Containers

Contain your excitement because it is so easy to go overboard on holiday shopping. That is why preparation is so important. Although we can give you advice on what you should stock, only you know what sold successfully in your shop this past year. Communication and preparation are your pathway to a smooth holiday season.

It is important to compare. Compare your previous records with the estimated hopeful increase in buyers. Contrast the past year’s trends with this year’s trends. After evaluating your list (of information), prepare your inventory because buying early gives you more of a variety to choose from. You don’t want to be stuck with the leftovers.

The key to any flower arrangement for the holidays is the accessories incorporated in. One of the most important accessories starts at a flower arrangement’s core, its foundation. Unless your client requests a hand-tied design, it is important to offer options when it comes to containers. Some must-have containers for the holidays include popular holiday shades. Greens and reds are given options, but there are other containers that prove essential for the holidays.

The Christmas season is surrounded by giving, glitz and glam and all things magical. Consider gold when buying containers for your holiday arrangements. Gold vases and containers have grown in popularity. Their popularity could be due to their shimmery feel, or perhaps, it is found in their wide range of uses.

Their gold design pairs wonderfully with the red floral shades of Christmas, but gold containers can also be reused for glam birthday designs and more formal events. This makes gold vases and containers a must-have choice for holiday prep.

Popular Florals and More

Choosing florals that work with popular holiday color schemes is one way to better prep for the holidays. Red and green are givens for Christmas trees. Blues and whites are for snowy nights, and silvers and golds go with the bold styles of the holidays.

Poinsettias are a constant floral topping the charts of holiday floral forecasts. A holiday staple, poinsettias are often in high demand for every flower shop during the winter season. Potted or incorporated into designs, poinsettias prove cost affective for holiday inventory.

Of course, it is important to consider the traditional go-to flowers, such as roses, for holiday arrangements, but with every generation of buyers, there comes a different generation of design styles. Modern holiday designs tend to be enhanced to fit with living trends. With Christmas offering up beautiful shades of red floral, consider some alternatives to fit 2019’s floral style. Forced bulbs such as paperwhite narcissus, tulips and amaryllis may be the alternative floral choice for more modern designs.

It is important to plan out your regular purchases along with florals for alternative designs. When ordering for pre-holiday prep, consider your pre-greened holiday centerpieces, such as evergreen trees. They allow you to add diversity to your designs and décor. Plus, they help cut down on labor costs. They are attractive to the consumer for their overall charm and diverse nature, and they are easy to personalize their design and send out in a flash.
