HOW TO CREATE A VICTORIAN WREATH

Dove Originals Details How To Create A Wonderful Victorian Wreath

I love both Victorian decor and wreaths, so it was perfectly natural to bring both together in a very large wreath that hangs on a door in my dining room. This Victorian wreath measures about 32 inches across and literally "grew" over time. By 

that I mean it started as a modest 12 inch wreath that I simply added to as time, whim, and materials allowed.

I began with a 12 inch wire wreath form and created a base using dried Silver King artemisia that I grow in my garden. Silver King is a beautiful perennial, easy to grow, and not invasive like it's native cousin mugwort.

Dried Silver King lasts for years without deteriorating and makes an ideal base for any herb wreath.

I harvest artemisia in the fall when the heads are fully open and stand it upright in baskets to dry. That way the heads tend to droop a bit which helps them to conform to the round wreath form. Once the artemisia is thoroughly dried I  gather bunches of it together, cut off the bottom stems,  and use florist wire to hold the bunches in place on the form, overlapping them as I go around. You want the base of your wreath to be full, so you will need a substantial amount of dried material. This process on how to make an ornament wreath is what I follow for all of the herbal, flower, and silk wreaths that I make.

Once the base was completed for my Victorian wreath, I gathered up a variety of materials: silk stems, velvet flowers, pearlized grapes, dried hydrangea flowers, leaves, etc. Some flowers were salvaged from floral arrangements I no longer wanted and others were simply dried materials from my garden 

purple colored wreath

such as hydrangea, rosemary, lavender, bay, etc. My favorites, 

however, are the velvet flowers often used on millinery that I have collected over time. I used all sizes, colors, and shapes and did no pre-planning but rather let the wreath literally take shape on its own, balancing color as I pushed in another stem here and there. Over time- as I spotted an attractive flower or two on sale- these too were added to the wreath. The artemisia base works exceedingly well holding everything in place as I added layers of flowers, trims, fruits, leaves, and more, including the occasional Christmas ball. I'm calling my Victorian wreath completed at this time as it barely fits on the door, but if I spot a lovely purple velvet rose, all bets are off.

    When people hear about crypto scams, their typical reaction is disbelief, as if it only happens to careless or reckless individuals. Before I share my experience, if you’re in need of a reliable crypto asset and fund recovery service, their contact information is listed below.

    My family fell victim to a crypto investment scam that wiped out nearly everything we had worked so hard to build. We lost $407,000 worth of USDT and Bitcoin earlier this year, funds that represented years of savings, hard work, and dreams for the future.
    It all began with what appeared to be a legitimate investment opportunity. We were contacted, or more accurately, targeted by individuals claiming to represent a well-established crypto trading platform. They were smooth, articulate, and came armed with all the hallmarks of a trustworthy financial institution. This led us to believe they were legitimate, and we began investing with them. Unfortunately, we soon discovered they were fraudsters. By the time we realized the truth, our investment had vanished. All communication ceased, and there was no way to reach them.
    The story didn’t end there. While the emotional toll was immense, we were desperate for answers and reached out to everyone we knew who might be able to help. A family friend introduced us to a group called Morphohack, a team specializing in digital asset and cryptocurrency recovery. Their contact information is provided above.
    Morphohack was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. After conducting their investigation, they successfully recovered our funds within a few days. Thanks to their meticulous documentation and coordination with the relevant authorities, we were able to reclaim the full $407,000.
    Morphohack accomplished what we thought was impossible, and we are deeply grateful for their outstanding work and support

    Utrata pieniędzy może być okropna. Zwykle wpędza w spiralę rozpaczy, co dokładnie przydarzyło mi się. Zainwestowałem pieniądze na platformie i wszystko wydawało się legalne, dopóki nie zdałem sobie sprawy, że zostałem oszukany. Przez kilka dni byłem przygnębiony, aż jeden z użytkowników jednej ze społeczności, które obserwowałem, wspomniał, że zna platformę, która mogłaby mi pomóc. Dałem im szansę, mimo moich obaw i był to najlepszy wybór w moim życiu. Moje pieniądze zostały odzyskane w ciągu kilku godzin. Zachowaj ostrożność i upewnij się, że wiesz, w co inwestujesz.

    CRYPTOCURRENCY AND ASSETS RECOVERY CONSULTANT CONTACT SLAYER COIN RECOVERY
    The morning of February 12, 2025, is indelibly etched in my memory. As I opened my crypto wallet, my heart plummeted my entire:: Dogecoin balance, a staggering $63,500 that I had painstakingly invested over several months, had vanished without a trace. A wave of panic surged through me as I desperately sought to comprehend the magnitude of my loss.For three agonizing weeks, I encountered nothing but dead ends. I filed reports with the exchange, submitted an endless stream of support tickets, and even consulted blockchain analysts all to no avail. Each response, laden with the disheartening phrase “We regret to inform you,” crushed my hope further. Sleepless nights were spent scrolling through crypto forums, where I encountered harrowing tales of irreversible losses that only deepened my despair and sense of helplessness.Then, on March 5th, a glimmer of hope emerged. My colleague Mark, who had endured a nearly identical hack the previous year, urged me to contact SLAYER COIN RECOVERY. “They’re the only ones who can help,” he insisted with conviction. Though I was skeptical after so many disappointments, my desperation compelled me to reach out.What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. The recovery process was remarkably efficient and thorough. Within just 72 hours, their team of forensic experts had traced my stolen DOGE through a labyrinth of dummy wallets meticulously designed to obscure the theft. By day seven, they had successfully cracked the hacker’s liquidation pattern, identifying the exchanges being utilized to cash out the stolen funds. On March 15th a mere ten days after I first contacted them I was left in stunned relief as I watched my entire Dogecoin balance reappear in my wallet. The sheer joy and disbelief I felt were overwhelming.
