Analogous Natural Wreath
Natural Wreath using Analogous Colours
Time: 19 minutes and 10 seconds Season: All Year round
In this demonstration, our tutor will provide you with an insight into how to construct a natural wreath using a pre made base and seasonal flowers in an analogous colour palette. Circular wreaths for funeral flowers are a traditional and poignant way to honor the memory of a loved one, symbolizing eternal life and the unbroken circle of love and remembrance. These wreaths are often adorned with a variety of flowers, each carrying its own meaning, and arranged in a way that reflects the personality and spirit of the deceased.
Analogous colours are groups of three colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel, sharing a common primary colour. One colour is typically the dominant colour, while the others support and enhance the overall scheme. This combination is often used in design and art to create a harmonious and pleasing visual effect. Using analogous colours can add depth and richness to a design without creating too much contrast.
The use of foam-free tributes, such as natural bases made from sustainable materials like moss or willow, offers significant environmental benefits. They reduce plastic waste, promote biodegradability, and often support local, eco-friendly practices. Additionally, foam-free arrangements allow for greater creativity in design and can be just as sturdy and visually appealing as traditional methods, making them a compassionate choice for both honouring loved ones and caring for the planet. This design has the potential to dry naturally in situ.

I do love this! I wish there was a way to do wreaths which have a water source but are also completely biodegradable……
Hadn’t actually seen a vine wreath done in this way but it was beautiful. Thank you for a lovely different demonstration.
