Traditional Christmas Door Wreaths

A tradition thought to have started in ancient Rome, 

Christmas wreaths are usually formed in a circle 

to signify eternity and are hung on the front

door to represent happiness and luck for the New Year.

My traditional wreaths are all individually made by hand

onto a wire frame, bound with fresh moss and decorated with 

fresh evergreens. 

I blend fresh seasonal foliage with herbs such as rosemary 

and bay with wintry fragrances from spice sticks such as cinnamon
and dried fruit and fir cones.

Each wreath is designed to be hung outside of either your office

or home and last well into the New Year.

Carnations are making a comeback

 

It's official, carnations are making a comeback!

Regarded as a poor relation and relegated to station forecourts, the carnation is now appearing on designer dresses and hailed as a versatile long lasting bloom by America's queen of good taste, Martha Stewart.

Teamed with spray roses and fragrant foliage, they continue to be the perfect bloom for a simple country summer wedding - I wouldn't be at all surprised to see these starting to appear more and more in 2011.

Good old fashioned blooms, never let you down!
