Christmas Wreath Hack

Christmas Wreath Hack

This is my Christmas wreath hack on how to pimp up your wreath! I don’t know about you, but I haven’t the time to make one from scratch and I do find them a little pricey for my meagre budget! So I am going to share with you my Christmas wreath hack!

I purchased my faux wreath from Homebase a few years back, and this is perfect for a base. The pine is bendable, so it makes it super easy to add bits and pieces to bulk out the wreath. I foraged my foliage, in my garden, do be careful if you go out foraging that you are not stealing from someone’s land! Do ask permission.

As a crafter, I do have lots of bits and bobs around the house, so I sprayed some pinecones gold, dried some oranges, and found some red feathers, jingle bells and Christmas ribbon to add!

YOU WILL NEED:

A faux wreath

Some embellishments of your choosing

Christmas ribbon, wired is best

Some florists wire

Wire cutters

HOW TO:

It really is as simple as adding the bits onto the wreath, either by bending the branches or using the florists wire.

I decided to add some length by simply choosing some ivy and wiring it together in the middle.

Christmas Chair Back

You know I love a good chair back! Now this is my Christmas version and it could not be easier!! It definitely gives the table scape an added something wouldn’t you agree?

YOU WILL NEED:

Faux foliage, make sure you can bend the stems

Christmas Ribbon

HOW TO:

Simply gather the stems and bend over the back of the chair, add the Christmas ribbon into a bow and let it trail down the back.

Something that gets asked a lot, is recommended ti Something that gets asked a lot, is recommended timings for your day. Swipe to see an example - but it is just this! An example.
My top tips are: 
✨Go for a 1:30 ceremony if possible to give max time to get ready and to enjoy the day
✨The drinks reception is a really important part of the day - don’t rush it! Take your time to enjoy and speak to people and if you are worried - plan some entertainment such as garden games or magician. 
✨Give yourself around 21/2 hours for a 3 course meal 
✨Do factor in some time after dinner for guests to stretch their legs
✨it’s a nice idea to cut the cake and then go straight into first dance in order to keep peoples attention

This is a post about being YOU for your wedding da This is a post about being YOU for your wedding day, unapologetically. It’s YOUR day and I am so sick of seeing social media allow the cowards to troll. It’s about bloody time they were called out and made to face the consequences. I’ve seen posts today about @staceysolomon - is it your day? NO! I can’t even articulate how angry I am as no one - NO-ONE has the right to be hateful and spiteful over a social media platform. PLEASE do not let the keyboard warriors affect your choices as it’s YOUR wedding and YOUR day. 
Lets not make the haters count and do not let them take away the love and joy of a wedding. 
My inbox is always open to nice people …if you wanna hate - bore off
