Tuck a single rose in each stocking on Christmas morning. What a gift! Putting a single rose into each stocking is a wonderful way to spread the love and make sure everyone in the family feels special on Christmas morning. If you want to pick a different color for each family member, you can always Assemble Your Own Bouquet, so that everyone gets a unique rose variety in their stocking.

• Welcome visiting family members by leaving a special holiday bouquet in the guest room. Lots of people have family in town during the holidays. If someone is staying in your guest room, make them feel extra special by leaving a holiday bouquet in their room or on the bedside table. Include a note so they know that the bouquet is just for them. Putting a fresh bouquet in the guest room is a classy touch that will make visiting family feel fully welcome.
