Each holiday wreath order received by The Garden Club of the Back Bay is a special order, but some are more specific than others. For instance, a customer may request a fully decorated indoor wreath with designer’s choice bow and accents. This leaves the design decisions to the decorator, which of course we love. Another customer may ask for a fully decorated indoor wreath with a deep garnet bow (not burgundy, but not red) and light gold accents with lotus pods and no grasses. Or, we may be asked to design a fully decorated outdoor wreath with a gold bow and gold accents for a windy location on a black door.   The client for the wreath pictured below, one of a matched pair, asked for a Della Robbia inspired wreath with a burgundy and gold bow. This is one of a few examples of our use of lots of artificial materials, which was necessary in order to pull off the “look.” The wreaths are hung high on outdoor pillars, so, from a distance, the wreaths should look quite natural.
