Top Tips
-
Long lasting, perfect for home decor and interior styling! However, the colour will fade overtime
-
Quite messy and the stems dried are quite brittle. Make sure you make up the design in a suitable environment and not on your best dining table or carpet!
-
Depending on the size of wreath that you are making will depend on the quantity of dried lavender required to make the wreath. If you are creating a smaller wreath, break down the the bunch into smaller bunches to make it easier to construct.
-
If you are eco-conscious, instead of using binding wire to construct on a wire base, you can use garden twine or string on a vine base. If you do it on a wire base, you can always re-use again at Christmas for your door wreath.

If used for a wedding, the lavender fragrance will evoke fond memories in later life as a reminder of your wedding day!
