Christmas Flower Arrangements: A Melbourne Florist's Guide to Festive Flower
Christmas Flower Arrangements: A Melbourne Florist’s Guide to Festive Flowers
Christmas in Melbourne means long summer days, gatherings around the table and plenty of beautiful seasonal flowers.
At Pash Flowers, we love creating Christmas flowers that feel festive without being overly traditional. Whether you love classic red and green, something soft and elegant, or a table filled with colour, Christmas is a lovely time to have a little fun with flowers.
Christmas Flowers for the Table
Flowers can completely transform a Christmas table, but they don't need to take over.
For long tables, we love using a collection of smaller arrangements or bud vases scattered between the food, glassware and candles. For round tables, a beautiful low arrangement creates a lovely centrepiece while still allowing everyone to see each other across the table.
And because it's a Melbourne summer, we always design with the weather in mind, choosing flowers and foliage that will hold up beautifully throughout the day.
What Flowers Are in Season at Christmas?
One of the things we love most about working with flowers is that no two weeks at the market are exactly the same.
Rather than designing around a strict list of flowers, we recommend choosing a colour palette and overall feel, then allowing your florist a little creative freedom to select what's looking its best.
Depending on the season and availability, Christmas arrangements might include beautiful summer blooms such as roses, hydrangea, dahlias and other locally grown flowers, mixed with interesting foliage and textural elements.
We source from Victorian growers whenever possible and choose our flowers based on freshness, quality and what genuinely looks beautiful that week.
Choosing Your Christmas Colour Palette
Christmas flowers certainly don't have to be red and green.
For a more traditional Christmas, deep reds, burgundy and lush greenery always look beautiful.
For something softer, whites, creams and fresh greens create an elegant table that works beautifully with natural linens and candlelight.
Or you can forget the Christmas rules altogether.
Bright pinks, peaches, reds, oranges and unexpected pops of colour can create a gorgeous Australian summer table — particularly if your home is already filled with colour.
The best palette is one that feels like you and your home.
Christmas Flowers Make Beautiful Gifts
Flowers are one of our favourite Christmas gifts, particularly for the person who is difficult to buy for.
A beautiful bouquet is perfect for a host, friend, family member, neighbour or someone you simply want to thank at the end of the year.
They're also lovely for corporate gifting — a thoughtful way to thank clients, staff or the people who have supported your business throughout the year.
Add a personal message and we'll take care of the rest.
A Little Advice From Our Florists
Our biggest tip when ordering Christmas flowers is simple: don't get too caught up in choosing every individual flower.
Tell us the colours you love, the feeling you're after and where the flowers are going, and let us work with what's beautiful and in season.
Some of our favourite arrangements come together when there's a little room for creativity.
It's very much the Pash way of doing flowers.
