Fresh Holiday Wreath Design

Flower Duet’s Pro­tea Wreath. Pho­to by Kit Wertz.

This hol­i­day month, we taught many fresh hol­i­day wreath design class­es. Here are a few designs from our Christ­mas wreath and hol­i­day Wreath-mak­ing class­es. Enjoy the vari­ety of designs all based on a noble fir wreath base. Pic­tured above and below are pro­tea stems along with hang­ing ama­ran­thus accent­ing the fir wreath base.

We added fresh flow­ers as stand-alone posies that would dry well like the sta­t­ice and clover accent below. We also showed stu­dents how to add a mini flo­ral spray to a wreath that would last through the hol­i­day month.

Tra­di­tion­al­ly, red and green make up Christ­mas col­ors. We used red ros­es, berries, and car­na­tions along with mixed ever­greens for this fun wreath design below.

Mag­no­lia wreaths are quite pop­u­lar in the south­ern Unit­ed States for hol­i­day decor. We added these leaves fac­ing both direc­tions for a mul­ti­di­men­sion­al look to this ever­green wreath base.

Misty Blue dries well out of water and was used lib­er­al­ly in this wreath to cre­ate a whimisi­cal design.

The above wreath was edit­ed slight­ly to give it a more neu­tral hol­i­day look. This wreath could be adapt­ed for homes that cel­e­brate both Chanukah and Christmas.

All wreaths fea­tured fresh flow­ers. Some were installed to last over a week in the wreath while oth­er flow­ers like the Misty Blue here would dry nice­ly on the wreath.
