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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/?action=view&amp;current=DSC04428.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/DSC04428.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stephanie's prototype wreath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/?action=view&amp;current=DSC04427.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/DSC04427.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These wreaths had a rustic flair that we loved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/?action=view&amp;current=DSC04424.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/DSC04424.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bold with a touch of whimsy!  The only boxwood in the bunch, as well. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/?action=view&amp;current=DSC04421.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/DSC04421.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sterling silver with juniper berries and accents of red.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/?action=view&amp;current=DSC04422.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/DSC04422.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A more natural-styled wreath with ivory organza ribbon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/?action=view&amp;current=DSC04433.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j214/croqmingo/DSC04433.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/344600717603120324-3310312429779110069?l=wisteriaweddings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wisteriaweddings.blogspot.com/feeds/3310312429779110069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=344600717603120324&amp;postID=3310312429779110069' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/344600717603120324/posts/default/3310312429779110069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/344600717603120324/posts/default/3310312429779110069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wisteriaweddings.blogspot.com/2009/12/wreath-class-photographs.html' title='Wreath Class Photographs'/><author><name>Lesleigh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09303146223997534953</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j6Rr3nelRa4/SQeMdEBf3oI/AAAAAAAAAAM/mH1z1zy_0Xo/S220/logoriffic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344600717603120324.post-3061165720644532252</id><published>2009-12-12T14:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-12T14:46:26.775-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Stay tuned, class photographs and schedule updates for January coming soon!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/344600717603120324-3061165720644532252?l=wisteriaweddings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wisteriaweddings.blogspot.com/feeds/3061165720644532252/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=344600717603120324&amp;postID=3061165720644532252' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/344600717603120324/posts/default/3061165720644532252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/344600717603120324/posts/default/3061165720644532252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wisteriaweddings.blogspot.com/2009/12/stay-tuned-class-photographs-and.html' title=''/><author><name>Lesleigh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09303146223997534953</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j6Rr3nelRa4/SQeMdEBf3oI/AAAAAAAAAAM/mH1z1zy_0Xo/S220/logoriffic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
