Christmas Floral Designs: Which to choose, when to buy or join us to make your own (2025 guide)

The festive season is well and truly underway at Pesh. Our gorgeous 2025 collection of Christmas wreaths has been designed and photographed ready for orders and our wreath and table centre making workshops at Dulwich College, South London, are booking up fast. Bags of pine cones, dried fruit, cinnamon sticks and velvet ribbons are filling the workshop and reminding me just how much I love this time of year as a florist! Whether you want to get creative and make your own Christmas arrangements or treat yourself to a home delivered design crafted by us, read on to find out how.

The beauty of Christmas wreaths and how to pick the right size and colour

There’s something about Christmas wreaths popping up on doors in early December that I find so heartwarming. Not only is it a beautiful sight that kickstarts all the festive feels, it also reminds me that Christmas is about community and togetherness. We want to make our houses look the part for ourselves but also to spread cheer to those around us. There’s nothing more special than walking down a street lined with Christmas door wreaths in different colours, textures and styles, each adding its own touch of festive charm.

But which colours and style would look best on your door? There’s no right or wrong here and it’s very much a question of personal taste. However, I would always advise to size up if you can. A small wreath on a large door tends to disappear, while a generously sized wreath creates instant impact. Whether or not to match your wreath to your door colour is another question I get asked and the answer is that both contrasting and tonal looks can be stunning.

Contrasting wreaths, e.g. red ribbons and rosehips on a green door or vibrant orange slices set against a blue door, instantly catch the eye.
Tonal, nature-inspired palettes – like soft greens and silvers on a sage door (as shown in the picture below), offer a timeless, elegant feel.

Luckily for you, whether you love bold festive colours, natural textures, or a soft Scandi-inspired palette, our 2025 Christmas wreath collection has been designed to suit every style of home…

Introducing our 2025 luxury Christmas wreath collection

Bold and Beautiful – Traditional Christmas Wreath with Fruits and Berries

Our Bold and Beautiful Christmas wreath is a rich, festive take on a timeless classic with a Pesh twist. Packed with dried oranges, limes, pine cones, cinnamon sticks, berries and delicate dried flowers, it offers layers of colour and texture. A sumptuous red velvet ribbon finishes the look and brings instant traditional Christmas charm.

Wild and Whimsical – Graceful Christmas Wreath with Pink Tones

Soft, romantic and inspired by Christmas ballet, our Wild and Whimsical Christmas wreath features a gorgeous blush palette. Frothy pink heather, peppercorns, eucalyptus pods and pine cones come together to create a beautifully textured design. Clusters of dried limes add a bright, zesty contrast for a magical finish.

Simply Stylish – Minimalist Natural Christmas Wreath

For lovers of clean, pared back décor, Simply Stylish brings a refined, modern twist. This muted minimalist wreath combines heather, eucalyptus pods, Spanish moss, old man’s beard, helichrysum and a soft tonal velvet ribbon. Subtle, elegant and full of organic texture, it’s perfect for understated festive styling.

Christmas Carol – Rustic, Wild Christmas Wreath

Our Christmas Carol wreath sings with crab apples, rosehips, bracken, old man’s beard and clusters of pine cones. This one is for those who love an unstructured, wild and foraged feel and would look stunning against a rustic or period door.

All of our wreaths are made to order and use a wide range of winter foliage to achieve our signature natural and abundant style. Ribbon colours can be swapped and the decorations tweaked so just let us kn0w if you’d like any changes when you order. To ensure your wreath lasts throughout the festive period, it’s best to request delivery from early December onwards. We deliver our luxury Christmas wreaths throughout London and north Kent and Surrey so do get in touch if you’d like us to spruce up your door this festive season.

But it’s not just door wreaths to think about…

As I talked about in my last Christmas blog – Step into Christmas – evergreens and berries inside the home have been popular at Christmas time for centuries. The days may be short and hats and gloves needed outside, but Christmas is the time to celebrate Winter in all her glory by bringing nature indoors where it’s cosy and warm! There are plenty of options to add a Christmas floral flourish – you could choose a stair garland or mantlepiece display to wow your guests and add opulence to festive gatherings, or a table arrangement packed with berries and fresh flowers to make Christmas lunch feel truly decadent. We are taking orders for all of the above so do get in touch if you’d like us to deliver a festive arrangement in time for the big day or help with styling for Christmas inside your home.

Wreaths, mantlepieces and table arrangements can be ordered directly from the Christmas shop on our website – peshflowers.co.uk/product-category/christmas

If you’re reading this and thinking – I’d like to have a go at creating my own Christmas designs – then we would absolutely love to show you how! We have two classes running at the beautiful and historic Dulwich College in South London on Thursday 4^th and 18^thDecember, 7 – 9pm.

It’s the perfect early Christmas present for anyone who loves a creative escape and the gift keeps on giving when they go home with a stunning design to enjoy throughout the festive season.
