Christmas Flower Trends 2013: It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year… A Contemporary floral art Christmas inspired by the lyrics (with more than a little creative license, of course) of the Christmas song
It's the most inspirational time of the year
There'll be much twigs-a-gluing
And on glistening bouquets it will be snowing
When floral designers are near
It's the most glowing...
It’s the most inspirational time of the year!
“It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” was written in 1963 by Edward Pola and George Wyle

Artificial snow can be very "chemical" and flowers deteriorate quickly when exposed to it. It also dissolves in water. I use candle wax as "snow"
