Advent without flowers? Hard to imagine. From the Advent wreath and the poinsettia to a festive table bouquet — flowers are what truly make Christmas feel magical.
Festive Christmas Bouquets
The Advent wreath
In Austria, the Advent wreath is as much a part of Christmas as the Christmas tree. Traditionally round, with 4 candles — but modern versions happily break with tradition.
Classic
- Base: Fir branches (Nordmann, Nobilis, or blue spruce) tied onto a straw wreath.
- Candles: 4 pillar candles in red, white, or burgundy.
- Decor: Cinnamon sticks, dried orange slices, pine cones, red berries (holly), golden baubles.
- Fragrance: Nobilis fir has the most intense scent.
Modern
- Elongated arrangement instead of a round wreath — perfect for narrow tables.
- Eucalyptus + olive branches: Scandinavian-minimalist in green and silver.
- Dried flower wreath: Dried flowers, grasses, and thistles — lasts the whole season.
- Candles in copper, black, or gold: Instead of classic red.
The most important Christmas plants
- Poinsettia: Red, pink, white, or salmon. THE Christmas classic. Care tips here.
- Amaryllis: Spectacular trumpet-shaped flowers in red, white, or bicolour. Available as a bulb or cut flower.
- Christmas rose (Helleborus): Blooms in winter — even in the snow. White flowers with a delicate hint of green.
- Mistletoe: Hang it up, kiss beneath it, bring good luck. A tradition since the Middle Ages.
- Hyacinths: Intense fragrance, compact blooms. Ideal for the windowsill.
Christmas table decorations with flowers
- Low arrangements: So guests can see each other. A shallow bowl with moss, candles, and short-cut flowers.
- Red-Green-Gold: The classic Christmas palette. Red roses, fir branches, golden accents.
- White-Green-Silver: More elegant and modern. White amaryllis, eucalyptus, silver candles.
- A single bloom as a statement: One amaryllis in a slim vase. Minimalist and striking.
- Napkin decoration: A small sprig of rosemary or a eucalyptus leaf on each napkin — simple and beautiful.
Fragrance tip: Hyacinths, cinnamon sticks, orange slices, and noble fir together on the table = Christmas with your eyes closed. But be careful: don't use too many strongly scented elements at once — it can be overwhelming while eating.
Flowers as a Christmas gift
- Christmas flower bouquet: Red and white flowers with fir, pine cones, and cinnamon sticks. Festive and personal.
- Potted orchid: Long-lasting, elegant, and easy to care for. Perfect for people who “don't need anything.”
- Amaryllis bulb: In a pretty pot or glass vase — ready to grow yourself. A charming gift that brings joy for weeks.
- Advent wreath: Hand-tied by a florist — a special gift for the Advent season.

Frequently asked questions
A well-made Advent wreath of fresh fir greenery lasts 3–4 weeks — the entire Advent season. Tips: Mist it regularly with water, don't place it directly above a radiator, and use noble fir (it lasts the longest and sheds very little).
Low arrangements are ideal: red or white roses, cut short, in a shallow bowl with moss and candles. Or a single amaryllis in a slim vase. It's best not to place strongly scented flowers (lilies, hyacinths) directly on the dining table — the fragrance can overpower the meal.
A small Christmas flower bouquet (roses, fir, cinnamon sticks), an amaryllis in a glass vase, or a festively decorated poinsettia. Add a bottle of wine or some chocolates. Tip: A pretty pot of hyacinths (3 bulbs in one pot) is also a popular host gift.
A festive Christmas flower bouquet in rich colors like red, green, and gold creates a celebratory atmosphere. Amaryllis, poinsettias, and holly are classic Christmas flowers.
