Wreath Season Is Here: post 1

Its Christmas Season. Time to deck the halls. Yeah! 

Just want to take the time to share with you one of my favorite things to do for the holidays. Maybe I can help you make your hall decking a little bit easier as I share my progress here on my blog.

I first started with evaluating my space. Since I am decking the church sanctuary; and dealing with a much larger space, I will be calculating at higher quantities to accomplish my design. But the same applies to any space.

I started with establishing three colors and a theme.  My theme here is chocolate covered cherries; based on the color scheme of the sanctuary. I love the combination of chocolate, red and silver. I felt these three Colors would set right with the decor of my space.

Now time to shop online or in stores.  In my case I shopped for Christmas Trees, ornaments, and wreaths. Note you can fine some good buys online.

After gathering all your purchases its time to begin the prep work. Today I began with putting the wreaths together. Using quality artificial wreaths are great; they can give you years of use. Today the detailing of artificial wreaths make it difficult to distinguish between them and the real deal.

I placed out my wreaths, one by one and began the process of attaching my pine cones. After this, I added my artificial snow to each. I chose to add the snow to soften the contrast of the dark green wreath against the cream color wall it will be placed upon.  Remember to read the directions carefully before applying. Application of each brand can differ. Although this brand said "will dry in ten minutes"; I am giving it a day before decorating the wreath. Stay toned...
