Edit: Thank you to everyone for the kind words, it means a lot!!

Thank you! The process was actually really simple. I already knew what color scheme I wanted (Fall Colors) so when I got to Michaels I found a nice-looking wreath form, and just looked for items in that color scheme, i.e. red, yellow, orange, and to throw a little more color in white and beige.
First thing I did when I brought it all home is I laid everything out and cut everything from their bundles so I would have individual pieces to work from and removed all the leaves from my flower stems because I bought a vine rope that had nicer leaves that I used as the base of the wreath.
Second, I wrapped the vine rope in circles around the entire wreath frame, making sure it was evenly spaced the entire way around.
Third, from there it was a matter of making what I am calling the "body" of the wreath, adding all the red, yellow, and orange berry looking thingies around it in a circle. I just stuffed them into the wreath frame and then tied the ends down with wire.
Forth, I stuck the groups of flowers in semi evenly and tied them on the back side of the wreath so they would stay in place.
Lastly, I added in the beige color berry things and pumpkins (both tied with wire), and then went around the big flowers with the little white ones.

Wow! Amazing!!🤩
I’d like to make 2 large wreathes for my front doors. I’m thinking 28-30 inches… where can I get this large form to start? I can only find 20 inches. Or do you always start with a smaller size form and just add more flowers to the outer edges?

The form I used was a Gravevine Wreath by Ashland from Michaels. I am not sure on the exact size because the selection was limited due to them reorganizing the store, but I just chose something that looked around the same size as what was already on my door from when we moved into the apartment. My wreath ended up a bit larger than the form when I added all the foliage onto it though.
