These are some of the completed wreaths Beckie and I have made to raise money for our charity for the Chicago Marathon, 10-10-10.
We are running for St. Jude Children's Hospital. The wreaths are $20 with $15 of that going to the charity and the other $5 to cover the cost of materials.
I'm nearly out of fall/rust flowers, but will consider getting more if the demand is there for them. I can make any colors you need, so request away!
I needed to use new red roses, because the ones I was using have been either permanently or temporarily discontinued. These are also easy to work with and very near the same shade of red as the others. Enjoy!

This is a red, black and ivory cascading bouquet. It was made with red roses, and black and ivory sweetheart roses (sweetheart roses are smaller roses than the standard sizes). I also included baby's breath, sheer ivory ribbon, and satin red and black ribbon.
Pictures of the roses up close (sorry, one was pretty dark...hard to get the lighting right on a gloomy day). The bouquet is made of burgundy and white roses, gold berries, red poinsettias, frosted evergreens, gold sheer ribbon and burgundy ribbon. Quite a large bouquet measuring approximately 15" across and 29" long! It got me started feeling the holiday spirit (before Halloween! :D)!
