i made all my own last year, well over 100, bought the frames, moss and cupressus, and a guy i know got me a load of holly for free, managed to knock them out for £6-£10 quid, and they cost me around £1 to make, only make them yourself if you have the time, i bought in the blue spruce ones cos they were less popular, got the big ones for £4 each from my supplier

My God,
My supplier, the one who let me down was charging £7.50 for his and the ones I did get to see were absolute rubbish!!!!
You guys down there have gotit made.

Ive always made my own.Trouble is now every skanker round here sells wreaths for less than a tenner so you have to make your own to make any money.One thing that did go well last year was holly posy pads for the crem at £6.00 each.I always keep half a dozen wreaths back for the last minute brigade who will pay that bit more because they suddenly realise they havent put a wreath on the graveNormally do about 200 and a few crosses all holly as they seem to be the most popular trimmed with usual stuff.Bloody hard work though.
ZOE

we make ours as the ones of the wholesaler down here are naff, when we start to get busy on the flowers and orders, i will buy them in and tart them up.our plane holly wreaths with cones and berries start at 7.50, blue pine start at 15.00
