Story of Lux Wreaths

A few of you know, I make wreaths. This is something that I started after being on the decorations committee for Junior League of Collin County's Neath the Wreath. One day they called and said I need to come in and make wreaths, something I have never done before. Well surprise surprise, I wasn't making one wreath, it was MANY wreath. After many hours of making the same wreath over and over, I got pretty good at it.

One of the many wreaths that we made

So anyway, I went home and was INSPIRED (an incredibly scary word in this household) to make a Halloween wreath. So I went and got a christmas wreath, white deco mesh, letters, spiders, ornaments, and made a Halloween wreath. Once I brought it home, Tony looked at it and said:

"Um... Isn't that a Christmas Wreath?!?!"

My response was simple: "NO! It say's BOO... clearly it's a Halloween wreath".

So after many other wreaths that were made, I promise I will not put all the pictures up on line here, Tony convinced me to create my own company. That is how Lux Wreaths was born. I have sold two other wreaths, but what I didn't think about was that... um... people want to buy Christmas wreaths before Thanksgiving. But big plans for next year!!

This year (as in 2014) I was given a very special opportunity to work with a woman who is a realtor. Her special gift to her clients is a homemade wreath. The company she usually uses did not have any spring wreaths made and she needed one pretty soon. So her card was passed on to me and we had a very lovely chit chat.

I am currently in the process of completing an amazing spring wreath that I hope she loves. I'll attach pictures of it, simply because, well, I am so proud of this wreath!

Oh, and I made this other wreath last night as well. I have never made a grapevine wreath, and really it is not my style as much. But the trend for wreaths, and young people buying wreaths is the grapevine wreath. So, of course, I had to make at least one.
