The most magical season of the year is officially here. Christmas is togetherness and joy, a time for celebration and reunions. Family and friends gather to celebrate this moment that fills us with nostalgia and takes us back to childhood memories. We asked our florist for advice on decorating the home and table, and on welcoming everyone who matters with the true spirit of Christmas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Decorating your home is a great way to bring the Christmas spirit into the space where you live. Christmas Wreaths<\/strong> are the essential decorative element in any home. Whether for the front door, to decorate walls, to hang, or to place on the mantelpiece, Christmas wreaths make any environment feel more festive.<\/p>\n\n

With a round base, lined with natural fir branches and decorated with red accents\u2014ilex stems, branches with red berries, or holly\u2014pinecones and small acorns, and a beautiful red velvet ribbon, you can achieve a traditional version. To achieve an elegant and festive result with the same type of base, simply add small baubles and artificial plants in silver or gold tones and white accents that simulate the snow so characteristic of Santa’s homeland. Another option, less traditional but equally beautiful, is decorations in warm orange tones. You can achieve this by adding dried orange slices, small bundles of aromatic cinnamon sticks, natural flowers such as baby eucalyptus stems, and pinecones. To add a touch of sparkle, simply add baubles with a shiny or glitter finish.<\/p>\n\n

All these decorative elements can also be applied to artificial or natural Garlands<\/strong> (to create a natural garland, simply attach small natural fir stems to a rope the length you want for the garland). This is an excellent ornament for decorating table centerpieces, fireplaces, stair railings, as well as placing around doors with LED light garlands. For corners and other areas of the home, in addition to the traditional Christmas Tree, opt for decorations such as Snow Globes, Nutcrackers, and Santa Claus, symbols of the most magical time of the year that will delight the little ones.<\/p>\n\n

The pine tree<\/strong>, natural or artificial, is the traditional plant of this time of year. The traditional Christmas tree, under which gifts are placed to be opened on Christmas night, can be used in smaller sizes to decorate tables and sideboards. Small fir trees made with wooden bases covered with natural plants, such as Nordic fir branches, with or without snow, potted spruces of different heights, create magical and dreamlike environments. Add other natural plants, such as baby holly and poinsettias, placed in pots and planters, and plenty of candles to create a warmer and more intimate atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Use natural flowers<\/strong>, green branches of fir, camellia, and eucalyptus, and accents of red ilex and holly that match the Christmas atmosphere. The Poinsettia, also known as the Christmas Star, Red Roses, and Begonias are also excellent options for natural plants that you can add to your decorations to welcome the approaching festivities.<\/p>\n\n

Moss serves as a base for placing nativity scene figures, including the stable, baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary, the sheep, the donkey, the cow, and the three wise men. Moss can also be used as a base for beautiful Christmas arrangements.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
