It’s that time of year when we should all take some inspiration from how to make a Classic Christmas Wreath and get in the festive mood.
The Materials
Essentials: A wreath frame (ours is from Spotlight) and florist wires or zip ties.
Heroes: 6 sprigs of conifer (evergreen or other shrubs work equally well), and a dark red flower (ours is a beautiful peony).
Fillers: Thick red ribbon, small coordinating baubles, butchers twine.
The Concept
With the traditionalist in mind, this chic wreath is designed for those who dig red and green.
The Key
Keep all of the branches going the same way and trim anything not fitting the shape. Spray with water to keep things perky, and replace the flowers weekly. Alternatively, you can use fake flowers. The greenery will last 2-3 weeks.
Adam’s tip: Opt for either clustering your decorative elements together, or spreading them around.
The Alternative
Swap out the red for white and gold. Dahlias look great at this time of year and come in plenty of colours.
Ta da moment
Add a string of tiny fairy lights for a truly tears-to-the-eyes Christmas moment.
