When the holidays arrive, every detail becomes part of the story. Every detail works together to create that feeling of warmth and wonder. For us, florals are at the heart of it all. They’re not just decoration. They’re the emotion, the movement, the life of the space.

At Kim Starr Wise Floral Events, we see holiday florals as an opportunity to design experiences that feel both elevated and deeply personal. Every arrangement begins with a question: What do you want this celebration to feel like? Cozy and nostalgic? Vibrant and modern? Luxe and dramatic? Once we understand the mood, we translate it through color, texture, and form.

Florals Set the Scene

The right florals can completely transform the atmosphere of a room. For a dinner that feels rich and intimate, we love the drama of deep reds and burgundy tones: amaryllis, ranunculus, and velvety roses layered with winter greenery. For something more ethereal, we could pull in neutral blooms with champagne accents, soft candlelight, and subtle gold details.

Florals ground your design and tell your story without saying a word. They connect the visual to the emotional, making every moment, from the first toast to the last guest’s goodbye, feel intentional and unforgettable.

Nature’s Palette for the Season

We’re always inspired by nature’s textures and tones, but we never limit ourselves to traditional holiday palettes. The season offers so much more. Think bold jewel tones paired with unexpected touches: emerald and plum with copper, winter whites layered with sage and blush, or a pop of burnt orange against magnolia leaves.

We also love mixing in elements that bring warmth and texture. Dried citrus, berries, branches, feathers, or velvet ribbon, the key is always layering. By combining natural and luxurious materials, each arrangement feels timeless yet fresh, a reflection of both the season and the personality of the space it lives in.

3 Ways We Elevate Holiday Florals

Play with Scale. We love the drama of tall, architectural arrangements paired with low, textured pieces, It creates movement and balance across a room.

Mix Textures. Smooth orchids against ruffled ranunculus, matte greenery beside glossy magnolia. Contrasts make arrangements feel alive.

Think Beyond the Table. Florals don’t have to stop at the centerpiece. Garlands on staircases, blooms woven into chandeliers, or unexpected touches in powder rooms extend the experience.

The Finishing Touch for Every Celebration

A great floral design should never just “fit in.” It should command attention, spark conversation, and bring warmth to every corner. Every stem, vessel, and placement choice is intentional and part of a bigger visual rhythm that brings your event to life.

Each arrangement we create is tailored to the tone of your event, your space, and your personal style. Our goal is always consistent: to design florals that feel alive, layered, and unforgettable.
