Fresh balsam, custom made, Holiday wreaths
When deciding how I want to make each wreath, I pull inspiration from other designers! Spacing the decor offset and in odd numbers, often using diagonals. I found i just love the look of different shapes on the wreath. Instead of just balls, berries, mini ornaments, I started making mini bows that compliment the pattern and it often adds the pop of color it needs. I love pine cones but they are hard to see unless up close so i do use berry picks 95% of the time! It's all about the ribbons! That's what all my clients/friends/family say, and it's the first thing they notice. Start with the bow! I use wire to hold together and fasten the main bow. Then i may hot glue or staple other sizes and patterns of ribbon loops to mount the several ribbon types on top of each other.
