It’s that time of year again – The Garden Club of the Back Bay is accepting orders for holiday wreaths, to be created during the first full week in December, ready for delivery (where applicable) or pickup on Wednesday, December 8 and Thursday, December 9. Order forms are just now being mailed to our loyal customer base, those of you who, during the past two seasons, have purchased from us, or who have added their names to our mailing list. If you wish to receive an order form in the mail, send your address to info@gardenclubbackbay.org. You will also be able to print the form from this website.
In the coming weeks you’ll hear more about our wreaths right here, but we thought we’d start the discussion with the simplest of descriptions: Everything is Custom. What that means is that each and every fully decorated wreath is designed to your specification. Do you like a formal, Christmas look for an indoor space? Are you planning to hang your wreath outside on a barn door? Is the wreath going to a seaside cottage, or to a sleek, contemporary condominium? We will work with you on color and accent choices, and no two wreaths (unless they’re a matched set) will be alike. That means you won’t see “your” wreath on a neighbor’s door! Also, while we are happy to publish pictures of wreaths from past years, don’t try to order an identical one – probably the ribbon isn’t available, or the individual decorator may not be available as a volunteer this season. You will, however, be pleased – we guarantee it! Below is a wreath made by Margaret Pokorny, one of a set hung in a spacious lobby, designed for maximum impact. The shot was taken in the workshop before delivery.
