We’re makin’ wreaths over here!

It can get rough with all this spikey, gooey, sticky, pokey goodness — and we love it!

making wreaths

tah-dah!

In Greco-Roman times, wreaths were displayed as an adornment to represent a person’s occupation, rank, achievements and status. This makes perfect sense to us because we see a different personality in every wreath we create.

Whether understated…

30inch Twig Wreath

brambly wreath

ammo wreath 2011

modern…

Lambert Wreath

or traditional…

Levitan Wreath2

…every wreath is one-of-a-kind.

We use all sorts of textural ingredients to make the coolest holiday wreaths, such as pinecones, eucalyptus pods, silver and yellow bells, coffee bean, pepper berry, princess pine, juniper, noble, sumac, cedar, pomegranates, acacia and privet berry.
