WREATHS & DECORATING STYLES

Hundreds of bow designs, sizes and styles of various colors are used in hand-crafted wreaths. Cones are used in different sizes and colored for distinction. Hundreds of ornaments may be added by the craftsman. Wreaths of various sizes are used in windows, single doors, double doors, barn doors, porches, walls, cemeteries and for ceremonial purposes. Many wreath-makers have expanded their product line to include a variety of “Evergreen Novelties” such as swags, kissing balls, stars, crosses, heart designs, centerpieces, mantelpieces and even mailbox huggies.

ARCH: A curved or arched arrangement often used over doorways & windows.

BOUGHS: Branches of evergreens used for decorating and creating wreaths and novelties.
