A bold Christmas wreath idea that throws out the rulebook and turns heads

This silvery white wreath combines silvery green leaves and stems, with white flowers and berries, to give your front door a magical, ethereal feel. Forage in your garden or on country walks for as many of the above natural ingredients as possible, but if you can’t find them all then be creative with what you can find.

  • Ash twigs
  • Eucalyptus stenms
  • Birch (Betula) bark

  • Prickly heath (Gaulteria mucronata) stems with berries
  • Old man’s beard (Clematis vitalba) seedheads
  • Silver bush (Convolvulus cneorum) stems
  • Mistletoe stems with berries
  • Oak twigs
  • Pittosporum stems
  • Small can of hairpray
  • Flat wire wreath frame (30cm diameter)
  • Floristry wire or string
