Our Weekly Tip: A Modern Memorial Wreath

Credit: Cha Petines

Our Tip of the Week: White flowers are the standard go-to for any memorial or celebration of life ceremony. But why not try something new? We particularly like the idea of creating a succulent wreath as a centerpiece or take-home gift for guests. Succulents are hearty little plants that, even in the harshest and most desolate circumstances, find a way to prosper. A rather fitting plant for a memorial ceremony, no?

How-to Suggestion: You can head to any local hardware store to find wreath frames (like Hobby Lobby), green wire, wire cutters and moss. Pack the moss lightly into the wreath frame, then gather a medley of succulents together and pack tightly into it. Voilà!
