This wreath is sooo Gorgeous!!!  This creation begins with on an 18″ grapevine wreath base. If you like Old fashioned, traditional look, you can use the deeper red, dusty blue, off white and cream colors. More of an Americana look. Sitting center stage is a proud majestic Bald Eagle (the National emblem of the United States). He measures 7.5″ tall x 8″ wide. The flowers that  surround him are dark red roses, off white roses with baby’s breath, dusty blue peonies and ranunculus roses, cream, red and dusty blue mini roses and lots of cream, blue and red astilbe to frame out the design and give it a dramatic look.  You can also add berries in blue and cream. In the center of the design is large trio of metal stars with gold stars shooting off to the side. Throughout the wreath you will find a metal heart, flag, and star all old fashioned looking. Each have been outlined with gold glitter to make them more dramatic. To finish off the design, a beautiful a double bow with high quality wired ribbons. There is a 2.5″ gold heavy satin ribbon combined with a 2.5″ gold patriotic star ribbon, both finished with a wired gold edge. The finished wreath measures 23″ wide x 27″ long.
