8. The Monogrammed Satin Sash Wreath
For a personalized touch that exudes classic southern charm, a monogrammed sash wreath is an elegant choice. This design is incredibly simple to assemble but looks highly sophisticated and custom-made.
Start with a lush, faux boxwood or eucalyptus wreath. Rather than attaching a traditional bow, you will create a wide ribbon sash. Select a wide, high-quality wired satin or canvas ribbon (at least 3 to 4 inches wide) in a contrasting color, such as ivory or black. Drape the ribbon through the center hole of the wreath, wrapping it around the top loop so the two long tails hang down evenly through the middle. Use a fabric marker, embroidery, or a vinyl cutting machine to apply your family’s last initial to one of the hanging tails. Secure the sash at the top of the wreath with a hidden wire, allowing the personalized tails to sway elegantly.
