Last week, we held our special custom Holiday wreath design class, and it was a fabulous success! We had both boxwood and balsam wreaths available to customize, as well as a table full of fun goodies for each of the students to further individualize their creations; multiple varieties of evergreen, seeded eucalyptus, bespangled birds and berries, stars, pinecones and fresh fruit (including lady apples, kumquats, cranberries, and miniature pears), natural birch branching, pheasant and peacock feathers... and oodles of other festive decorations. The ladies also made their own bows with their choice of velvet, sparkly, and sheer ribbons. Steph and I were floored by how gorgeous everyone's wreaths turned out... as well as how different each of them were, despite the same materials being available to everyone. Imagination ran wild with this class... Take a look-see!
Stephanie's prototype wreath.
These wreaths had a rustic flair that we loved.
Bold with a touch of whimsy! The only boxwood in the bunch, as well. :)

Thanks for the fun night, ladies! I'm sure all your wreaths look stunning on your front doors, so feel free to share some of your own photos of your work (I'm no photographer, clearly ;)). Schedules for January will be posted soon, so I hope to see you all in the New Year!
