Still not sure about what special touch or addition a special someone’s gift may need this year? Or need an office plant or office flower to spruce up the workplace? It’s a time when you’re probably not alone, as friends and family and coworkers are likely scrambling to make last minute purchases and just the right decision on what exactly their friends, loved ones and maybe you would like to receive this year. It is also the season for event flower design, when fancy venues and hotel lobby flower arrangements are on display. So there is no shortage of innovative, fresh ideas and sexy designs! And, fortunately for you—as well as Father Christmas—Flowers24Hours imbues every one of its seasonal flower arrangements and gifts with a bit of Christmas spirit. Now, not only is flower delivery easy, but there is also plenty to choose from.
This year, we have also decided to explain some of the history and underlying meaning of the flowers and styles of arrangements particular to the season. Of course, there are strong associations with winter itself (such as winter fruits and evergreens), the good cheer and jolly sentiments that surround Christmas, and certain flowers that signify love, companionship and renewal around the New Year. Understanding the meaning of and symbolism behind the flowers you choose will help you to select just the right arrangement and send a message that’s nothing less than perfect. Whether it’s Christmas roses, office plants and corporate flowers arrangements, or event flowers and gift baskets, you’ll have the knowledge to make the best decision.
London florists and flower delivery services are at their busiest this time of year, especially in the weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year’s. Every winter, in addition to normal London flower delivery, Flowers24Hours’ top florists are at work designing installations of floral art for private events, hotel flowers decoration, restaurant and bar flowers and corporate flower arrangements. We take pride in helping London decorate itself for Christmas—and no matter how small or large one particular arrangement may be, we always give it the same careful attention.
When going to send flowers or buy gifts for those we truly care about, we always try and pay attention to those small details, things that make it special or add a personal touch. As restaurant florists in London and corporate florists in London, we are always thinking about these tiny details—year round. But during Christmas and New Year’s, on a personal level, special gifts and kind acts take on a tremendous import. We can’t help it; we know that the year is coming to a close and that, especially during the holiday season, we feel a closeness to our friends and between our family as we rekindle memories we’ve had over the past year, celebrate, and spend time indoors together, trying to stay warm and dry and merry! With the right know-how, too, you can decorate yourself and spot the perfect flowers gift. It certainly doesn’t take an event florist in London to pull off something special.
So, from Flowers24Hours, take a look at some our top picks for the Christmas season—the best gifts, the best flowers, and what they mean!

Flowers gifts best at Christmas
Some gifts won’t come as a surprise—roses, for example—but they are lovely all the same. Red Christmas roses, as much a sign of love and passion now as any other time of year, are perfect for any Christmas bouquet or wicker basket (like the Timeless Beauty). They make great centrepiece events flowers or the main feature for private events, like romantic evenings in or a night out with someone special. Alternatively, the Heart of Winter arrangement lightens things up, with white tulips and gold foil—a delightful office flowers gift or London flower delivery for a friend.
Christmas Wreathes, strength and welcome
Wreathes are probably one of the most recognizable symbols of Christmas, and one of the oldest, most universally used. The root of the word “wreath” actually comes from both Middle English and Old English. Today, though, wreaths can be found hanging from any entrance, and are a favorite for restaurants and hotel décor, corporate florists in London, and peoples’ homes alike. Made of evergreens, they symbolize strength and perseverance through winter and the year to come!
Winter Plants, the natural landscape
Plants in winter take on a rare, special meaning. They are the spot of green in a white snowdrift, or their texture, as foliage, helps to balance and even out the wide contrasts and hues on some brighter flower arrangements. Flowers24Hours’ Innocence, a bouquet of white lilies, and Hyacinths Galore both manage to bring a very natural appeal into any home, or at private events, and their bright reveal is reminiscent of the single flower unearthed atop a snow bank. Also, Christmas plant arrangements can take advantage of the wonderful found objects and colours of the season itself, such as the Colours of Christmas, with ornaments, pinecones and cinnamon sticks, or the red and green leaves on the Poinsettia Plant.
Holiday Baskets: the sweet, savoury and full of spirits
Sounds like a riddle, right? Well it’s true! These types of gifts are all about having fun, giving in a little bit around the holiday season. And you never know how much fun they’ll be until you indulge. Whether it’s the literal sweetness of fruit, red wine or fine chocolates; chestnuts and walnuts (which means work, but it’ll be worth it!); or a plush, stuffed toy for comfort, there are many ways for you to interpret and enjoy a holiday gift basket!
