Create your own Alpine Display Wreath
Do you want your Christmas displays to WOW? Here's how... taking inspiration from our Alpine collection.
The key to achieving the Alpine look is to keep colours fresh and natural. The collection features muted tones, chalky natural woods and gorgeous contemporary foliage. Its the perfect fresh and natural look for Christmas.
Here's the recipe from the experts, so you can create your own:
1. Start by lightly spraying the wreath with matt white spray, front and back. Work the spray into the wreath’s branches but don’t completely cover… allow some of the natural green tones to show through to give a frosted effect.
2. Adding lights is the perfect way to create more visual interest… and to catch customer’s attention on the dark winter days as they pass by your window. Apply your light’s fixing point to the top using florist wire, working the lights through ensuring the longer lengths reach down to the bottom. Leave any unused lights dangling as they can be woven in later.
3. Choose a couple of key products for your focal point (such as the gonks). Position the gonks so they sit together and attach by making two holes in the gonk base and using strong wire to anchor to the wreath.
4. Add the glitter star garlands, starting at the top and working through allowing the remaining garland to dangle to a point at the bottom.
5. Add remaining smaller product concentrating on spacing around the gonks to frame them. Use the existing strings attached to the product to tie to the wreath branches or use florist wire. Disperse a few products around the sides and top but know when to stop! Less is more, the focus is on the central products.
6. Weave through any remaining lights that are left dangling.
Hang up your wreath and enjoy!
