Christmas is fast approaching, and at The Floral Touch Christmas preparations are well under way, the team are busy getting ready for this special time of the year.

Christmas is our favourite time of the year, all the rich colours, textures and fragrances combined makes a heady concoction, we love making beautiful garlands with rich textures like the blue spruce, ilex berries, cones, and cinnamon, to drape across your mantle or weave around your banister we make these lovely items to order, this way they can be done to match your decor, or your Christmas decorations and also can be made to any length. Another of my favourites is the advent wreath, we have some beautiful scented candle, and combined with the Christmas foliages berries, eucalyptus and long lasting flowers like the rich red Lucadendron, these will last all the way to Christmas Day, making a focal point to any room.”

Christmas door wreaths are another popular item, that can be made to your requirements, you can either go very traditional, with all the lovely dark greens and reds, or you may want to go for the more contemporary feel, with all the whites and silvers.

We often get asked about the history and symbolism of the Christmas Wreath. Wreaths have their origin in the early times of pre-Christianity. The Eastern European people used to light up evergreen wreaths in the cold winter evenings with the hope of early spring and sunshine.

There are different types of Christmas wreaths. The Advent wreath has a special place as it symbolizes belief, prayers and hopes. The other type is the decorative wreath. These wreaths decorate the home or Christmas tree and are mainly ornamental.
