Sending flowers for christmas

Christmas flowers are one of the most enjoyable and underutilised ways to decorate a home during the festive season, and they also make outstanding gifts for everyone on your list. From the iconic poinsettia to elegant white amaryllis, seasonal wreaths to luxury Christmas bouquets, UK florists produce some of their most creative work in December. Sending Christmas flowers to family, friends, or colleagues is a warm and personal gesture that stands out in a season dominated by chocolates and gift vouchers. The combination of winter foliage, deep reds, crisp whites, and gold accents creates arrangements of genuine visual drama.

Christmas is the busiest period of the year for UK florists — order well in advance, ideally by the end of November or first week of December, to guarantee your preferred delivery date. Most UK florists stop taking Christmas orders by 22 or 23 December. If you are ordering for Christmas Day itself, check whether your chosen florist delivers on 25 December — most do not, so arrange delivery for 23 or 24 December instead. Bloom & Wild, Interflora, and Serenata Flowers all have dedicated Christmas delivery schedules.

Tips for choosing christmas flowers

Order well in advance

December is the busiest month of the year for UK florists. Order Christmas flowers by the end of November or very early December to guarantee availability of your preferred arrangement and delivery date. Last-minute Christmas orders risk disappointment — many popular designs sell out weeks before the 25th.

Embrace winter foliage

The best Christmas arrangements use winter foliage — holly, ivy, eucalyptus, pine, and mistletoe — to create depth and fragrance. These elements are at peak quality in December and add a genuinely seasonal feel that imported tropical flowers cannot replicate.

Christmas flowers as gifts

Christmas flowers make outstanding host gifts for Christmas lunch or dinner, and thoughtful alternatives to the standard bottle of wine or box of chocolates. A beautiful poinsettia in a decorative pot, or a luxurious Christmas bouquet, will genuinely delight the recipient and look wonderful in their home throughout the festive period.

Consider a wreath or table display

Many UK florists now offer Christmas wreaths, table centrepieces, and mantelpiece arrangements as alternatives to traditional bouquets. These can be ordered for delivery in the weeks before Christmas and will last throughout the festive period. Appleyard and Interflora both have excellent Christmas homeware ranges.
