  @Deb Oller Thank you, Deb!! I put the "big" heart shaped diamond at the top and a "crystal" looking letter "C" on the bottom of it to give it a little "pizzazz". But, didn't know whether it really should of had a "bow or something" else added to it!! ~~ I'll leave it alone! :)

@Cindy Carley It doesn't necessarily need a ribbon, but I think I would pick up a few sprays / picks of pearls found in the wedding section of craft stores to intersperse throughout the wreath to give it a little contrasting pop & something extra. :)

I think it's gorgeous... I'd keep it above my bed all year long! That jazzy C gets lost, though, so if you do put a ribbon, maybe move it onto the center of the bow...if it's not white, like a magenta or somthing...

Knowing when to stop is key whenever you are creating. One way to know is to leave it overnight and come back to it with fresh eyes. IN this case I agree with the person who said it's pretty as it is. Less is always the best if you are unsure.

I believe that I will go with Katrina's suggestion and add some "blingy" pearls/diamond items that can be purchased in any wedding section at Hobby Lobby or Michael's!! ~~ Loved all of the responses & suggestions!! ~~ Thank you "HOMETALK" peeps!!! :)

I agree with Sandy. It is beautiful just the way it is and I think a ribbon bow would look a tacky against all that beautiful. I want to make this.

  @Beverly Kracke Thank you for your comments. It was very easy using a green foam circular form and "fake" red roses with "clear glitter" on the leaves and a hot-glued them on!! And, added the additional "blingy" items!! ~~ Probably done in less than an hour!!! ~ Go for it!! ~~ Please share your photo, too!!
