Perhaps it’s the sudden drop in temperature or the glow of London’s recently illuminated Christmas lights but the yuletide spirit is starting to make a welcome return. The festive season has been well underway at McQueens Flowers for quite some time - as we plan 5* hotel displays months in advance and our wreath-making classes are all but fully subscribed! But it’s the reveal of our Christmas gift collection which really signals the holidays are just around, and we’re more than a little excited to share our festive florals. Spoil your loved ones and colleagues with these truly jaw-dropping bouquets to say thank you, happy birthday or of course a very, merry Christmas. Oh and read on for new (and delicious) addition for 2019...

Andrea Bassoli, Commercial Manager explains the design process behind the festive florals -

“We wanted to reference some of our favourite elements of the season - from roaring fires to the glitter of a morning frost. This year we are very excited to introduce a bouquet which features seasonal British botanicals from our new Cornish supplier, Tregothnan. There is very much a foraged and found theme running through the whole of the company as a tribute to our passion for sustainability”

Noelle

Crimson through to burgundy - red is a truly symbolic shade of the season. This bundle made up of spritely ilex berries, Naomi roses, zurigo carnations and pinecones conjures up the comforting warmth of one of our favourite winter pastimes - relaxing besides a crackling fireplace.

Winter Frost

Think crisp winter mornings, dappled sunlight, all bundled up and a brisk rural walk. Here lies the inspiration behind Winter Frost - a fresh and classic combination of Avalanche roses, white wax flowers and Coco Uno white hypericum berries.

The Christmas Spell

An ode to the romance and decadence of Christmas. Our master florists drew upon the most exquisite seasonal stems to create a design of fairytale proportions. A hue of soft pastels dreamily combine including pink-tinged mistral anemones, dusky Westminster Abbey roses, tutu-like Hanoi Kloony Ranunculus and the magic dust to finish? Ivory wax apples. Spellbinding.
