It’s amazing that 2016 is nearly over, but here we are – looking forward to the new year and ready to take on all that it has to offer. There is something inherently exciting about this time – we have a blank calendar stretching out in front of us, representing endless possibility. If you have been invited to a New Year’s Eve party or are decorating for your own, festive arrangements and bouquets from Boyd’s Flowers in Wilmington are the perfect choice for celebratory decor.

White flowers of all kinds represent new beginnings and a fresh slate. New Year’s Eve flowers often include white roses, lilies, hydrangea, and carnations. But it is the glitz and bling that truly makes these florals special.

The shimmer and shine of the holidays carries through to these bouquets – think metallic vases, gold and silver foliage and decorative embellishments. Winter elements such as frosted pine cones, evergreens and berries are still appropriate, and splashes of jewel tones keep the celebration going.

This Year, Resolve Something Different: Resolutions are a tradition as old as civilization. Ancient cultures made promises to the gods to appease them, and Romans did the same. Their commitments included returning items they had borrowed or stolen and forgiving debts. Modern resolutions often include some form of self-improvement, although experts tell us that only 12% of people follow through with their January 1 promises. That’s why we propose a different type of resolution in 2017. Resolve to show your love and affection to your family and friends more often. Tell them how special they are – and start with a beautiful bouquet of flowers!

As a hostess gift or to brighten up your New Year’s Eve party, floral designs from Boyd’s Flowers are the perfect accompaniment to your holiday festivities. Give as a gift or treat yourself, and get the year off to a beautiful start.
