Pretty Spring Wreath

I made a pretty Spring wreath using flowers from Michael’s Store but you could use the same technique with flowers from your favorite shop.

I’ve had bright pink on my mind this Spring and I was thrilled to find so many pretty stems in one spot! (I have to admit I went one step further, it was pouring out so I had it same day delivered…my new favorite thing!!)

I’ve had my Forsythia wreath up for awhile and it’s time for a switch.

Don’t worry…I’m not going to try and shove ALL those flowers into this wreath!!! I will be using them for a few different projects for Spring.

For this wreath I’m using a 24″ grapevine wreath...I wanted a big, bold statement.


How I make a wreath:

My formula for putting a wreath together is to start with the showstoppers that I want to be the centerpiece of the wreath. For this wreath it is the bright pink and light pink peonies.

I also use an odd number of stems for the showstoppers; 3 of the big bright and light pink peonies.

Using floral wire cutters I cute each stem from the bunch. Then I find the spot I want the flower and tuck the wire into the grapvine to secure it in place.

I don’t use hot glue in case I want to take the wreath apart and use the stems someplace else next year, but if you want a more permanent wreath then hot glue away!

After I had the peonies in place I started to fill in around them with some of the other smaller florals.

I’m using yellow and white flowers to play off the pinks. I tucked in yellow anemone flowers along with a few white poppies.

Oh, these little pink rose picks remind me of beach roses! They have some eucalyptus attached to them too. One went at each end of the wreath.

To finish filling in the wreath I wanted to add a couple different textures. The white thistle balls and coral berries, pink cosmos, and a few sprigs of colored lavender added some more interest to the Spring wreath.

Lastly, I added some ribbon. I picked a burlap with black dots; an unexpected choice but it gives a little pop.

For this simple bow I gathered the ribbon and made 3 equal sized loops then secured the bottom with a pipe cleaner. Then used the pipe cleaner to attach the ribbon to the grapevine wreath.


Isn’t it pretty!!

    I love your wreath. Happy you made it for a fraction of the cost compared to sellers on Etsy. There is something you should know about sellers on Etsy. A lot of sellers (including myself) put a lot of money in our supplies to make our wreaths that will last the customers a very long time. Some are made by special orders and will cost us more to make due to not having on hand. I am sure I am not alone but we buy from top notch suppliers and they are not cheap to buy from. We make sure our wreaths are 100 percent perfect in every way possible from using items that are fade resistant to waterproof on a lot of them. Also the time, caring and effort it takes to make a stunning wreath to please the customer and for me it’s a source of income. I understand people making their own wreaths but please don’t undermine what others are doing to try to supplement their income. Like I said your wreath is pretty.

      I don’t recall any retailer being (defaced) as you’re speaking of. If you’re confident of your creations, you should not be worried about what others are creating or how much fun we do it. The low cost makes it even more fun to create. Besides, maybe perhaps you are on here verbalizing just like me to get someone’s else’s creative ideas to use. For ourselves??? I do feel bad for your business, because you perhaps aren’t selling as much as you like, so you are going to go after someone who is living in reality. Yes that’s right, the reality is that the cost of stuff to buy from a retailer in this day is not always practical. I have to wonder…did you start creating as a child or perhaps a silver spoon? Going forward if you have nothing nice to say about someone’s creativity or thoughts, DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL✌️🌞
