When a snow day comes, it can be easy to stay inside by the fire with a good book or movie. However, getting some fresh air and exercise is important too! Bundle up in your warm clothes, hat, mittens, and boots. Grab your snow gear and head outside to play. Make snow angels, build a snowman, or have a snowball fight. The cold fresh air is invigorating.
After coming inside all rosy-cheeked, nothing warms you up quite like a bright bouquet of fresh flowers. Even on the coldest of days, flowers can lift your spirits and make you feel cozy and happy. The pretty blooms are a lovely way to celebrate a winter snow day.
Here are some bouquet ideas using easy-to-find winter flowers from local flower shops in Glencoe MN that will add color and cheer to any home.
Snowdrop Blossoms
Snowdrops are one of the earliest flowering plants of winter. Their petite white bell-shaped blooms peeking through the snow are a sure sign of spring to come. Their delicate beauty makes them perfect in small clusters in a vase. Try mixing snowdrops with shades of pink baby’s breath or purple miniature pansies for a naturally pretty look.
Hellebore Blooms
Hellebores, also known as Christmas or Lenten roses, flower from late winter through early spring. Their colorful blooms of white, pink, red, or green come in cup or saucer shapes. Its different varieties have interesting dotted or veined patterns on the petals also. Hellebores look lovely paired with eucalyptus branches, variegated pine, or curly willow branches.
Winter Daffodils
Winter daffodils, also called narcissus, are one of the earliest blooming bulbs of the season and are available at most florists in Waconia MN. They come in many shades including white, yellow, orange, and pink. Daffodils have a cheerful and sunny disposition that lifts the spirits on even cloudy days. Combine different colored clusters in a round vase for an easy and cheerful arrangement.
Purple Crocus
Crocuses are considered one of the hardiest flowering plants, blooming in very early spring through late winter. Purple crocus has dainty lilac to lavender blooms on short stems. Mix a handful into a bouquet with moss or ferns for a naturally whimsical look. Their vibrant color stands out against a blanket of snow.
Christmas Tree Sprigs
Bring a bit of the festive forest indoors by including fragrant sprigs from your Christmas tree. The pine, spruce, or fir needles have an appealing woody aroma. Tuck short clipped branches among berries, eucalyptus, or curly willow for winter holiday flair.
Paperwhites
Paperwhites are a classic first blooming bulb commonly given as Christmas gifts. Their spicy scent fills the room as their white star-shaped blooms emerge. You can keep paperwhites in a glass vase with pebbles and water or group them simply in a low hurricane vase.
