Spring Peony Wreath DIY

Monday, March 2, 2015



The blossoming trees and beautiful weather lately remind me that spring is around the corner and soon our garden will be alive with the sound of buzzing bees.  Although most of the flowers are just beginning to bloom in the entryway, over the next month or so the front yard will be filled with soft pink, lavender, white and coral blooms.  

Designed to reflect the delicate spring colors of our entry garden, this faux peony wreath will hang on the front door to welcome visitors.  It features peonies in pink and white, velvety lamb's ear foliage, sprigs of heather and lavender forget-me-nots.


To create a wreath like this one, start with the large white peonies and weave the stems into a grapevine form.  Then add the lamb's ear foliage to the spaces in between the flowers.  Next, attach the pink peonies and fill in the empty spaces with sprigs of heather and forget-me-nots.  Use floral wire when needed.


The pastel color combination and textural foliage in this wreath celebrate the softness of spring...

Winter Wreath in Champagne Gold and Silver

Monday, December 15, 2014



The holidays are coming fast and I have been busy with many events and creative projects.  So little time to blog!  However, I want to share this custom wreath with all of you.  I just finished it today and  it will soon be delivered to its owner...

This winter wreath in golds and silvers was requested by a friend who wanted a shimmery, metallic look to hang through early January.  Gold-dusted ivory poinsettias mixed with champagne tone holly and snowy pinecones capture the feeling of winter while providing sparkle for the holidays.


The soft gold poinsettias are shown with neutral silver glittery vines and champagne holly touched with rose for accent.  


Ornaments in matte and glittery golds highlight the soft metallics throughout the wreath and add punctuation to the flowers.
