Romantic Wreath

Surrounding the ring of delicate pink ‘Rosita Vendela’ roses, both inside and outside the blush blooms, variegated Pittosporum provides a bold backdrop for the soft palette. The materials are assembled in a floral-foam design ring, creating a horizontal wreath that will captivate those who crave the unexpected. Concealing the edge of the wreath’s plastic tray, a pretty dotted ribbon repeats the roses’ feminine hue.

MATERIALS: ‘Rosita Vendela’ roses from Royal Flowers International; variegated Pittosporum from favorite supplier; Aquafoam® Designer Ring from Syndicate Sales; ribbon from Nashville Wraps. To contact these companies, see “Product Source Guide” on Page 161.

HOW TO 1: Snip roses about 1 inch beneath the blooms, and arrange the short-stemmed flowers into a saturated floral-foam design ring.	HOW TO 2: Arrange sprigs of variegated Pittosporum around the exterior of the design ring. Arrange a second ring of Pittosporum sprigs around the inside of the ring.	HOW TO 3: Wrap a coordinating ribbon around the ring’s plastic tray to conceal it. Use adhesive dots to secure, if needed. Tie into a pretty bow to finish.
