For those who love to decorate for every Holiday, no matter if they celebrate it or not, the Chinese New Year can prove to be a vibrant and festive time. When decorating for the Chinese New Year, it is important to have living, blooming flowers. This helps to represent and symbolize new growth and rebirth.

When it comes to selecting flowers water lilies, peonies, narcissuses and azaleas are highly prized flowers for this celebration. For anyone decorating for this celebration, it would be a major oversight to not include any of these flowers in their decorations. Additionally, when selecting colors to use in decorations the most prominent colors of the Chinese New Year are that of red and gold. These colors represent happiness and wealth respectively.

For a truly natural decoration for this celebration the Chinese Lantern flower is often a popular choice. This type of flower gets its name from the fact that it resembles the Chinese lantern decoration. Not only does this flower make a great decoration, but it also can be a perfect gift. When given as a gift this flower symbolizes both happiness and good luck. When making a bouquet with this flower, additional flowers and foliage that is either a bright yellow or a deep burgundy can provide the perfect touch.

Other flowers that you can be used to decorate the house or can be given as a gift are lucky bamboo, sunflowers, and azalea bonsais. Many of these plants symbolize happiness, prosperity, and good luck.
