Winter Flower Club Event: Fresh Wreath and Garlands

We loved spending last Friday evening with so many of our Flower Club members!

It was a fun and festive evening and your enthusiasm for all things fresh and flowers is inspiring. See the breakdown for the greenery used in the fresh garland demonstration below. We’ve also attached an older wreath-making tutorial that goes over many of the basics that were covered at our event.

Please share your designs with us at events@swishandcompany.com. It’s a joy to see what you create.

Happy holidays and Happy designing!
