Imagine that a dusting of snow blankets the yard and your family and friends have gathered inside your home to help you count down to the New Year. Are there flowers on the entryway table to greet them? Did you place bowls full of flowers on the table for your New Year’s meal?
Flowers are a perfect complement to the streamers, confetti, and raised glasses of your New Year’s celebration.
Celebrating the Beauty of Winter
The New Year is a time for renewal and resolutions, and the holiday usually comes with some chilly or downright frigid temperatures. Floral arrangements in white, ivory, and silver are a beautiful way to celebrate the season. You’ll get to enjoy your exquisite white flowers even after your New Year’s guests have returned home.
A beautiful vase of winter white lilies offers a vibrant and lively contrast to the trees and plants outside your home that sleep through the winter and won’t awaken until the spring. Your majestic lilies will offer beauty well into January with their striking profile.
What to Bring to Visit with Friends
If you’ve been invited elsewhere to celebrate the New Year, you’ll want to choose a gift for your friends. You might think about a gourmet fruit basket. Enjoy seasonal treats and delicious apples, bananas and pears with your friends as you count down to 2015.
If you’re attending a formal event for New Year’s and wish to bring a gift, you might think about classic mixed roses, which will feel appropriate as a winter bouquet sitting within lush holiday greens.

Getting Multicultural at the New Year
The Chinese celebrate their traditional New Year shortly after western countries, and they have some amazing traditions for decorating with flowers and live plants. Homes often feature plants in every single room, so no space in the home is without the beautiful scent and feel of flowers.
Flowers, as well fruit, are said to bring the family good fortune for the New Year, which gives wonderful meaning to the arrangements you bring into the home. No matter your heritage, using flowers to ring in the New Year is an elegant and welcoming way to celebrate with your friends and family. Let Schaaf Floral help you pick the perfect decor.
