As the weather starts to warm up, it’s time to start thinking about wreath-making for the spring and summer seasons. If you’re working with artificial florals or deco mesh, there are plenty of options for creating beautiful wreaths that capture the essence of these seasons. Here are some suggestions for floral types, styles, and color combinations, including patriotic wreaths.
Floral Types
For spring wreaths, consider using artificial versions of seasonal flowers like cherry blossoms, tulips, daffodils, and forsythia. These flowers are bright, cheerful, and perfect for capturing the essence of the season. You can also incorporate fresh-looking greenery like eucalyptus, ferns, and ivy to add a touch of natural beauty to your wreath.
In the summer, you can use a variety of artificial flowers to create a colorful and vibrant wreath. Sunflowers, daisies, zinnias, and roses are all popular choices, and you can mix and match them in different ways to create unique and beautiful wreaths. You can also incorporate bright, bold greenery like palm leaves, monstera leaves, and ferns to add some tropical flair to your wreath.
For patriotic wreaths, consider using red, white, and blue flowers like roses, carnations, and hydrangeas, along with patriotic accents like American flags and stars.
Different Styles
There are many different styles of wreaths that you can create for spring and summer. For a classic look, consider using a simple grapevine wreath as your base and adding seasonal flowers and greenery around the perimeter. You can also experiment with different shapes, like a teardrop swag wreath for Mother’s Day or an oval-shaped wreath for Father’s Day.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can try creating a wreath with a unique signs or accents, like a wreath with a birdhouse or a wreath with fruit. You can also try creating a wreath with a mix of different textures, like a burlap-wrapped wreath or a moss wreath with artificial flowers and greenery.
For patriotic wreaths, consider using deco mesh in red, white, and blue to create a bold and vibrant wreath. You can also incorporate patriotic accents like ribbons and bows in these colors.
Color Combinations
When it comes to color combinations for your spring and summer wreaths, the possibilities are endless. For spring, consider using soft pastels like pink, lavender, and yellow, or go for a more vibrant look with bold colors like fuchsia and turquoise. You can also mix and match different shades of green to create a natural-looking wreath.
In the summer, you can use bright, bold colors like orange, red, and yellow, or create a more tropical look with shades of green and blue. You can also experiment with combining different colors and textures to create a unique and eye-catching wreath.
For patriotic wreaths, red, white, and blue are the obvious color choices. However, you can play with different shades of these colors to create a unique and striking look.
With a little creativity and the right materials, you can create beautiful wreaths for spring and summer using artificial florals or deco mesh. Consider using seasonal flowers and greenery, experimenting with different styles and shapes, and playing with color combinations to create a wreath that is uniquely your own.
