Or should we say winter part II. Philly is currently stuck in a never ending snow globe and we are SO ready for some spring weather to say the least. Currently accepting complimentary flights to anywhere with sunny and warm weather. Preferably Cali or Hawaii, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose.
In an effort to ward off the snow, we made a spring floral wreath using flowers from our favorite local florist, Kelly at Bloom Flower Co. It literally takes three different supplies and your creativity. This can totally work with faux flowers if you want a lasting look through the whole season.
M A T E R I A L S
+ Fresh or faux flowers and greens - gather a variety for a unique look!
+ Natural grapevine wreath - we bought ours from Kelly, our local florist, but you can find these at your local craft store or on Amazon
+ Scissors or pruning shears

Start by cutting and setting aside the flowers and greens you will be using on the wreath. The greens will hold up for a while versus the more delicate flowers, like the cottage roses we used, that will dry pretty quickly. If you're making this for a special event we would recommend putting it together the day of or day before and spraying the flowers with water throughout the day. This way the flowers still look as fresh and alive as possible!

While the wreath is laying down on the table start by sticking in layers of greens and wax flowers. The wax flowers will dry nicely along with the greens. Layer the more delicate flowers on top for texture and dimension.
^ it ain't all pretty– it can get a bit messy!
Voila! You have yourself a fancy new floral wreath. The flowers can be swapped out for a different look each season or whenever you want so you can get your moneys worth on that wreath. Tag @rayandablog on Instagram so we can see your creations!
