There is no doubt that Tet Festival (Vietnamese New Year) is the biggest festival in Vietnam. During this celebration, the country is filled with colorful flowers, lights and decorations which bring Tet atmosphere to Vietnamese people. The government is responsible for making the streets, public places as stunning as possible. Staffs decorate offices, restaurants, shopping centers, coffee shops, hotels beautifully.

Decoration items are abundant at supermarkets, markets, decoration stores in the country. The followings are Top 10 Decorations at Vietnamese Tet Festival.

Lots of researchers have tried to explain why a large percentage of people in the world love flowers. Flowers, plants and trees are must things at Tet Festival because they give a new life to your place. Fresh flowers add colors and sweet smells to the place while plants and trees usually make the place green. Artificial flowers are choices of many people because they can be used many times and there is no need to take care of them.

The most favorite flowers include golden apricot blossoms (Hoa mai) in South Vietnam, peach blossoms (Hoa đào) in North Vietnam. These flowers represent happiness, luckiness and wealth. Artificial golden apricot blossoms and peach blossoms are popular because fresh flowers last about a week and the cost of fresh branches and trees with blossoms is rather high. Branches with flowers are arranged in high vases on ancestral altars and tables while trees that are full of apricot flowers or peach flowers are arranged in living rooms or outside houses. The branches and trees are usually decorated with decorative strings and red pockets which will be mentioned later.

Orchids are considered elegant flowers in Vietnam. They have good meanings and symbolize luckiness. Phalaenopsis (Lan hồ điệp) is one of the most expensive, beautiful and favorite orchids used to decorate houses and other places at Tet festival. Most of the Vietnamese like to arrange pots of Phalaenopsis in their houses, some people prefer artificial Phalaenopsis.

Tagetes (Hoa vạn thọ) literally meaning "longevity flower" is also one of the most popular flowers thanks to its good meaning, pretty yellow or orange color. The flower is the symbol of longevity and health.

Chrysanthemum morifolium (Cúc mâm xôi) literally meaning "tray of steamed sticky rice daisy" is usually in yellow color - a favorite color at Tet festival. It represents the abundance in food and money .

Dracaena fragrans (Thiết mộc lan or Phát tài) literally means "be prosperous" represent prosperity.

Some trees such as kumquat trees (Cây tắc) have countless yellow or orange fruits which represent the abundance in food and money.
