The weather outside may be frightful, but is there anyone on the planet who doesn’t appreciate a first snowfall? Bare branches lined in white, banks and drifts undulating across yards and streets. It’s always a gorgeous sight, inspiring serenity and even awe. We here at Blossom Flower Shops think the impact has a lot to do with color; there’s nothing like winter’s sparkling, glittering, tranquil whites.

Which is why we offer designs that celebrate this scheme, which has more variety than you might think. There are so many shades of white, we’ve lost count, but we do know that to make a floral piece really stand out, there should be plenty of them used. We consider our Peace & Joy Arrangement a success in that department.

With whites, it’s all about texture, which you get from combining a variety of flowers together. Because of the simplicity of the color scheme (or lack thereof, more accurately), you can pair up blooms that wouldn’t necessarily work together in other shades. On the other hand, there’s nothing like a bunch of Winter White Lilies. These vivid, dynamic flowers look amazing when balanced by elegant greens.

Spend some time exploring winter’s white blooms this season. They’re an easy add to existing decor and a really fresh way to welcome in the New Year.
