The Garden Club of the Back Bay’s wreaths are becoming legendary. For sheer beauty, freshness, and innovative decorations, these wreaths are holiday masterpieces. Our past customers know this, and when the annual order forms are mailed, they are returned within days. Last season we had so many orders for fully decorated wreaths, we had to cut off accepting new orders before the end of November, and our volunteer decorators still felt a bit overwhelmed during wreath making days. So we made a few changes this year. First, we did not advertise in our local newspapers, much as we love them and like to support our local businesses, especially those which give us such great coverage during the year. Next, we are not planning to send out second notices, which we have always done prior years. In an additional attempt to better manage our numbers, we instituted a $50 surcharge for matched sets of three or more fully decorated wreaths. Matched sets are the most difficult to do, and we are happy to coordinate sets with matching ribbons and bow placement, as long as they need not be identical. Our goal is to create 225 fully decorated wreaths December 5 – 8, along with our lovely plain wreaths and wreaths with bows, and no more. As of today, we have orders for more than 115 fully decorated wreaths, and the window is closing. Don’t be left out. You may click on to http://www.gardenclubbackbay.org/products-page/ for an order form.
