Are you looking for a fun pop of color to welcome in summer? Then you’ll die over this gorgeous, BRIGHT Orange Sunflower Summertime Wreath. It screams color, fun, and happiness and will put you in the perfect mood for summer! The best part is that this wreath comes together by using clusters of flowers in a snap, so you can enjoy your wreath without spending hours creating it.
Beautiful Orange Sunflower Summertime Wreath
Summer is my favorite time of year, especially spending so much time outside. I was in my yard earlier today and realized I needed a beautiful summer wreath for my gate. I have been loving oranges and yellows, so I knew that I wanted to use those colors for a fun and happy summertime wreath.
When I found these gorgeous orange sunflowers that made the perfect pop of color for this wreath because we are clustering them, I added yellow Allium for another color, and a couple of Poppy Azalea Stems brought the whole wreath together. It’s so easy because the greenery is already there for you!
It couldn’t be easier to assemble this wreath. Using a grapevine base simplifies this project, but it packs a punch! It looks like it belongs right on my gate and in nature.
Chunky grapevine wreaths are also so forgiving. Don’t be afraid to try layouts before you glue your flowers on! You can use the stems and temporarily stick them into the grapevine without worrying about damaging the wreath. Simply pull it out when you need to move a flower around and stick it somewhere else. Add glue as your last step when you’re sure of your placement.

Ingredients
Orange Satin Sunflower Bush
Chartreuse Dried Spanish Moss
Directions
- Start with your 14” grapevine wreath and your bunches of Yellow Allium. Push the greenery on the individual Allium bunches up to be flush with the flowers. Your flowers on this wreath will be very close to the wreath base.
- Cut each Allium bunch off the bush, leaving a 4” stem to work with.
Starting on the outside of your wreath and working in a zigzag pattern, begin placing your Allium bunches into your wreath, working up the wreath. Add the bunches in groups of two, adding glue to the base of each bunch when you are sure of your placement. - When you’ve placed your first bunch, move up a couple of inches and place two bunches toward the inside of your wreath base. Continue this pattern until you’ve reached the top of your wreath. When you’re at the top of your wreath, change directions so that your flowers are pointing down. Continue working in a zigzag pattern down the wreath. Leave about 6”-8” of your wreath without flowers for some visual difference in your wreath.
- When you’re finished with your Allium, grab your Orange Satin Sunflower Bush and push the greenery on the individual flowers up to be flush with the base of the flower. Cut each Sunflower off the bush, leaving a 4” stem to work with. Continuing to use bunches of two flowers, begin filling in the gaps between the bunches of Allium, working in a zigzag pattern up the wreath.
- Just like with the Allium, when you reach the top of your wreath, change the direction of your Sunflowers and continue down the wreath, leaving that 6’-8” gap on the wreath base. Lastly, grab your Poppy Azalea Stems.
- These will act as your greenery. Trim the stems to 1”, and place them in the wreath to fill in any gaps and add dimension. Let some pieces hang into the center or pop out of the top. This is where your wreath becomes your own!
How long does a grapevine wreath last?
Grapevine wreaths last well outside in the elements. The decorations and flowers on your wreath will likely fade long before your grapevine wreath has any issues.
Can my wreath get wet?
The general rule is that your wreath can get wet. The grapevine wreath base won’t have any problem getting wet. The issue is the flowers. They will get worn out by the weather, especially high winds. If you bring your wreath in when there is weather, it will last longer.

Directions

- Cut Black Garland Base into small sections and set your base, spreading for maximum coverage.
- Prep your picks by grabbing your Purple Green Orange Felt Ball Twig Sprays. Sseparating them into smaller picks. You can also twist the black chenille around your finger to create a fun effect.
- Trim your Glitter Eye Ball Picks and add to the stryofoam. Be sure to space them for the best visual display.
- Cut and prep the White Black Chenille Curly Stems add some dimension to them by curling with your fingers to really give them life.
- Stem back and look at your your centerpiece. Are thier bald or blank spaces? Fluff you black garland to fill and use the wires in your products from Keleas.com to really get the pieces where you want them.
- Grab one of your Glitter Curly Velvet Ball Picks and trim the stem down to a couple of inches. Fluff out your pick, and then place it to the left of your bow, tucking it behind the bow to have it peek out from behind it.
