Summer Floral Wreath
It’s that time of year again! The days are getting longer and the weather is warming up. Flowers in your garden are starting to bloom and it’s a great feeling, isn’t it? This summer floral wreath project will have you whipping up an outdoor masterpiece in no time at all. It doesn’t matter if you are a first-time wreath maker or have been doing it for years. We’ll walk through the steps together so you know exactly how I created this beautiful wreath. Grab your supplies and let’s get started.
With this design, I really wanted to make sure the greenery and stems truly stood off the wreath form. I decided that I wanted to add some dimension to this wreath and knew a great way to do just that. That is why I picked out wired picks and stems to work with. When using greenery and florals that are wired it really allowed me to make that height I was looking for.
In design school we talk about many different things like dimension when it comes to wreath making, If you are ready to up your knowledge and techniques then be sure to join me over at Keleas Design School.

Ingredients
Directions
- Start by adding in your Eucalyptus greenery. Placing it equally spaced out around the right side of your grapevine. Dipping the end of your stem into your glue pot and push into the wreath so that it will stay. Applying moss where the hot glue sticks to the wreath.
- Now add in your long seemed sunflowers. I trimmed these down just a little because I want them to really standoff of this wreath to give it that dept I am aiming for. I mainly placed these right around where the eucalyptus greenery was placed.
- Placing Yellow Back Sia Stem one at the top right in between two sunflowers and the second one right in the bottom center of your wreath.
- Let’s add some purple to this wreath. Using greenery that has purple let’s start placing them around the sunflowers that we placed early. Really working that greenery into the wreath form using hot glue on the ends of each stem. Don’t forget to add your moss over the hot glue that sticks to the wreath.
- Using purple hydrangeas place these starting at the top left, working them down your wreath on the right side. Once you have placed your purple hydrangeas go back and use purple sweet pea greenery and add it to give your wreath some more purple colors and have them literally sticking straight up.
- With your fuzzy vine twigs attach it to your wreath with a zip tie under your top left sunflower. Cut the excess of your zip tie once you have it in there tight. Then take the hanging part of your fuzzy vine twig and weave it through the top of your placed flowers working it down towards the left side. Bringing it down around making a little twist. Once you have it placed zip tie the end to the wreath to really help hold that in place.
- Repeat the same step with your second fuzzy vine twig this time placing it where the last one ended and twisting it down the bottom of your wreath.
- Let’s add in some fun yellow berries now! I am just going to work these naturally in the space on the left side. Dipping the end of each stem into the hot glue and pushing it into the inside and outside of the wreath base. This is really what I am using to fill in any holes and empty spaces I find while finishing up this creation.
