The last thing you want on Christmas Eve is to refresh your tracking page and see your bouquet of flowers for Christmas still “in transit”. Your table is set, the gifts are wrapped, guests are on their way and your X’mas flower bouquet is nowhere to be seen.
This is exactly why we encourage you to pre-order your Christmas floral bouquets and lock in your delivery date before the holiday rush hits.
Why Pre-Order Bouquets for Christmas?
Christmas week is the busiest time of the year for any Christmas florist. Delivery slots are limited and popular flowers, like Christmas lilies, berries and seasonal foliage, sell out early. Pre-ordering helps you:
- Secure your preferred design for your X’mas bouquets.
- Choose an exact delivery date that fits your schedule.
- Avoid price surges and last minute substitutions.
- Relax knowing your flower bouquet for Christmas is already booked and confirmed.
As a boutique studio, we limit the number of X’mas bouquets we accept each day to ensure each one is crafted with full attention. When you pre order, your place in our design calendar is guaranteed.
When to Order Christmas Bouquets for Delivery?
Here is a simple, stress-free timeline we recommend for guaranteed delivery of your Christmas floral bouquet.
For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Gifting
If you are planning to send a Christmas bouquet arrangement to family, friends or clients, we recommend ordering 2 to 3 weeks before Christmas. Ordering early gives you access to our full range of arrangements and allows you to choose your preferred delivery window.
For Christmas Home Décor and Centrepieces
For a flawless table arrangement at your home gathering, it is best to place your order 1 to 2 weeks before the event. You can schedule your bouquet to arrive 1 to 2 days before your dinner so the flowers have time to open beautifully.
For Christmas Wedding Bouquets and Events
For weddings, receptions or formal events that include Christmas bridal bouquets and coordinating florals, we recommend booking 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding. This allows us to perfect your palette, confirm your flower needs and plan every detail for your bouquets, floral centrepieces and ceremony pieces.
What is the 3-5-8 Rule for Bouquets?
Florists often rely on the 3–5–8 rule to create arrangements that feel balanced, full and professionally styled. The idea is simple:
- Use three focal flowers to anchor the design. These are the stars of your arrangement, and their placement determines where the eye lands first.
- Incorporate Five secondary flowers or greenery to add structure. These supporting stems add depth, introduce texture and help shape the bouquet.
- Add eight filler flowers or seasonal accent elements to complete the shape. These details create fullness and ensure the bouquet looks lush from every angle. They tie the entire arrangement together.
How To Make a Christmas Bouquet
- Red Roses and Deep Red Roses bring warmth and festive emotion, making them ideal standout blooms.
- White Calla Lilies, White Roses, Lisianthus and Hydrangeas symbolize purity and peace, softening the composition while keeping it elegant.
- Green Cymbidium Orchids and Green Dianthus add modern luxury and freshness, perfect for creating texture.
- Winter berries and Hypericum berries introduce cheerful pops of red and signal abundance.
- Leucadendron and other burgundy foliage contribute structure, depth and a rich seasonal tone.
- Evergreens offer fragrance, fullness and the symbolism of hope and strength throughout winter.
- Ornamental foliage and pine cones add rustic charm and round out the bouquet with festive texture.
Pre-ordering your custom floral arrangement will give you peace of mind and a beautiful, thoughtfully designed arrangement that truly belongs in your holiday memories.
