A Candlelight Christmas Centerpiece

Going Traditional

Traditional Christmas plants and flowers are a classic way to set the scene and get everyone in the holiday mood. These festive Christmas flower decor accents have red and green as the central theme.

Holiday centerpieces. The holiday centerpiece brings a warm, inviting focal point to your gathering. A Candlelight Christmas will light up your table with your choice of one, two or three taper candles surrounded by holiday greenery, red carnations, white mums, faux berries, pine cones, and small metallic red ornaments. 

Poinsettia. The classic holiday poinsettia plant combines stunning bright red leaves with dark greenery and is the perfect holiday accent plant. Buy poinsettia on its own in Winter’s Kiss, or get it mingled with other flowers as in the O Come All Ye arrangement, which includes a poinsettia plus elements that could include ferns, cyclamen, kalanchoe, ivy, azalea, African violet, peace lily, prayer plant, diffenbachia, and more.

Home for the Holidays combines stargazer lilies with red roses and greenery for a breathtaking effect. The Christmas Waltz features calla lilies along with mini hydrangeas and holiday accents in understated gold, umber and sepia tones.
