Alternatives to holly wreaths

I just wonder if anyone would be interested to know that as a trial I tried offering alternatives to the already well established holly wreaths at my open day on Sunday.
I get a lot of orders for wreaths, but when talking to the customers and making up a few different things I now have orders for 4 holly anchors,( it is a fishing village) 3 sprays, 4 crosses, and 1 football.
Might be worth a thought as you can charge so much more. Just trying to offer something different to keep us ahead of the dreaded supermarkets

Good idea, I'm going to try hearts and crosses and some small double enders, nobody else round here does anything like that, it's just a case of persuading the punters to try something different.

Last year did small cushions with lots of different foliages with just 4 groups of flowers 3 roses 3 large carnations small carnations and group of red berries these went down very well and now have 3 customers ordering the large size cushion from these 2 of them have ordered through the year one has bought 4 the other 3 and have their order in for xmas
