hi it's Lind Diane from Dian decor.com
0:04
in this video we're going to talk all
0:06
about the best faux florals and stems to
0:10
use in your home to decorate after the
0:13
Christmas season decorating after
0:15
Christmas can be a little bit tricky
0:17
because a lot of times we think of
0:19
winter and holidays synonymously and so
0:23
once all of that holiday Decor comes
0:25
down we're left with a really empty
0:27
blank slate and it's not quite time to
0:30
jump into spring Decor yet but you still
0:33
want to have something out you don't
0:34
want your house to be completely bare
0:36
and so this is where some of the winter
0:39
florals and Stems come into play so
0:43
we're going to go through what to swap
0:45
out from your holiday Decor to winter so
0:48
that you have a nice refreshed paired
0:51
down look for the rest of the winter
0:53
months let's get started tip number one
0:57
is to swap out any of your flocked or
1:00
glitter florals and stems for something
1:03
that's either frosted or dusted now when
1:07
you are shopping online in particular
1:09
for some of your stems and uh floral
1:13
piics and things like that to fill your
1:15
vases you want to pay attention to the
1:19
description a flocked stem is something
1:22
that's going to have a chunkier faux
1:26
snow attached to it a glittered is going
1:30
to be just that it's using glitter to
1:32
give you sort of a shimmery finish this
1:34
is what we see filled in Dollar Tree and
1:38
Dollar General and Michaels and all of
1:40
the craft stores during Christmas time
1:42
you see lots of glitter and lots of
1:44
flocked items but in the wintertime post
1:48
holiday you want to kind of dial that
1:50
back a little bit you know we can get
1:52
away with snow inside during Christmas
1:55
time but usually extend it out into
1:58
January February it's it's a little bit
2:01
off to have flocked or fake snow inside
2:05
your home and so this is the time to
2:08
transition to something that is frosted
2:10
or dusted so these are going to be stems
2:15
that have a very light sort of powdery
2:19
covering to them they will almost feel
2:22
velvety now you can find dusted or
2:25
frosted florals any place that you would
2:28
find flocked or glitter florals it's
2:29
doesn't really matter where you purchase
2:31
them from just know that your coating on
2:35
the outside of those leaves or branches
2:37
is going to be a little bit more subtle
2:39
and that's really what you want to go
2:41
for in the new year and in the winter
2:43
season post holiday you want something
2:46
that's a little bit more subtle it still
2:48
mimics the look of Outdoors right
2:50
because that's what we're going to see
2:51
it's going to be colder weather you're
2:53
going to see a little frost on the grass
2:55
in the morning you may see snow but
2:57
again you're not going to see snow
2:59
inside so it's better to go for
3:01
something that has that frosted look now
3:04
the other thing about the Frosted and
3:07
dusted stems and florals is that you
3:11
usually are not going to see those in a
3:13
bright spring green color that tone of
3:17
green is something that you want to shy
3:19
away from in the winter months and then
3:21
bring out during the Spring you're going
3:23
to see a more muted green color so think
3:26
about like Sage or you might see a deep
3:28
deep green like an green but you're not
3:31
going to see a super bright spring green
3:34
so when you're swapping out the stems
3:37
and piics in your vases go for something
3:40
that is either frosted or dusted post
3:43
holiday season tip number two is to swap
3:46
out your florals or buds for berries now
3:51
we don't see a lot of floral blooms in
3:54
the winter time and so this makes it the
3:56
perfect time to intersperse B
4:00
with your Greenery picks this is
4:03
something that you're going to find in
4:04
abundance during the winter season you
4:07
can go for something that's cream or
4:09
white berries with your toned down Green
4:13
pics or you could even do a blue if you
4:15
wanted to you could do red although it
4:17
may lean a little bit Christmas but
4:19
that's fine as well you're going to see
4:21
a lot of these little pit berries and
4:24
things like that during this season on
4:27
sale whether it's at Michael or online
4:30
on Amazon you'll see lots of stems that
4:34
have berries on them during the season
4:36
and they're great to pick up an easy way
4:38
to do this is if you have let's say uh
4:42
point cetas that you have been featuring
4:45
around your home during Christmas time
4:47
go ahead and swap those out for maybe
4:50
some cream berries or maybe uh pick with
4:53
some a dusted mistletoe with some cream
4:56
berries on it and you will have a really
4:59
great pair back look for the
5:01
winter and tip number three is to swap
5:04
out your Pine and fur stems for Cedar
5:09
eucalyptus Lamb's Ear or dusty miller by
5:13
doing this you're not only swapping out
5:17
a rich deep green color for something a
5:20
little bit more light and pale but
5:23
you're also swapping out stems that are
5:26
very structural for ones that are a
5:30
little bit more Whimsical and have a
5:32
little more give and bend to them so
5:35
your Pine think of pine stems or even
5:38
your Pine Christmas tree your faux Pine
5:40
Christmas tree the stems are very rigid
5:44
you know they are not something that's
5:47
really flowing with the breeze or
5:48
anything like that but a Lambs Ear or
5:52
eucalyptus is a little bit more viny
5:55
it's a little bit more delicate and
5:57
flowy and this is a great great look for
6:00
the winter time going into the spring so
6:03
if you have pine or fur stems in your
6:08
vases right now think about something
6:10
like a cedar stem or again lambier
6:15
eukalyptus or even dusty miller again
6:19
you can intersperse these with some
6:21
berries and have a really beautiful
6:23
display for your entryway table for
6:27
maybe your bathroom countertop top for a
6:30
centerpiece on a coffee table or a
6:32
dining table wherever you like to put
6:35
some little faux florals think about
6:37
using these types of stems over the ones
6:41
that you're using during the Christmas
6:42
time again you're not going to see a lot
6:45
of florals and buds during this time
6:49
instead you're going to see berries so
6:51
mix in those Greenery stems with some
6:54
berries and it will look fantastic
6:57
that's it for this video I hope you
