Not sure which Christmas flowers to send? Marquis Flower Shop breaks down poinsettias, arrangements and centerpieces so Lethbridge shoppers pick the right one every time.
Ordering Christmas flowers should be the easy part of the season. Then you open the website and see poinsettias, centerpieces, arrangements in vases, arrangements in boxes, and suddenly it's a decision. The right choice really comes down to two questions: who is it for, and where is it going?
At Marquis Flower Shop, we help Lethbridge customers sort this out every December. Here's a quick guide to the three main types of Christmas flowers and when each one makes the most sense.
Choose a poinsettia for a long-lasting, low-fuss gift
A poinsettia is the gift that keeps going. With bright light and careful watering, it stays colourful for weeks after Christmas. It's the safest pick for a coworker, a teacher, a neighbour or anyone who isn't sure they can keep flowers alive. It also suits businesses, since one plant brightens a reception desk all month.
Choose an arrangement to make a bigger impression
A designed Christmas arrangement brings together fresh roses, carnations and seasonal greens like pine and cedar in a ready-to-display container. It feels more personal and more luxurious than a plant, which makes it our top pick for Mom, a partner, or a friend you really want to spoil. Arrangements also work well as a thank you for someone who hosted you over the holidays.
Choose a centerpiece for the holiday table
A centerpiece is designed specifically for the dining table. It's low enough to talk ove r, shaped to suit long or round tables, and often built with candles. Order one for your own Christmas dinner, or send one to the family member hosting this year. Delivery on December 22 or 23 gives it time to settle in before the big meal.
A few Lethbridge-specific tips
Southern Alberta winters bring dry air and big temperature swings. A mild chinook afternoon can turn bitter by evening, so every poinsettia should be wrapped for the trip home, no matter how nice it looks outside. Indoors, keep all Christmas flowers away from heat vents and fireplaces. Dry, forced-air heat is hard on fresh blooms and plants alike.
Still deciding?
Call or visit the shop and tell us who the flowers are for. Our florists will point you to the right option and design something that fits the person and the occasion.
