Tis the season to decorate! Do you go crazy with decorations for the holidays? I love the time from Thanksgiving through the end of the year. All the lights as you drive through neighborhoods. Getting out all my decorations that have been hidden away for 11 months.
I never thought about adding live plants and flowers to my holiday decor. ProFlowers contacted me and asked if I’d like to try adding live plants and flowers and take photos to share with you.
ProFlowers Delivers to Your Doorstep
One of the best features of ProFlowers and ProPlants is the delivery. I didn’t have to drive all over town finding the flowers and plants, they were delivered to my doorstep. First I got two boxes from ProFlowers.
And then more boxes from ProPlants arrived.
Each box comes with directions to be sure you get the longest life out of the live flowers and plants.
ProFlowers and ProPlants conducted a holiday survey and I’ll be sharing some of the interesting findings throughout this post.
Decorating for the Holidays With ProFlowers
Now the fun part….decorating my house with the live flowers and plants. I wanted flowers in my entrance so when guests arrive, they will immediate see live flowers.
I was surprised that the holiday survey found that 39% of Americans who decorate for the holidays stick with the traditional red and green color scheme. I thought it would be much higher. Most of my holiday decorations are red, green and gold.
Holiday Dining Room Centerpiece
I added the candle and pine rectangle centerpiece to my dining room table. I love candles and adding the live plant around it just adds a rustic feel and makes the room feel cozy and comfortable.
59% of those who decorate for the holiday will add new decorations each year. We do that too. We always buy the kids new ornaments and I’ll buy new pieces when I see them in the store.
The small potted Christmas Rosemary is on my fireplace. Once we get our holiday decorations out, I’m going to add a few small ones to the tree to make it more festive.
80% of Americans add live holiday decorations each year. I guess I’m one of the few 20% who have never done it.
Holiday Wreath
No house would be decorated for the holidays without a wreath. And now I have to take back what I said. Some years we do have a live wreath, so I have decorated with live decor. I love the rustic look of this wreath with the different plants and pine cones. Its’ different from any other wreath we’ve had before.
52% of those who decorate with live flower and plants do it because of the smell. Nothing like the smell of Christmas trees to take you back to your childhood.
This small Countryside Charm centerpiece is on my kitchen table. We have a bit of holiday cheer each night with dinner.
ProFlowers works directly with the growers which because it’s less time from flower field to your doorstep. This means you get the freshest flowers possible!
And last, but not least, my fireplace mantle is decorated with the 10 lb box of boughs from ProPlants.
ProPlants works directly with the plant growers to get you the freshest plants and guarantees they will be fresh for 14 days.
The live flowers and plants have added a cozy feel to my home. Every time I walk past the flowers or centerpiece, it makes me happy.

Let’s Talk About Holiday Decorations
What colors are your holiday decorations? Do you decorate with live plants and flowers?
Disclosure: I received all the plants and flowers from ProFlowers and ProPlant in exchange for this review. No other compensation was received. All opinions are my own.
I like to decorate with paperwhites because they look festive and go with just about anything. Plus, I can generally keep bulbs alive easier than other plants!
I put a live wreath on the door and use greenery for my centerpiece.
My best tip is decided what your item will be and make it your main centrepiece. Much easier to decorate around the item rather than slotting it in last minute.
I can generally pick up leftover branches from the local tree lot to use for making decorations and wreaths.
We love to buy fresh flowers during the holiday season. It brings such a nice scent to the house, for when guest arrive for Christmas Eve.
Being a single dad with full custody of my daughter, I can’t find much time to decorate. We have a fake tree that we decorated and put a few holiday candles around the house. I keep it as simple as possible..
I love keeping it simple. Real flowers are always nice but I decorate the rims of my windows with fake flowers.
I don’t get much decorating done as I am a working mom and mother. We get the tree up, the stockings and maybe a wreath hung on Thanksgiving break. I go the deep red and hunter green with a touch of gold and sage.
Very pretty flowers and arrangements. I like to decorate with a mixture of fresh and fake. I esp like to use twigs from the tree in floral arrangements.
Make sure to keep small kids and pets away from live plants. Make sure you change the water often so they last longer.
When we get our Christmas Tree there are usually a few straggly long branches at the bottom, so we trim those off and arrange them on our mantel with candles and other decorations…it’s really pretty.
