What are some types of flowers used in victorian arrangements?

I was asked to make centerpieces and some tessy messys for a Christmas Victorian tea our local library is having. I have looked up a lot about victorian floral arrangements but im trying to think of creative things to put in the arrangement. I have a few ideas like holly, gold spray-painted pine cones & twigs, evergreen.
My colors are red, gold and silver.

So do you have any suggestions to what i could put in the arrangement or something very victorian i could incorporate?

Thanks so much for your help!

    * roses would be appropriate
    and * for the (Tussie-Mussies…the way I learned the spelling) you could use some little carnations in different colors with some tiny white flowers and greens
