This Christmas my Mom and I took a wreath decorating class from a local florist, Francoise Weeks. Francoise is a little European lady who designs beautiful flowers for weddings. Joyeux Noël! We used orchids, seed pods, nuts and various fruit to decorate our live wreaths. My favorites were the mini-apples. More than 1 month later, my wreath is still going strong. I did have to remove the orchids after our Jan. 16th snow storm, though. You'll notice they are pitch black and make my wreath look more appropriate for a funeral than our front door.
