Containers

Greens and reds are given options, but there are other containers that prove essential for the holidays.

The Christmas season is surrounded by giving, glitz and glam and all things magical. Consider gold when buying containers for your holiday arrangements.

Forced bulbs such as paperwhite narcissus, tulips and amaryllis may be the alternative floral choice for more modern designs.
