The holiday season is always full of fun and festivities, but it’s also one of the most stressful times of the year due to the long list of obligations you have to fulfil. One way to get some peace of mind, relieve stress, and spread joy to those around you during this merry time? Ordering flowers online and sending them across town or across the country! Flowers are perfect for spreading the Christmas spirit and making people feel extra special this holiday season, so here’s some information about how and when to send Xmas flowers by post.
People started sending flowers to their loved ones for Christmas around the late 1800s. Initially, people would send wreaths and posies in lieu of trees and other decorations. The Victorian era brought an increase in live plants being sent as gifts. Popular choices were roses, camellias, orchids, and lilies-of-the-valley. Gift deliveries for Christmas were first sent by ship or train beginning in the early 1900s.
The best way to send Xmas flowers is through a reputable flower shop. Flowers play an important role in Christmas traditions throughout many countries around the world. Sending live plants, wreaths, and arrangements are commonly sent during Christmas and Hanukkah seasons. The most popular choice are poinsettias, amaryllis, lilies-of-the-valley, orchids, alstroemeria and tulips.
Originally, roses were a symbol of hope and later became associated with love and passion. A popular flower for decorating homes in Victorian times, roses were always at the centre of any floral arrangements. Christmas bouquets in the Victorian era included both roses and evergreens, such as holly and pine branches, with ribbon bows around them. People would give these bouquets to family members living away from home during this time as a reminder that they are thinking about them at Christmas time.
Many people believe that flowers are best because they require a little more thought and effort in order to buy than just a box of chocolates. Plus, not everyone has a sweet tooth and would prefer something with a little more substance to it. But what about those who can't resist the indulgence that is chocolate? Believe it or not, even though we like chocolate just as much as you do, there's a place for everyone at the table.
