How to put it together
|
|
- Saturate an 18" OASIS® Maché-Backed Wreath with a mix of water and CLEAR SOLUTION™ nutrient and clarifier. Begin inserting foliage - leather-leaf fern, moss, miniature ivy, and ivy stem around the wreath, creating three different areas. Include some Bells of Ireland as a background.
|
|
- With some croton leaves, wrap the wreath's form. Group 5 roses and place them together in an area. Include some gerbera's and two open papyrus at different heights to decorate other areas.
|
|
- Add color with some tulips and blue Iris. You may wrap the stems of the flowers with OASIS® Waterproof Floral Tape to make them stronger. A stem of Dendrobium Orchids and some curly willow will increase the elegance of the design.
|
|
|
- Fill the voids with Liatris, Alstroemerias, Lilies, and Mums. You may place two taper candles and a fishbowl at the center of the wreath to create a natural and pleasant mood.
