We offer flower delivery in Ottawa to make your floral gifting as seamless as it is thoughtful.
Let’s dive into this season’s floral magic and help you find the perfect arrangement for every personality, occasion, and celebration.
2025: A Year of Floral Innovation and Connection
As we head into the new year, we’re bringing even more creativity, artistry, and personalization to our floral designs. Whether you’re planning a wedding, hosting
gatherings, or simply looking to celebrate life’s everyday moments, flowers have the power to elevate every experience. For 2025, we’re focusing on designs that reflect individuality, embrace natural beauty, and incorporate unexpected elements like dried accents, luxurious textures, and seasonal foliage.
This year, let’s make every floral arrangement a moment of connection—a way to say "I see you, and I care."
Hosting Made Beautiful: Flowers for Winter Gatherings
Hosting a winter get-together? Nothing transforms a space quite like flowers. Our Winter Collection features arrangements perfect for every kind of party:
- Cozy Dinners: The Hearth and Earth Centerpiece, with its earthy tones and warm candle, sets the mood for intimate dinners.
- Festive Celebrations: The Winter Fairytale Centerpiece adds a touch of whimsy and magic to holiday tables.
- Grand Gatherings: The Holiday Luxe Flower Box, with its opulent red roses and golden accents, makes a dramatic statement.
Flowers do more than look beautiful—they create ambiance, spark conversation, and make guests feel welcome. Add some festive music, warm drinks, and twinkling lights, and you’re all set for a party to remember.
The Secret Stars of Winter: Foliage and Greens
Winter arrangements wouldn’t be complete without the unsung heroes of floral design: winter foliage. These lush greens are the backbone of many designs, bringing texture, depth, and that unmistakable seasonal aroma. Here are some of the greens we love:
- Pine and Cedar: Soft, fragrant, and quintessentially winter, these greens bring the outdoors in.
- Eucalyptus: Known for its soothing scent and elegant silvery tone, eucalyptus adds sophistication to any arrangement.
- Magnolia Leaves: Their glossy green tops and velvety brown undersides bring both texture and color contrast.
- Juniper Sprigs: With their delicate needles and tiny berries, juniper adds a festive touch.
- Boxwood: This dense, classic greenery is perfect for creating clean lines and structure in wreaths and arrangements.
Winter’s Seasonal Flowers: A Celebration of Beauty
Seasonal flowers bring their own magic to winter arrangements. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Amaryllis: Bold, dramatic, and available in rich reds and creamy whites, these blooms are showstoppers in any design.
- Roses: A classic for a reason. In winter, we love them in deep reds, snowy whites, and soft blush tones.
- Anemones: Their dark centers and delicate petals bring a modern, striking look to arrangements.
- Hydrangeas: Lush and voluminous, they add a soft, cloud-like texture.
- Ranunculus: With their layered petals and vibrant colors, these flowers are perfect for adding romance and charm.
- Cymbidium Orchids: Exotic and elegant, these blooms are ideal for luxurious winter designs.
These flowers, combined with winter foliage, create the perfect balance of beauty,
texture, and elegance.
The Little Extras That Make All the Difference
At Nectar Flowers Ottawa, we believe the magic is in the details. That’s why we incorporate thoughtful extras to make each arrangement truly special:
- Dried Oranges: Hand-dried in-house, these add a rustic, seasonal touch with their warm tones and subtle citrus aroma.
- Real Cinnamon Sticks: These bring warmth, texture, and a hint of cozy spice.
- Pinecones: Natural and versatile, they add a woodland charm to wreaths and centerpieces.
- Ornaments: From shimmering golds to soft silvers, ornaments give a festive flair to arrangements.
- Bows and Ribbons: Our signature velvet ribbons and carefully tied bows elevate every design with a luxurious finish.
These elements aren’t just decorations—they’re the details that make our arrangements unforgettable.
