FlowerBx Deep Red Indoor Wreath

Adam Wilkie, a former PR director for fashion brand Tom Ford, set up chic online brand FlowerBx as an antidote to some of the common problems he saw in the flower-buying experience. One particular difference that sets it apart from its competitors is that it mainly deals with single-varietal bunches, cutting out the unnecessary and unwanted filler often found in mixed bouquets. When the same principle is applied to wreaths, it makes for a modern, single-colour piece guaranteed to make an impact in any room. For the ultimate statement, opt for this variation composed of rich, deep red carnations.

Larry Walshe The Nell Gwynn Wreath

This show-stopping wreath takes its name from the famous mistress of King Charles II, the orange seller Nell Gywnn. Her profession is interpreted literally in the dried clementines and orange slices that are liberally scattered among other festive items including bundles of cinnamons and pine-cones. The rich tones are completed by the dark-hued Norwegian blue spruce at its base, creating a classic arrangement that reminds of opulent Christmases of years gone by.
