Spruce Up Your Space: Planning Your Holiday Containers with Bloom Culture

Whether you’re in Calgary or beyond, our multidivisional flora design studio is your destination for early inspiration, expert tips, and all the materials you need to make your holiday décor spectacular.
Discover the Perfect Greens:
Selecting the right greens is crucial for creating beautiful holiday containers. At Bloom Culture, we offer a handpicked selection of the freshest, most vibrant greens. Whether you prefer the soft, textured look of cedar foliage, the timeless elegance of pine, or the sturdiness of silver fir, we’ve got you covered. You can also add a touch of Southern charm with magnolia or explore the natural beauty of oregonia, boxwood, and eucalyptus. Our diverse palette ensures you can mix and match to create something truly unique for your space.
Expert Tips for Arranging Your Greens:
Once you've gathered your greens, it’s time to craft your arrangement. Here are some pro tips from our seasoned experts:
Abundance is Key: To ensure a full and balanced look, you’ll want to have plenty of greens on hand. We recommend starting with 3-4 bundles of different greenery types. This allows you to experiment with shapes and ensure your container looks lush and vibrant.
Layer for Depth and Texture: Combine different types of greenery to create depth. Pair feathery pine or cedar with the glossy leaves of magnolia, or mix eucalyptus with sturdy fir branches. The variety of textures adds dimension and visual interest.
Mind the Proportions: The size of your arrangement should complement its environment. For larger outdoor spaces, go bold with grand designs, while smaller containers are ideal for cozy, intimate corners indoors.
Fill with Foliage: Use oregonia and boxwood as fillers to ensure every nook and cranny is lush and full. These greens provide a beautiful backdrop for any decorative accents you add later.
Add Whimsical Accents: Elevate your arrangement with finishing touches like pine cones, red berries, or even twinkling fairy lights. These simple additions add charm and give your container a festive, personalized flair.
