As the holiday season draws near, the right greenery can transform your home into a festive haven. From classic evergreens to vibrant seasonal foliage, the best choices enhance your décor and evoke the season's warmth and joy. Amie Fleming from Fleming Floral Station shares her expert insights on the greenery options that can elevate your holiday displays. Whether you’re decorating indoors or outdoors, these choices will create an inviting atmosphere that captures the spirit of the holidays.
Noble Fir
This greenery is a popular choice for the holidays, known for its crisp fragrance and lush blue-green needles. The noble fir is also prized for its sturdy branches and elegant appearance, making it ideal for both holiday decorations and landscaping. It’s especially great for wreaths and garlands, adding to the festive holiday cheer.
Holly
A timeless symbol of the holiday season, holly is known for its vibrant red berries and glossy green leaves. While beautiful, it’s important to note that the berries are toxic and should not be consumed. Including holly branches adds a pop of color to your holiday décor, and their versatility makes them perfect for both indoor and outdoor displays. Whether draped across a mantel, incorporated into table settings, or used as a decorative accent in arrangements, holly brings a classic seasonal charm.
Cedar
Already have some seasonal greenery? Adding cedar will enhance your arrangement with extra texture. Its rich dark green foliage, soft texture, and woodsy fragrance create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Try incorporating cedar into wreaths or as a festive backdrop. Its durability also makes it perfect for outdoor decorations, withstanding the elements while maintaining its beauty throughout the season.
Boxwood
If you want to add an elegant touch to your holiday décor, boxwood is a perfect choice. Its rich, forest-green leaves and ability to be shaped allow you to create unique arrangements. Boxwood is a favorite for creating wreaths and centerpieces, but it can be used to frame doorways, line mantels, or serve as a backdrop for candles and ornaments.
