What Base to Use for an Easter Wreath?
As easter wreaths often contain an abundance of flowers, a moss base wrapped over a wire frame can work fantastically. The moss can create an oasis for your flowers and greenery and if it is watered regularly it will keep them looking luscious and full of colour.

What Decorations Look Great on Easter Wreaths?
