Many of you know I'm a sucker for freshly cut flowers, all those blousy blooms filling the home with their sweet scents, and as much as Christmas brings natures foraged delights of ivy and holly, there's certainly still room for fresh flowers at Christmas.
Now that the nights are drawing in and the days are darker too, I find my thoughts wandering to summer skies and doses of Vitamin D as a pick me up. To tackle this I've decided to try and embrace Hygge, the Danish buzz word that has everyone trying to take comfort in the moment and embrace cosy living, but it's not all lighting candles and lounging on sheepskin rugs *mental note buy a fluffy rug to lounge on.* Hygge is more a state of mind, reminding yourself to find happiness in the small acts that bring joy. So if surrounding yourself with beautiful flowers brings you happiness then it would make sense to include them in your festive decor as
flowers are for everyone, no matter the season.
There's something so special about creating the perfect focal point in your home, whatever your colour palette, whether it's dark purples and maroon tones matched with gold, or soft whites with eucalyptus and pale linen. Check out these stunning winter floral for inspiration:
I love a good mix of traditional Christmas traditions and soft Scandi style during December and tend to focus on creating beautiful table centre pieces, simple wall hangings and lots of candles, twinkly lights and evenings spent laughing with friends. I really excited to embrace Christmas this year and wrap myself in those cosy moments. Have you created Hygge? What style would your fresh flowers for Christmas be?

I am all about the candles! Candles, big chunky throws and the lovely sense of warmth and togetherness that the winter brings. Every day on the dusky walk home from school, we all get a little excited to get hygge!

ReplyDeleteI love freshly cut flowers in my home too. Even better if they come from someone's garden or are my favourites (irises).

ReplyDeleteI have never been into fresh flowers, but as I am getting older and am finding a love for them. When you have them in the house, it just feels more brighter and fresh.
ReplyDeleteFresh flowers can really change the feeling of a whole room can't they? Honestly, I don't get flowers enough and I really would like to start buying some to brighten up the house.
