Your decorating personality starts at the front door where a wreath is the equivalent of the little black dress of Christmas decorations. You can sign up for a wreathmaking class with florists The Crate on Wednesday, December 5th, which takes place at The Jar on Dublin’s Camden Street. The class, which includes a glass of bubbly and festive treats on arrival as well as all materials, costs €75, which may seem steep but if you end up with something that resembles this design, you’ll be bursting with pride. Or you could cheat and buy one of these already beautifully formed wicker designs from Neptune, which range in price from €50 to €64, or a baby’s breath design complete with satin ribbon to hang it, which costs from €175 to €255 at all branches of Lamber de Bie.  thecrate.com; neptune.com; lamberdebie.ie
