Inside the Shop: The Art of Making Rockdale Wreaths by Hand

Welcome to Rockdale Wreaths

At Rockdale Wreaths, we pride ourselves on creating premium quality, handcrafted wreaths that bring the spirit of the holidays into every home. Nestled in the heart of Maine, we specialize in balsam wreath making, using fresh balsam to ensure each wreath is not only beautiful but also fragrant.

The Wreath Making Process

Understanding how wreaths are made is essential to appreciating their beauty. Our wreath shop behind the scenes reveals a meticulous wreath making process that combines traditional techniques with modern craftsmanship.

1. Gathering Fresh Balsam

The journey begins with sourcing the finest fresh balsam. This evergreen is known for its aromatic qualities, making it a preferred choice for holiday wreath production. We select only the best balsam from local suppliers, ensuring our materials are of premium quality.

2. Preparing the Base

Once we have our fresh balsam, the next step involves creating the wreath's base. This is typically done using sturdy wire, which provides the necessary support for the greens. Proper wreath wiring is crucial, as it ensures the wreath maintains its shape throughout the season.

3. Assembling the Wreath

Now comes the fun part: assembling the wreath! Our skilled artisans meticulously hand tie each piece of balsam to the base. This is where evergreen wreath craftsmanship shines. Each bundle is carefully placed to create a lush, full appearance. Here are a few tips for making wreaths at home:

• Use fresh materials: Ensure your greens are fresh to maintain fragrance and appearance.
• Securely tie greens: Use strong wire to ensure everything stays in place.
• Layer thoughtfully: Mix different types of greens for texture and depth.

4. Adding Decorative Elements

To make our handmade wreaths Maine truly unique, we often add decorative elements such as ribbons, berries, and pine cones. These additions enhance the overall aesthetic and allow for personalization. If you’re making wreaths at home, consider the following:

• Choose a theme: Decide on a color scheme or style to guide your decoration choices.
• Balance your design: Distribute decorative elements evenly for a harmonious look.

5. Final Touches and Quality Check

Once the decorative elements are in place, each wreath undergoes a quality check. Our team ensures that every piece meets our standards of premium quality before it is shipped to customers. This attention to detail is what sets Rockdale Farm Wreaths apart.
