Winter Wreath Workshop
Winter Foliages and Wreaths at Christmas: Tradition and Design Significance
Winter foliages and wreaths have long been a cherished part of festive décor, symbolising warmth, welcome, and the enduring spirit of Christmas even in the coldest months. Traditionally crafted from evergreens such as holly, pine, fir, and ivy, these natural materials represent life and resilience during winter when much of nature is dormant. Their vibrant greens, deep reds from berries, and occasional hints of silver or gold bring a seasonal charm that brightens homes and invites a festive atmosphere.
Wreaths are more than decorative pieces; they carry deep symbolic meaning. The circular shape denotes eternity and the unbroken cycle of life, making the wreath a perfect emblem of hope and continuity through the winter solstice and beyond. Holly’s sharp leaves and bright berries were once thought to ward off evil spirits, adding an element of protection and blessing to the home during the festive season.
At Richards Floral Design, we celebrate this heritage with carefully creates winter foliages in our Christmas wreaths. Each wreath is hand designed to reflect both tradition and contemporary floral artistry, offering a unique piece that complements your festive setting.
