Most Christmas wreaths are made with fresh pine that drops needles by New Year's Eve. Yours won't. We build with preserved flowers and foliage — real plants treated so they keep their softness and colour for six years or more, no water and no maintenance needed. You choose your own palette from our full range of preserved eucalyptus, dried blooms and seasonal foliage, then learn the composition principles that separate a balanced wreath from a cluttered one. Nothing is pre-assembled and there's no model to copy, so every wreath leaves the studio different. Drinks and snacks are on us, the atelier is a small, warm space in the heart of Paris, and you walk out the same evening with a decoration you'll unpack again every December.
