Velvet Brown - Home Accessories

So many of our customers have asked how we make our Christmas Door Wreaths, so here’s a little insight. 

All our fresh wreaths are made in a time-honoured traditional floristry way.  This involves making a base of blue-pine foliage onto a wire frame with a fresh moss backing.  This ensures freshness throughout the festive season.  Some of today’s widely available wreaths are made either into a foam base or on a modern clip-frame, however nothing beats a moss base for ensuring freshness and providing a stable, firm base onto which fruits, cones, cinnamon can be added.  We also add extra foliage, including ivy, laurel, bay or skimmia.

We’ve been making door wreaths for many, many years - they’re a labour of love however we never tire of making them.  No two are identical and every one made includes a little bit of us too.

We love to receive photos of our wreaths hanging on doors, if you’ve taken a photo of your wreath do please email a copy to us for our collection.
