WINTER WHITES
"Decorating my home for Christmas is one of the ways I get into the festive spirit and the doorstep is where it all begins, so a show-stopping wreath is essential. There are so many ways you can go, but a favourite of mine is a chic 'winter white' wreath. Our Luxury Let It Snow Wreath is sustainably made and uses lots of natural materials such as dried flowers and fruits and pinecones. I also like to use dried hydrangeas from my family’s flower farm, Floriston, but there’s so many other incredible natural things you can use to create the perfect wreath – from eucalyptus and cotton stems to mimosa and holly." – Lucy Vail, LucyVailFloristry.com
FRESH FLOWERS
“There are so many ways to give your wreath the personal touch, and I love fresh flowers. If you have floral elements or berries in your wreath, misting them regularly with water will help them last that bit longer. We’re adding bells to our wreaths, too. This year, luxurious bows are a big trend – they elevate and balance the textures of a foliage wreath. A variety of winter greens should form the base of any foliage wreath, too, as this will create interesting movement and character. Hardier varieties will last longer – especially varieties of pine, spruce and fir. I have found that lighter tones work best with most front door colours, so having accents of eucalyptus will help your wreath stand out.” – Marianne Johnson, Sweet Pea Floral Atelier
EVERGREEN
“People use all sorts of colours to transform their homes at this time of year, so don’t feel like you have to be a slave either to trends or tradition – just make sure your wreath reflects your personal style. I like dark, wintery hues in a wreath but, while they’re certainly seasonally appropriate, if your door is also dark and not well lit, your wreath is likely to become lost or completely hidden by 4pm. For this reason, it might be worth adding something brighter – be it a pretty winter white ribbon or even some actual fairy lights – to lift the look.” – Sue Barnes, LavenderGreen.co.uk
CITRUS & SPICE
“Scent is one of the most crucial factors in Christmas décor and your wreath is no exception. For me, the scent of the season is rich orange and sweet cinnamon – most authentic and even faux wreaths will be infused with some sort of scent (often involving dried fruits and cinnamon sticks) but a gentle room spray can also work wonders to prolong the fragrance as the season develops.” – Whitney Bromberg-Hawkings, FLOWERBX
RED BERRIES
“No Christmas wreath would look right without some red berries against rich green foliage. I tend to go for rose hips, but hypericum berries are another popular choice – different reds in uniform shapes. Ilex berries are also good, although not as uniform and rounded as hypericum, giving a more branching display of red berries. Foliage wise, red berries look particularly good in a mix of pine, ivy, eucalyptus and viburnum. Berries can last well for several weeks if they are regularly misted with water to keep them hydrated; it also helps if their stems are tucked into the base of a wreath made with damp moss.” – Rosebie Morton, The Real Flower Company
