It’s still early in the season to think about Christmas, but everyone knows that the holiday season flies by. Make sure that you don’t get caught off guard by thinking about your holiday preparations and Christmas shopping early on.
If you like to keep flowers around your house or you have some holiday parties that you don’t want to attend empty-handed, consider some of the latest trends for Christmas flower delivery.
2021 trends for Christmas flower delivery
There are so many different flowers out there and countless combinations of flowers, greenery and accents that can be made into gorgeous arrangements that bring freshness and color to a room. Here are a few different ideas for gorgeous and trendy floral arrangements that are perfect for the holiday season:
Traditional Christmas colors: When most people think of Christmas floral arrangements, they imagine the traditional Christmas color combination of red, green and gold. This traditional color combination can be achieved in floral arrangements with a mix of lush greenery, red roses and gold ribbons or accents. If you are looking for an arrangement that goes with traditional Christmas decor, a combination of red, green and gold is the way to go.
Nordic style: Nordic-style Christmas arrangements are characterized by natural foliage, delicate white flowers and authentic wood accents to create a naturally festive look. Greenery like eucalyptus and evergreen branches contrasted with soft ivory blooms make the perfect arrangement for those who prefer an understated look.
Maximalist arrangements: If you think that being understated is overrated, a maximalist arrangement with bright, festive colors is the way to go. Bright oranges, pinks, purples and blues are perfect for attracting attention and creating a festive environment that’s merry and bright.
Mini Christmas trees: Christmas trees are one of the most popular features of the Christmas season—so why stop at just one Christmas tree in your home this holiday season? Mini Christmas trees make the perfect alternative to traditional flower arrangements. There’s no better way to ring in the holiday season than with a gorgeous miniature Christmas tree that can be lit up and decorated in time for holiday guests and festivities.
Winter foliage: Flowers are often in shorter supply during the winter months because of dropping temperatures and limited sunlight. Instead of trying to track down fresh flowers for your home this holiday season, consider embracing what the winter has to offer by choosing winter foliage arrangements. Winter foliage arrangements with evergreen branches, pinecones and other accents can set the tone for the season while offering a unique look that’s sure to wow guests and get your space ready for the holidays.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you plan on hosting dinner, it’s time to start preparing. Sure, you may have decided on what you’re going to cook, but have you thought about decorations? Nothing says creativity and elegance like a beautiful flower arrangement. The right flower arrangement will impress your guests and give everyone something to remember—besides the delicious food, of course.
If you’re having trouble coming up with ideas for Thanksgiving flower arrangements, check out the suggestions we’ve listed below—we’re sure something will jump out at you!
Get creative with pumpkins: Nothing says fall quite like pumpkins. These orange gourds can add a great aesthetic to your Thanksgiving dinner when included in a beautiful flower arrangement. You could invest in a ceramic pumpkin vase or hollow out a small, real one to place flowers inside. White pumpkin vases are especially popular and go great with white- and orange-colored flowers.
Go rustic: It’s easy to let your creativity shine when going with rustic decor. Rustic decor offers a relaxing atmosphere by utilizing natural materials like wood, stone and leaves. You can add to your rustic-themed Thanksgiving dinner by getting a flower arrangement with features like olive branches, peach roses and rice flowers.
Design a classic fruit bowl: The tried-and-true fruit bowl is a great addition to any table setting. You could also take it up a notch by including colorful flowers along with the fruit. For the bowl itself, you might choose a small straw basket. You could also display the flowers and fruit on a wooden plank for a charming, natural look. The natural look is especially nice if you plan on hosting Thanksgiving dinner outside.
Tone it down: If you’re looking for elegance, consider going with a toned-down Thanksgiving flower arrangement. That means muted colors and a simple vase. Muted reds and pinks work especially well in a minimal arrangement. Minimal arrangements are beautiful and won’t take away too much attention from the dinner itself.
Brighten things up with sunflowers: Sunflowers are beautiful and always put people in a good mood. Find a nice, brightly-colored vase, and place a few smaller sunflowers inside. You could accent the sunflowers by adding a few branches, leaves and smaller flowers to the vase as well.
Go bold: While some people choose to have their Thanksgiving flower arrangements fade into the background, others would rather have an arrangement that pops. To achieve this, go with an arrangement full of brightly-colored flowers. Orange, pink and yellow tones work especially well during the fall season.
There are so many options when it comes to designing Thanksgiving flower arrangements. The best thing you can do is contact an expert florist for help. Professional florists know how to create flower arrangements that go with any decoration, so they can easily take your ideas and turn them into reality.

