Updated: Jan 6

At Hiew, we take pride in curating exquisite floral arrangements that bring joy, beauty, and cultural significance to your celebrations. As we welcome the Lunar New Year, our collection of blooms is thoughtfully designed to honour tradition while adding elegance to your festive decor, connecting you to the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese New Year.


Orchids: The Epitome of graceful Elegance and Abundance Orchids are celebrated for their delicate beauty and association with refinement and abundance. In Chinese culture, orchids are symbols of fertility, virtue, and nobility. Their intricate patterns and balanced form embody elegance, making them popular for Chinese New Year decorations. Displaying orchids in your home or workspace enhances the environment and invites blessings of growth and prosperity for the year ahead.

Pussy Willow: A Symbol of Renewal and Growth

Pussy willow branches, with their soft, fluffy buds, are a quintessential Chinese New Year decoration. Representing the arrival of spring and the promise of growth, these branches are often arranged in tall vases to add height and dimension to festive decor. Their resilience and ability to thrive in early spring make them a fitting emblem of endurance and new beginnings. Many families also adorn pussy willow arrangements with red and gold ornaments to amplify the festive spirit and symbolism.

Decorating with Chinese New Year Blooms

Incorporating orchids and pussy willow into your Chinese New Year décor is an excellent way to honour tradition while adding a modern touch to your celebrations. Here are some tips for styling these blooms:


Orchid Arrangements: Place orchids in elegant pots or planters to create a focal point in your living room or dining area. Choose arrangements that highlight their natural beauty and complement your festive colour palette.


Pussy Willow Displays: Arrange pussy willow branches in tall, slender vases. Add decorative elements like red ribbons, gold coins, or miniature lanterns to reflect the joyous spirit of the season.


Pairing Blooms: Combine orchids and pussy willow with other seasonal decorations such as mandarin oranges, red envelopes, and traditional Chinese knots for a cohesive and auspicious display.


How to Maintain Your Flowers for Longevity

To keep your Chinese New Year flowers fresh and vibrant throughout the celebrations:


  1. Please place them in a well-lit area away from direct sunlight and drafts.

  2. Water orchids sparingly, ensuring their roots are not oversaturated.

  3. For pussy willow branches, change the water every few days to prevent stagnation.
