Want to Make Your Own Fresh Wreath?

I do!  Especially after visiting the San Francisco Flower Mart yesterday.

 It doesn’t look that hard!  Wouldn’t it be fun to get some friends together in a garage with everyone’s twigs, berries, pinecones, etc. from their yards?  Perhaps with some Champagne involved?
A centerpiece would be nice too.  Love the heirloom hydrangeas and shiny magnolia leaves.

 

This guy was making my favorite wreaths…but they were already sold to florists 🙁
You could buy a frame like this.

 

Use some floral wire.

 Got some pomegranates?

Think you could do it?  I do!

The rest of the flowers at the mart were beautiful, too.

 

This is the one I bought for our front door (I added some ribbon).  I also bought the small bay leaf wreath on the bottom left for our kitchen.  $50 for both.  Definitely worth it to try to make your own.

 Save your big pine cones…they are useful year after year.  I just put this on my sister’s stove top hood.

Have you ever made a fresh wreath?
