Welcome to Little & Wild Wreaths

Hi there! And welcome to Little & Wild Wreaths. 

Now… you may be wondering how on earth you’ve ended up on a photography website when you were looking for a wreath workshop.

Don’t worry... You’re absolutely in the right place.  And suddenly, my flower crown meets goddess creative experiences all make sense! 

I run relaxed, creative wreath making workshops with added luxury across Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, using beautiful seasonal foliage and natural materials.

BE FIRST ON THE GUEST LIST

Join the Little & Wild Wreaths mailing list to be the first to hear about upcoming seasonal wreath workshops, new dates and those quietly released spaces that have a habit of disappearing rather quickly.

It’s also where I’ll share a little extra — seasonal inspiration, wreath-making ideas, behind-the-scenes glimpses and early access to new workshops and offerings, all wrapped up in the cosy, creative spirit of Little & Wild Wreaths.

No noise, no endless emails — just lovely things, beautiful wreaths and a little bit of seasonal magic.

Thanks for submitting!

What to Expect From Your Wreath Workshop

If you’ve never made a wreath before, don’t worry. You absolutely do not need to be “crafty”, and there is no requirement to have any previous experience whatsoever.

You just need to turn up, grab a cuppa (or something slightly stronger, depending on the venue), and be prepared to get your hands a little bit covered in greenery.

This year’s workshops will be the same lovely, luxury experience you’ve come to expect from Little & Wild Wreaths — with beautiful natural materials, plenty of choice and, hopefully, very few arguments with your wreath.

You’ll start with a bare frame and learn how to build your wreath from the ground up. I’ll show you how to wire your frame, add the moss and then create and attach individual bunches of fresh foliage until your wreath starts to take shape.

And this is where the magic happens.

I’ll be bringing a beautiful selection of premium fresh foliages for you to work with. Last year’s selection included Norway spruce, Nordmann fir, pine, tree ivy, eucalyptus, Leylandii and conifer, and I’m planning another gorgeous mix of textures, colours and scents for this season.

Once your greenery is looking suitably impressive, you can make it completely your own.

There’ll be my hand-tied luxury ribbon bows to choose from in a range of colours, along with plenty of festive finishing touches — think pine cones, lotus seed heads, dried citrus slices and my rather lovely hand-tied cinnamon stick bundles.

You can keep things beautifully simple and natural, go full festive fabulous, or land somewhere in between. There really is no right answer — although I may gently intervene if you try to attach half the contents of the decoration table.

The best bit?

You’ll leave with a completely unique wreath that you’ve made yourself — something beautiful, natural and wonderfully festive to hang on your door and enjoy throughout Christmas and well into January.

And, of course, you’ll have spent a few hours doing something creative, surrounded by lovely people, beautiful greenery and the smell of Christmas.

Which is really rather hard to beat.

My Story

Little & Wild is my creative little corner of the world, and while photography is one of my main loves, wreath making has been another rather significant string to my bow for a very long time.

I’ve been making wreaths for over 20 years and running wreath workshops for more than six years — so by now I feel reasonably qualified to tell you where to put a pine cone.

I love working with natural materials, getting creative and, most importantly, teaching people how to make something beautiful themselves. I love the fact that everyone’s wreath ends up a little bit different, and there is something rather lovely about spending an evening surrounded by greenery, good company and a table covered in foliage.

And yes, I particularly love Christmas.

Possibly an unreasonable amount.

Before Little & Wild came along, I was a teacher, and I have a Master’s degree in Education. I’ve always loved teaching and working with people, so running wreath workshops feels like a rather lovely combination of two things I enjoy: being creative and helping people learn something new.

Then life took a few unexpected turns.

Alongside my husband, I spent eight years at the helm of our family’s independent pub, restaurant and B&B. So, as you can probably imagine, people, events and logistics are very much my thing.

I’ve organised everything from everyday hospitality chaos to much more complicated events, so if you’re looking to host a wreath workshop for your workplace, group of friends, Christmas party, club or private event, I’m very happy to help with more than just the wreaths.

I can help with venues, timings, numbers, layout and all those little details that make the difference between “what a lovely evening!” and “why are 16 people trying to make wreaths on a coffee table?”

Then came my own little people.

When we had children, I became a full-time mum and started building a more creative working life around family. That’s when Little & Wild Photography began to grow, alongside my long-standing love of wreath making.

So these days I’m a photographer, wreath maker, teacher, former publican, event organiser and professional juggler of approximately 47 things at once.

It turns out working around children doesn’t necessarily mean working less.

It just means working before they’re awake, after they’re asleep, during school hours, at weekends and occasionally while stirring dinner.

And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

So whether you’re making your very first wreath, you’re a seasoned wreath-maker, or you’re simply looking for something lovely to do with friends, you’re very welcome here.

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.

Private and group wreath workshops

And if you're thinking

 

“I'd love to host one of these myself…”

Let's make your very own private group workshop happen together.

Get in touch and tell me what you've got in mind. Whether you have a venue already or haven't got past the “wouldn't it be lovely if…” stage, I'm very happy to help you turn the idea into an actual event.

You bring the people. I'll bring the wreaths.

A little note about booking

Some of my seasonal workshops are hosted by lovely venues, and these spaces are booked directly through the venue itself. Others are organised and hosted by Little & Wild Wreaths and can be booked directly with me.

Each workshop listing will make it clear where you need to book, so there’s no need for any detective work. Just choose your date, follow the booking details and I’ll see you there — ready to make some wreath magic.

Please note: Full payment is required to secure your place. Workshop bookings are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another workshop or date. If you can no longer attend, you’re welcome to nominate someone else to take your place — just let me know in advance.

By booking, you confirm that you have read and agree to the Little & Wild Wreaths Booking Policy.

Book Your Workshop

One last thing...

A bit of sparkly magic!

At the bottom of your booking form you will see the option to add fairy lights to your booking.  I will bring these to the workshop for you and help you add them to your wreath.
