We will be using a variety of foliage including local ivy (from Bamburgh Castle), holly, cupress and eucalyptus to name just a few. There will be a huge selection of decorative items to choose from to add to your wreath to make it truly individual including pine cones, dried fruits, cinnamon sticks, baubles, ribbons, berries and festive novelties. You can even colour co-ordinate your ribbon to your front door or your other Christmas decor if you like!
The possibilities are endless…..
