Rustic Christmas Door Wreaths in Brighton

December is here and my thoughts turn to winter foliage and getting ready to create some traditional rustic 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.

I start to deliver these festive decorations to businesses and individuals in Brighton & Hove during the first week in December and take orders for delivery right up to Christmas Eve.

All my wreaths are constructed by hand onto a wire frame, bound with fresh moss and decorated with fresh evergreens.  They are designed to last right through the festivities into the New Year, spraying them with a mist of water every couple of days ensures your wreath looks fresh and fragrant!

Choose from one of the designs below - I personally deliver FREE within Brighton & Hove.  Delivery charges apply outside Brighton in the Sussex area. Prices start from £25.

Holly and Ivy Door Wreath

I love this time of year when I'm greeted by the familiar Christmas pine fragrance every time I open my workshop.

I get great pleasure making wreaths, whether it's for a wedding, funeral or Christmas, they all have the same sentiment - the circle of life.

A tradition thought to have started in ancient Rome, Christmas Door wreaths are formed in a circle to signify eternity and hung on the front door to represent happiness and luck for the New Year.

Each Christmas wreath is constructed by hand onto a wire frame, bound with fresh moss and decorated with fresh evergreens.  Designed to be hung outside, they last well into the New Year as long as they're sprayed with a mist of water every couple of days.

I have a selection of traditional rustic designs to choose from, or if you have a specific colour/theme, I'm happy to create a bespoke design.

Can't continue with wreath designs outside today - the ends of my fingers are numb with the cold!

The survivors are Red Carnations (very hardy), Leucadendron Safari Sunset, Eryngiums and fragrant Eucalyptus (I love the aroma this creates in the room)
