Here is an outdoor wreath anyone would be proud to hang. The sparkly red and gold striped bow is centrally placed at the top, magnolia, white pine and eucalyptus augment the balsam, red and brushed gold balls balance the bow, and a few painted pine cones, lotus pods, and milkweed pods add interest at the bottom. This wreath was meant to be hung outdoors, but would do equally well inside.
