Surprisingly, you won’t need a traditional wreath form. With just four mini grapevine wreaths, a selection of your favorite springtime flowers, and a little creativity, you’ll craft a unique and welcoming wreath that whispers “cottage” in the most delightful way.

Cottage Garden Inspiration: Fresh Blooms on Mini Wreaths
What I love about cottage garden style is that it combines pretty flowers with simple looks to create a charming home.
This wreath project captures those elements with its natural wreath base and cheerful Spring blooms.
Unlike a traditional single wreath, using multiple mini wreaths adds a touch of whimsy perfectly suited to the cottagecore style.
The best part of this project is choosing your flowers!
Materials To Create This Wreath At Home
- 4 Mini Grapevine Wreaths
- Floral Wire
- Flowers (I’m using 4 different)
- Sharp Scissors
What’s Different About This Wreath?
This wreath is a little unique in that the base is 4 mini wreaths that I will show you how to attach together to create a clover shape. Once it’s covered with pretty blooms it looks so beautiful!
Choosing Your Flowers
For this project, you will want to find small, delicate flowers to use since they will be attached to mini-sized wreaths. Now, if you make this using larger 8 or 10-inch grapevine wreaths (which is on my to-do list for Summer) then you could use larger blooms.
Think baby’s breath, statice, wax flowers, or other delicate flowers.
My flowers for this project (and also a for coordinating swag) are from Trader Joe’s. It’s my #1 spot for fresh flowers & greenery…plus they have the best prices.
Although I am using 4 different flowers this wreath could be made with 2 or 3 types, or even just one for a monochromatic look.
Making The Wreath: Step-by-Step
Let me teach you step-by-step how to recreate this wreath at home.
Attaching The Wreaths
The first step to making the flower wreaths is to make the base. This is done by first wiring 2 wreaths together and then attaching the 2 sets together to form the clover shape.
Place 2 of the wreaths side by side. Wrap floral wire around the center to attach them together. Ignore the floral wire running up the side of the top wreath in the photo, it’s leftover from when I used it for another project.
Repeat for the other set of 2 mini wreaths.
Next, just wire the 2 sets together to form the clover shape. Place the 2 sets even with each other and wrap the floral wire paddle around the unattached wreaths to secure.
Start Adding Flowers
Now it’s time for the fun part, start adding little bundles of flowers to cover the grapevine wreaths.
I snipped small bundles of each flower leaving short stems and wrapped them gently with floral wire.
Then all I did was wire each bundle to the grapevine wreath.
When making this wreath it is important to pick a direction and stick to it!! You either want to have all your flowers going clockwise or counterclockwise.
There’s not a right or wrong choice…just what you prefer.
Since I am using 4 different flowers I just alternated each flower and followed the same pattern for each mini wreath..
Make sure there isn’t any space between flower bundles and be generous with the flowers because once they start to naturally dry out they will shrink in size a bit.
Once you have finished a wreath move on to the next one starting where the 2 wreaths meet.
Using a paddle of floral wire makes this wreath pretty easy to make, the only spots where I had to cut a piece of wire to attach a bundle of flowers were where the wreaths met because the paddle was too bulky to wrap around.
As the wreaths filled in with flowers I really fell in love with this one! I’ve made so many wreaths here over the past few years and I think this one is so charming.
Finished Wreath: Now What??
The nice thing about this cottage garden-style wreath is that you can use it in a few different ways. Of course, you can hang it on a door (you just want to avoid direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading away fast).
One idea that I use quite often is to hang a wreath on a mirror. Below you can see how I used a Command hook to hang this blooming wreath on the front of an antique mirror in my living room.
Remember, this project is just a starting point. The possibilities are endless! Your wreath is a reflection of your unique style and love for natural elements. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flower combinations and designs as the seasons change.
