If you are done with the spring cleaning and your home is spotless, it’s time you start working on the CNY flower decoration part. Decorations play a massive role in the festive season to ensure that your home attracts good energy and prosperity. Chinese New Year epitomizes doing away with the old year and celebrating a new beginning to usher in fortune, good health, and prosperity. If you want to celebrate the CNY with spectacular flower decorations, here are some ideas to start with.
#1 Don’t forget the timeless details
If you are celebrating Chinese New Year, the thumb rule is you cannot forget the traditional elements. You can start by getting the straight and curly versions of the fortune bamboo. Flowers like Marigolds, Kalanchoe, Azaleas, Cockscomb, etc. can be an excellent way to add a touch of legacy and tradition to any flower arrangement. In addition to the hanging red lanterns that are believed to ward off bad luck and serve as a lucky charm, you can also mix some characters with classic flowers.
#2 Always go for a variety
There is a Chinese proverb that translates to: “when flowers bloom, they bring in good fortune and prosperity with them.” Blooming flowers are considered auspicious in Chinese culture and you can get some popular blooming flowers such as orchids, pussy willows, peonies, plum and peach blossoms, etc. to add vibrance to your space. Just keep the white and cream flowers at bay as they are typically used for funerals and ensure to add a touch of greenery with plants such as lucky bamboo, money plant and jade plant.
#3 Red for the win
If you have ever celebrated Chinese New Year, you probably already know how ubiquitous the red colour is considered in the CNY season. If you don’t have the time or budget to get everything red or renovate your space, you can always revitalize your home with red flowers and lanterns that complement your festive decoration.
#4 Table arrangements
If you are hosting a feast at your home during the Chinese New Year or have some of your close friends and family coming to your home, your dining table is going to be the focal point of your home. Often table arrangements are overlooked. However, if you want a table setting to be nicely put together with delectable food, then get beautiful flower arrangements that will be appreciated by all your guests.
#5 A touch of gold
Just like red, gold is also considered auspicious. So, you can also add a touch of gold along with your pots, planters, and flowers to brighten up your space and bring good luck into your home during the Chinese New Year.
