Earlier this month, I went to Brown's restaurant in Ruislip where Nadine from Ruislip Flowers was hosting a festive wreath-making activity with buffet provided. I have always wanted to try wreath-making. We could get drinks from the bar, and there was a buffet put on for us to enjoy whilst we were making our wreaths.
We could choose from a selection of decorations to add to our wreaths from orange slices, cinnamon sticks, baubles, faux plants (roses, holly, frosted pines, flowers), candy canes, bows, pine cones, lotus hads, and ribbons. I selected the cinnamon sticks, frosted faux pines, and orange slices. I gave up on the orange slices as they would not stick.
We were shown how to add the stems of pine and evergreenery to the wreath.
At the end, I had created a gorgeous wreath.
We had a buffet that contained a mixture of fish, salmon, mini hamburgers, mini turkey sandwiches, fries, potatoes, sweetcorn fritters, and salad. We also received a cracker, and I got a small thimble in mine.
I can a picante cocktail that I sipped during the wreath-making.
I was exhausted after the long day. This activity would be better to do with friends, but I went on my own.
The wreath is now hanging on my door and looks very festive.
