Decorate your front door, walls and dining tables, and even your head with flower wreaths. Organised around the seasons of the year, this book has 40 flower projects for all occasions, from the first longing for spring and budding greenery via summer light and harvest time to Christmas and winter rest. All wreaths have clear step-by-step instructions in text and pictures.

Written by florist, photographer and writer Malin Bjorkholm, whose wreaths and flower arrangements have become famous on Instagram due to their simplicity and use of natural materials. Projects in this book include an enchanting bright yellow mimosa flower wreath for spring, a traditional midsummer Swedish flower crown, a striking circlet of dried flowers and berries for autumn and a classic door wreath with pine cones for Christmas.
