Description
This artificial Christmas bouquet has the loose, gathered look of stems picked on a winter walk. Large white trumpet-shaped blooms and a closed bud sit at its heart, surrounded by long, fine pine needles, feathery fronds, small cones, frosted leaves and clusters of small white berries, with the stems bound together by a length of twine. It stands 105cm tall and spreads 40cm across, so it reads as a generous armful rather than a posy, yet it weighs just 0.45KG. It is made from polyethylene, polyester, polystyrene, iron and paper, with a colour-dyed finish.
Its height suits a tall floor vase in a hallway, a wide vase on a sideboard or a large vessel beside the fireplace, anywhere the long stems have room to show. As an artificial bouquet it needs no water, so it can go up at the start of December and stay in place until the decorations come down, which suits a busy household or a holiday let. The white blooms sit happily with most schemes, from pale Scandinavian rooms to deep painted walls, and the bouquet makes a thoughtful gift for someone who loves winter flowers without the upkeep.
Before you display it, the stems need trimming to suit your vase and folding into place, so set aside a few minutes to shape the bouquet: bend the branches outwards, settle the blooms where you want them and let the berries fill the gaps. The leaves and flowerheads can break if handled roughly, so arrange it gently and take the same care when you pack it away after Christmas. For the fullest look, fan the pine needles wide, tip the blooms slightly forward and stand the vase where it is seen from the front, against a wall or at the foot of the stairs.

Frequently Asked
Is this a real or an artificial bouquet?
It is fully artificial, made from polyethylene, polyester, polystyrene, iron and paper with a colour-dyed finish, so it needs no water in the vase.
How big is the bouquet?
It is 105cm tall and 40cm across, which makes it a generous arrangement best suited to a tall floor vase or a large vessel with room for the long stems.
Do I need to do anything before I put it in a vase?
Yes. Before use, the stems need to be trimmed to suit your vase and folded into place so the blooms and branches sit as you want them.
How should I look after it?
Handle it with care, as the leaves and flowerheads can break if bent roughly. Take the same care when arranging it and when packing it away after the festive season.
How heavy is it?
The bouquet weighs 0.45KG, so it is easy to lift, reshape and move between rooms, and it will not weigh down a vase on a sideboard or shelf.
