We’ve told you how we make our bows, but some Garden Club of the Back Bay wreaths are send out, by special request, without ribbon. A few customers keep their wreaths up well into late winter and don’t want an especially holiday look to the decoration. Some just prefer our designs without the added splash of color. As we’ve said before, we aim to please. There is a bit more work involved with wreaths without bows, since more of the surface of the wreath must be covered. While an average fully decorated standard wreath might take between an hour to two hours to make, one without ribbon easily stretches the process an extra half hour.
