Send Christmas Flowers

To order Christmas flowers, online shoppers must allow two days advance notice for most florists. Due to a peak floral delivery season for holidays, Christmas arrangements are more likely to arrive on time if ordered at least 48 hours in advance. Instead of wrestling with artifical trees and armfuls of tangled lights, online shoppers can send Yuletide greetings or grace personal homes with holiday bouquets and arrangements from elegant to whimsical. From the front door to the mantle, around the staircase, and on a holiday tabletop, Yuletide flowers set the tone for a season of celebrating the birth of Christ. And holiday arrangements don't have to be limited to the traditional red and green mix of poinsettias and holly. Christmas is a time to reflect on the beauty of God's creation; and an abundance of flowers may be available to deck the halls with more than just bows of holly. Winter white roses, French tulips, magnolia leaves, pungent eucalyptus, or lilies all make lovely arrangements for home, church, and office.

Holidays can be less hectic when shoppers choose to send Christmas flowers online, saving more time to leisurely savor and celebrate the true meaning of the season. More than a day for giving gifts and enjoying bountiful meals with family members, December 25th is a day to reverence and remember Christ: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this" (Isaiah 9:6-7).

While families and friends traditionally send Christmas flowers as fragrant remembrances of the holy day, other reasons to wire winter floral arrangements are just as appropriate. Winter brides can order Christmas flowers to grace a church, chapel, or reception hall with an abundance of fresh arrangements using a monochromatic mix of white lilies and romantic roses with baby's breath, wrapped with pristine bows of spun gauze. Unique floral sprays of huge pinecones, fragrant fresh seasonal citruses, and tiny gift boxes for guests to take home can adorn each tabletop. Winter white roses cascading from glass hurricane lamps on a bed of dried magnolia leaves can grace a majestic marriage altar, setting the stage for once-in-a-lifetime nuptials.

New Dads who elect to send Christmas flowers to new Moms to make the birth of a holiday baby more memorable will get lots of hugs and kisses. Floral bouquets can be arranged with baby booties, rattlers, and tiny washcloth rosebuds for a unique Mother/baby gift that is both pretty and practical. Loving couples of any age can send holiday arrangements to simply say, "I love you," and warm up a cold winter night in front of a romantic Yuletide fireplace. Instead of the traditional engraved greeting card, business associates, doctors offices, lawyers' firms, and corporations can spread holiday cheer with sophisticated wreaths of green holly with bright red berries, natural raffia, and spruce sprays.

Well wishers can wire flowers for each day of the twelve days of Christmas. Arrangements fashioned from seasonal poinsettias, pine boughs, and evergreens can incorporate a tiny partridge in a pear tree, turtledoves, gold rings and other treasures mentioned in this popular holiday song, all to the delight of someone special. Fresh mistletoe also creates an intriguing atmosphere or a romantic moment. Churches and chapels can order Christmas flowers to last throughout the holiday season, especially to grace the altar for special services. Imagine white pillar candles carefully placed among live red poinsettias and a garland of spruce and holly, with a vermillion velvet ribbon along the entire length of a worship altar or vestibule. Holiday floral arrangements make celebrating the birth of Christ spectacular.

To order Christmas flowers, individuals or corporations can browse the Internet for online florists with domestic and international contacts in nearly every city and country on the globe. International orders also require one to two days advance notice. Online florists work via a global network of professional florists to send Christmas flowers from coast to coast or country to country. Bear in mind that the availability of some species and arrangements may be limited depending upon the country or region orders are received and filled. Cyberspace flower shops usually offer menus of floral selections available outside of North America. Shoppers can pay for orders using a major credit card and can expect flowers to be wired either the same day or the following day in most U.S. cities and states. Internet customers can specify whether orders should be delivered in the morning or evening, usually after 9:00 a.m. or near 5:00 p.m.

Shoppers can browse online florists' websites for tips on not only on how to order Christmas flowers, but how to preserve them throughout the holiday season. Long stemmed roses can be trimmed at the ends and placed in a clean vase with a packet of preservative added to the water to maintain freshness. Floral sites also include photos and articles on different species and suggestions as to their use. Corporations may qualify for volume discounts, while individuals are invited to sign up for free emails regarding seasonal specials and reminders of loved ones' birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions to send flowers, other than the usual holidays. And speaking of holidays: if customers wait until the night before Christmas, online florists may not be able to accommodate them. Ordering two to three days ahead of time will ensure a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
