Sorry the hydrangea didn't work out! Beautiful idea though. And I absolutely love your wreaths with the roses! So pretty. You're giving me lots of ideas for decorating in France next Christmas 🎁
Love the arrangements. They’re just gorgeous! The whole chateau has come to life as a Christmas wonderland. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from PA, USA.
I find hydrangea die as soon as you get them in the house. But I heard you can get something at the florist to keep them lasting longer. So frustrating to do all that work and see it die. Hope you have a great Christmas❤️
Loving the rose garlands Karen, bringing the outside in, baubles looked brilliant the colour turned out gorgeous. Merry Christmas to you both and Family, may you have many Blessings in 2025 ❤🎉
Lovely job with the flowers. You made the chateau look beautiful. I would love to give you some tips for decorating with fresh flowers for next year, of course. Love your channel. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best there can be in 2025
Hydrangeas suck up A LOT of water. Soak them in water for a few hours before putting them into the vibes of water . After putting them in the viles you must keep them from going empty by checking them very often.
It all came together beautifully 👏👏 Wishing you all a successful, healthy New Year. Karen - what brand name is your big round eyeglasses...I love them! Thanks so much for your reply ❤
🍎Karen and Bo, Oh, we must not forget. About your video two weeks ago about Winter at your chateau: We made the most delicious hot cappuccino topped with double chocolate fudge ice cream and our triple dark chocolate brownies. Got in our red checkered Santa Claus pajamas, got ourselves cozy and comfortable and even felt as if though we were couch potatoes! We really thought we were going to see Mr Bojangles and Queen Karen The Second skating down the brand new pathway that is full of Winter Wonderland snow and icicles like at the North Pole and you guys are skating and dancing at the same time like they do at the ice skating Olympics! Even showing us your best backflips skating down from the chateau on the pathway that we thought was going to be full of ice or snow at least six to ten inches thick! Then we realized that you're going to give us an aerial view. That was charming, but we really thought we were going to see you guys skating on ice or snow on your arena in front of your chateau! Oh well, since you guys might think of finding an ice skating rink to practice on, like the ice skating Olympic people, we'll just have to wait until next year for the big surprise of you guys skating in front of your chateau. Just had to let you know you have a lot of time to practice ice skating! Ciao!🌴
🍎 Karen and Bo, Fabulous blue skies windy day! The reason why your flowers wilt besides needing more water, is mainly because they're used to being in the open air and I suppose your windows are closed and they're not getting enough oxygen. They especially don't like the smell of food as they're not used to it being in the open air. When we buy flowers, we put them in fresh water and leave them outside for an hour every day so they can last longer and they certainly last even longer with a sprinkle of sugar in the water. Everyone decorates their Christmas tree the way they want it, but if people decorate it with flowers that's not the Christmas colors, then it looks like a Mall's Christmas tree what it's going to look like in the future. A real Christmas tree should have the beautiful ornaments of red, blue, green, silver and gold and if you like those colors. If you should visit the North Pole and see Santa Clause's Christmas tree, then you will find his tree looks fabulous with the colors of Christmas with colorful tinsels and snow on the Christmas tree, even Pine cones whether they are big or small with a dash of snowflakes on the edge of them. To us, that is a fabulous beautiful Christmas tree! We buy a cotton snow blanket and pull it apart and put it here and there inside the Christmas tree and then it looks as if though the Christmas tree has snow on it. You can even cut a piece of the snow blanket and put it in front of your mantel where you're decorating and again, it looks like there's snow on top of the mantel. It won't melt and make a mess, but it looks just like snow! You can even use it on your dining room table around the centerpiece. You can also buy the snowflakes and sprinkle it on the piece of snow blanket. If you should buy it, make sure you get the white one, not the off white one. Cut pieces here and there as if though there is snow on the table. About your pink bow on the wreath, it's best to purchase the sturdy ribbon in the colors of Christmas and when you make your bow, it will stand up and doesn't look as if though it's wilted. The length of the bow shouldn't be more than 2 to 3 inches longer than the wreath, because then it's going to look like a veil that's too long. Because of the colors you chose to decorate your Christmas tree and mantel and dining room and the door, it looks like you were expecting to host a wedding or a fabulous birthday party. If you change the colors that doesn't fit with the occasion, then your decoration will definitely turn into that occasion that people like those colors for. The same thing goes for house plants, they need a window open here and there so they can get oxygen and be a lot healthier to live indoors. Got to go! Cheers to 2025!🥂 🎆🎇
Hi Karen, I’m looking into coffee makers and I really liked the one you bought for your guests. Can you please share the brand and model of it? I honestly can’t remember which vlog it was on… TIA

The live greenery with the roses is so pretty and elegant!
Beautiful
Karen all your decorations are lovely!Merry Christmas!
The roses are beautiful ❤
They have a crystal solution that is not expensive that will create forever flowers. Maybe next year. Lovely idea.
Hydrangea literally translated means 'water lover.' I would try recutting the stems and changing or adding water more often.
Love floral Xmas the flowers 💐 are beautiful ❤
Lovely
All the decorations are beautiful! Love the hydrangea (even if they need extra care) as well as the roses and greenery. Merry Christmas! ❤

Beautiful decorations Karen! Merry Christmas to you & your family!
when you refil the water tubes, you should also recut the rose stems.
Try using a wired ribbon and your Bose will be a lot better. I love the combination of the white and the pink.

Use a baggie full of water and rubber band attached to the steak ...next time use dried flowers
I put faux hydrangeas in my tree
Hi Karen,
I’m looking into coffee makers and I really liked the one you bought for your guests. Can you please share the brand and model of it? I honestly can’t remember which vlog it was on…
TIA
Your best bet is to go with artificial flowers i do my christmas tree in artificial white roses
You seem to like pale colors for Christmas. Is that a design thing or something you like yourself?
Next time use floral foam you can wet everyday.
I’ve always heard hydrangeas don’t make good cut flowers, sadly.