Mums are a type of flower extremely popular in Texas during the homecoming season. This is because mums have a longstanding tradition of being worn by high school girls and boys while attending their homecoming parade, dance and football game. Mums are such an important part of the homecoming tradition that many people keep theirs long after graduation.
Those who aren’t from Texas might not understand the tradition, but it holds a lot of history—some people even say that Texans started giving each other mums back in the 1930s.
Read on if you’re interested in learning more about these beautiful homecoming mums.
How mums are worn
Traditionally, boys and girls wear their mums differently. For girls, the mums are usually worn around the neck. Boys, on the other hand, usually wear their mums on their wrists or arms. Called a garter, the mum corsage for the boy is usually smaller than it is for the girl.
Mums are a huge part of the homecoming dance experience. Traditionally, one teenager will ask another to the homecoming dance by offering them a date mum. If two teenagers are attending a homecoming dance together, their mums should match.
Where to get mums
Some people attempt to make a mum corsage on their own, though it’s usually best to contact a professional florist. It’s easy to make a mistake when trying to create a mum corsage on your own—not to mention that the supplies for creating one are quite expensive. You might even end up saving money by hiring a professional instead.
Mums play an important part in every teenager’s high school experience, which is why it’s important that the corsage looks perfect. Usually, a good florist will work with you on price—just be sure to work with a reputable florist who has years of experience in producing beautiful corsages.
How long does it take to create a mum arrangement?
It’s a good rule of thumb to order your mum arrangement a few weeks in advance. While simple arrangements may not take that long, you can never tell when a florist will get extra busy. This is especially a possibility during the homecoming season. If you don’t want your child to end up mum-less, start planning right away. Plus, arrangements are often cheaper when you order them in advance instead of at the last minute.
Decorating mum arrangements
A homecoming mum corsage should show off the wearer’s personality. This might mean including LED lights, glitter, costume jewelry or other features. There are plenty of ways to make a mum corsage more creative—just be sure to get an expert’s advice first. You don’t want to end up accidentally destroying an arrangement by adding heavy decorations or too much adhesive.
If you’re looking for the perfect homecoming mum corsage or another flower arrangement, contact the expert florists at It’s Just for You Flower Delivery. We create handcrafted flower arrangements that are sure to brighten up almost any event. Make your next special occasion one to remember by letting us take care of your flower arrangement needs.

Grandparents Day is just around the corner—this year, it falls on Sunday, September 12. Have you thought about how you will celebrate your grandparents (or your parents who are grandparents) yet?
In the age of COVID-19, these types of holidays have often been celebrated from a distance. The rise of the delta variant has led to many people returning to quarantine and separating from friends and family.
The good news is there are still ways you can show your appreciation and love for your grandparents, even if you cannot physically gather with them. One of the best ways is to send flowers, balloons and other gifts, along with a nice greeting card.
Here are just a few of the benefits of going with Grandparents Day flower delivery:
It’s safe: Delivery teams take and fill your order and transport it directly to the recipient with minimal contact. You don’t have to worry about potential COVID-19 infection as a result of visiting a flower shop or anyone spending extended time with your grandparent.
It’s fast: You can have an order filled and delivered very quickly—sometimes, on the very same day you order. This means even if you forget to place the order or procrastinate until the weekend of Grandparents Day, you’ll still be able to have a gift delivered to them.
It’s easy: You can either place your order online, or call a florist and discuss your wishes and have them take care of everything for you. The entire ordering process is quick, and then you don’t have to spend the time going to pick up the arrangement and delivering it yourself. If you need a quick and easy way to show your love to your grandparents, this is one of the best methods of accomplishing that.
Service around the clock: If you go with a shop that enables online ordering, you can place your order at any time of day, rather than having to visit or call during regular business hours. This is particularly beneficial for people who work third shift or odd hours, and simply do not have time during standard hours to put in an order.
Find what you want: If, for whatever reason, one florist does not have exactly what you’re looking for to put in your arrangement, you can always browse other sites or call other flower shops, rather than having to drive around.
Looking for specific flower and arrangement ideas to send to your grandparents? Maybe you need help finding some additional accessories to make the gift even more meaningful? Get in touch with our team at It’s Just For You Flower Delivery, and we’ll be happy to help you create a flower arrangement and gift your grandparents will truly appreciate.
In addition to Grandparents Day flower delivery, we’re also offering curbside pickup available upon request to accommodate your COVID-19-related safety concerns. And if this is your first time ordering with us, be sure to take advantage of our $5 off discount for new customers!
