Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prep Your Grapevine Wreath
Start with your 14-inch grapevine wreath base. Fluff it out a little by removing any extra twigs or debris and find the side you’d like to use as the top. This helps create a balanced design.
Create a Bow
Using your polka dot and cabana stripe ribbons, layer the two together to create a simple, eye-catching bow. You can use a bow maker or do this by hand. Make 3 loops on each side, then secure the bow with floral wire or a zip tie. Fluff out the loops and dovetail your ribbon ends for a finished look.
Attach the Bow to the Wreath
Position the bow slightly off-center, around the 10 or 2 o’clock mark, and secure it tightly to the grapevine with floral wire or by using the grapevine branches themselves. This will be the focal point of your design.
Add Filler Greenery
Cut apart the filler greenery bush into smaller sections and begin gluing the pieces around the bow. Be sure to spread them out so they peek out from behind your flowers and ribbon. This step helps build your base layer and adds texture.
Insert the Yellow & White Poppy Bushes
Take your two mixed poppy bushes and cut them into individual stems. Begin placing the yellow and white blooms around the bow area, spreading them out in both directions along the grapevine. Focus on creating movement and keeping your stems flowing with the curve of the wreath.
Add White Blossom Bush Accents
Snip off a few pieces from the white blossom bush and tuck them in between your poppies and greenery to break up the color and add a bit more volume.
Adjust and Fill In
Step back and take a look. Fill in any bare spots with leftover greenery or flower stems until your grapevine wreath for summer looks full and balanced.
Tips for Success:
- Mix ribbon patterns for a more playful summer vibe.
- Always fluff your bow loops and tails to give it life.
- Don’t be afraid to cut apart bushes—it helps with spreading out color and texture.

Whether you’re decorating for a gathering or just want to brighten your porch, this wreath for summer will definitely bring the sunshine vibes. And thanks to the flexible grapevine base, you can even swap out the florals to update it for different seasons.
