It was so exciting to see some great designss happen when my daughters and daughter-in-laws got together to decorate wreaths for their homes.
We purchased standard wreaths from the wholesaler and yes, the grocery stores, and embellished them with fresh gatherings from the garden and nature walks, and came up with some great designs!
There are so many foliage plants that look stunning in winter designs. Here are a few from the beds at Springwell Gardens- fresh nandina, Goshiki False Holly, blue cypress, Threadleaf False Cypress and Gold Crippsii Chamaecyparis. There were also some nandina and holly berries as were as nature gatherings. Gingko leaves both natural and gilded are a favorite of mine this time of year and so are the cotton bolls that Wilson was able to pick on a farm site he visits. Red chili peppers went into a wreath for my Mom's door and a centerpiece design for my mother-in-law.
And here are the fabulous results!!!
My favorite part is the time spent together with them all. Natalie had a conflict so we got together later to do hers, and that was good too!
I am looking forward to making this a yearly tradition!!!
