a warm welcome

After staying home for the past 9 months, we’re getting ready for more with the holidays upon us and winter creeping in. What better way to add a warm welcome to your front entryway than with fresh winter greenery?

Whether you want to browse our outdoor holiday decor gallery, or stop by the shop to pick up some branches and cones, Les Fleurs is here to help!

Window boxes are not just for spring and summer! Fill them with an assortment of branches, berries and cones for a fresh addition to your outdoor decor.

a wreath on every door

Besides the typical front door wreath, we love hanging smaller wreaths on windows indoors. Start with a simple balsam, fir or grapevine wreath and add texture with cedar and juniper branches, eucalyptus and magnolia leaves, pinecones and berries.

garland

There’s nothing like the smell of fresh garland strung around porch columns, bannisters and trees. Call or stop by the shop to see what varieties of fresh garland we have available.

outdoor planters

Keep those outdoor pots and urns alive during the winter with a mix of fresh branches, leaves, pods, sticks and berries. Compliment your color scheme with warm shades of green, red and brown, or cool tones of silvery green and white.

While it’s nice to come home to fresh greenery and a festive decor in the winter months, what’s most important is sharing time with loved ones.

Whether you have a small gathering at home or connect virtually with family and friends, we wish you a joyful and healthy holiday season.

The Fleurettes
