Which flowers to choose
Pale green carnations look pretty when teamed with their creamy white counterparts. Green chrysanthemums, on the other hand, add a burst of fresh lime green while peppermint-green roses offer a more subtle hue. Choose variations on the same tones or mix things up for a riot of contrasting shades.
A simple hydrangea wreath
Green hydrangeas are simply stunning and available in an array of beautiful green hues. Go for a uniform colour or contrast brighter green blooms with pale creamy flowers with a subtle hint of yellow-green. Here’s how to make the simplest hydrangea wreath.
Luscious leaves
Incorporate plenty of lush green foliage to add depth to your wreath. Climbing plants such as ivy are ideal for wrapping around your circular structure. Allow them to hang over the edges for a more natural finish. Try adding eucalyptus, tapestry millet, beargrass, and lemon leaf to add some texture to your wreath.
Shamrock wreath
If you can’t get your hands on any shamrock itself, create your own shamrock-shaped wreath, by bending a wire coat hanger into the shape of a shamrock and using this as your base structure.
Tie things up nicely
No wreath is complete without a bow. Green organza or hessian, make a stylish yet natural and rustic finish to your wreath. Tie in a large bow, at the top or bottom (either can work well), but keep it slightly off centre.
