Common questions

How much does a wreath cost if I make it myself?

The lowest cost wreath, if you bring your own greens, ribbon, etc. is the cost of the wreath ring, which is typically around $9-15, depending on the size. If you buy greens, depending on the type of greens, a basic wreath without ribbon will cost around $40-60, again depending on the size. If you are on a budget, we recommend that you use a combination of your own greens and ours to make the best looking wreath.
Example: Standard door-size 12-inch wreath ring ($10.99), 3-5 lbs of fir, pine, and cedar boughs ($6.99-$7.99/lb) ($20-$40), a hand-tied bow, pinecones, dried fruit, and/or berries ($10-$20). Total $40.99-$70.99.

What do I need to bring?

Besides yourself, bring a pair of pruners and gardening gloves. You can rent pruners from us for $2, and purchase a pair of gloves for $6.99 (and up) if you don't have them.
Please note that wreath-making is a sticky business. You'll get pitch on your hands and maybe on your clothes, so don't wear high fashion. You may want to bring a change of clothes for the Instagram shot of you with your creation! More on this further down.

How should I dress?

The rooms get COLD, especially as the sun goes down. The rooms are not heated, though there are space heaters to warm your hands. Dress for cold weather, bring a thermos of something warm, and bring gloves. HOWEVER, don't wear expensive clothing, as the pitch from the greens can make a mess of your fine sweater.

Are walk-ins allowed?

Yes! Come on in and we'll get you set up. However, note that certain weekends get completely booked, so reservations are always recommended.

Are food and music allowed in the wreath rooms?

Yes, many groups have parties in the wreath rooms in November and December. Please let us know ahead of time so we can ensure that your food or music does not impact other customers. Please be respectful of others in the rooms.

Can I make something other than a wreath?

Yes! We also have wreath "rings" in a few other shapes. Note that a few of the shapes can be challenging, so ask for help.
