Order Your Christmas Flowers Early 

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about festive flowers! Sending a bouquet to family and friends is a fantastic way to spread some holiday cheer. Ordering your Christmas flowers early can ensure you get the perfect collection date and time—but if you wait until the last minute, it may be too late. 

Flowers and plants make great gifts! 

Not sure what to get your office Secret Santa recipient this year? A beautiful floral arrangement or potted plant may be just the thing! A beautiful floral arrangement can make a gorgeous, bespoke gift that keeps on giving past Christmas and into the New Year. Live plants like Amaryllis and Poinsettia are another great option that will continue to grow with their new owners if looked after well (see our guide to caring for flowers and plants in the winter here). This isn’t a unique idea, however, so be sure to order while stock lasts! 

Florists are booking up fast. 

When it comes to ordering flowers, it’s best to place your order at least a week before the event date so that your florist has enough time to deliver them to you on schedule. However, when it comes to peak times such as Christmas, Mother’s Day and Valentines’ Day we recommend getting your order in at least 2-3 weeks prior. You can contact local flower shops directly or browse their websites for more information about seasonal dates, times and cut offs. 

Fresh cut stems are arriving, but supplies are limited and once they’re gone, that’s it for the season. 

Fresh cut stems are coming through to your local Florist each day in the run up to Christmas, but supplies can often be limited and once they’re gone, that’s it for the season. If you are looking for something specific for your Christmas decor, then make sure to get your order in early to avoid the rush and get first pick of wreaths, centrepieces and arrangements.
