|Manzanita Trimmings + Floral Festoon|
Here’s another prototype for the holiday wreath reinterpreted. To give it that homespun California vibe I thought about the idea of using the rich and resplendent branches of native west coast Manzanita. Now this wreath was a prototype so you’re only seeing the idea of a wreath made of Manzanita trimmings. The completed wreath would be a full, bountiful bundle of trimmings adorned with festive flora.

The flora of choice seen here consists of sculptural Aeonium rosettes, stunning starbursts of blue sapphire Eryngium, and a variety of chic, sleek, and ‘rustique’ Eucalyptus capsules also commonly referred to as ‘Gum Nuts’. I think the look is simple yet cool and Californian. I call it Sierra sophistication. What do you think of this idea?
Are you selling your interpretive inspirations? Because I love them. I’m too lazy to make my own, but I have holiday gifts to give in LA.
Ann Marie! Thanks for the loving! Unfortunately, the wreaths are sold out! I did not promote them publicly this year. They’re featured on the blog to see if people dig ‘em. The answer so far is a resounding “YES”. So next year, I’ll have to make a public offering.
Ooh, I like it sparse like this.
Thanks Ellen!
Just for fun. Since the wreath is so Californian…
