Introducing Christmas and Thanksgiving 2019 at Neill Strain Floral Couture

November is not too early to be thinking about Christmas. Neill’s Belgravia boutique is already dressed for the occasion. As he introduces us to his designs and inspirations for Christmas and Thanksgiving 2019, the Irish-born floral designer explains the many different home styling services he and his talented team of floral designers are offering to help you plan and achieve your dream decor for this holiday season.

I am always delighted to present our Christmas Collection. We dress the Belgravia boutique for Christmas at the beginning of November and from then on all the fun and excitement of the season unfolds. Our 2019 style is gorgeously glamorous, bright and beautiful, with a mix of gem and jewel colours in the tones of the precious stones: emerald green, ruby red, amethyst purple, amber, sapphire blue and gold.

Gold Emerald Green Ruby Red Amethyst Purple Amber Sapphire Blue

Let’s start with Gold, the richest of tones for Christmas. Gold reflects the twinkling of candles and creates a wonderfully warm atmosphere in your home. You can mix gold with white, red, green or almost any other colour to complement your interiors.

Emerald green is the essence of Christmas. The Christmas tree, the wreaths, garlands along the mantelpiece and table decorations have a base of fir or pine which also fills your home with the wonderful fragrance of the season. It is a natural and soothing colour that blends well with any interiors. I spend many days in the Christmas Tree farms selecting the trees for my clients and I’ve experienced that green is an absolute “feel good” colour. Of course, green marries beautifully with white, red and almost any other colour too.

Ruby red is the classic, traditional Christmas colour. We have many red designs on our online service and bespoke arrangements at the boutique and at the Harrrods concession as red is a favourite with clients. A home filled with opulent ruby red designs for Christmas is an absolute show-stopper.

Purple, the colour of the precious stone Amethyst is a personal favourite of mine. This royal colour is incredibly rich and when the interiors lend themselves to this colour palette the result is exceptional.

Derived from fossilised tree resin, Amber evokes the colour of the Czars and has been appreciated for its natural glowing beauty since ancient times. It’s yellow and orange hues give an uplifting look to our Belgravia boutique display and enhance the most exquisite Christmas designs.

Sapphire and different shades of blue are an on trend colour for 2019. We have always loved this colour in Belgravia. It works beautifully in many clients’ homes and I often like a turquoise blue in my own home. How do you like these?
