The ultimate smell of Christmas. You can decorate your tree with dried florals from winter floral arrangements you’ve received throughout the season. The first step is to get some floral bouquets to decorate your tree with. New York City florist Lucy’s Flowers has a floral shop that offers an assortment of boutique flowers. She offers same day flowers so you can enjoy these flowers ASAP and then decorate the time Christmas comes around. If you want dried flowers try the Antique White arrangement. It consists of beautifully dried blossoms that can be placed anywhere in the home or in your tree. Or if you prefer to wait and enjoy some fresh flowers, Winter Love is for you. This bouquet offers an icy-tone allure with ivory shades of White Tibet Roses and Yellow Ranunculus. Foliage of Dusty Miller Leaf and black berries add a touch of sophistication that completes this floral arrangement. For those who prefer a little more color, may I suggest the Warm Sensations. This ravishing bouquet includes succulents, lilies, roses, and anthuriums with accents of berries and greenery. Warm Sensations is sure to warm you up this holiday season with its beauty. Once your bouquets dry out you can start decorating your Christmas tree! Take your dried flowers and carefully separate them into mini bouquets of 3-5 flowers. Tether them together with twine for a rustic look or satin ribbon for a refined approach. Trim the stems if needed. Place in the desired location in your evergreen tree. Add some dried citrus, such as lemons or oranges, to add a fresh scent and pop of color to your tree. After that, enjoy your chic naturally decorated tree.
