How to Make a Bee Evergreen Floral Wreath

If you love cheerful spring and summer wreaths, this Bee Evergreen Floral Wreath is such a fun project to make. It combines evergreen mesh, bright yellow florals, black-and-white ribbon, and adorable bee accents for a design that feels fresh, playful, and full of personality. This wreath is perfect for anyone who loves bee décor, garden-inspired designs, or wants to create something unique for the front door. In this project, the mesh helps build a full base, while the florals and embellishments add color, texture, and charm. The finished wreath has lots of movement, layered ribbon, and sweet little bee details that really bring it to life.

One of the best things about this wreath is how the mesh base helps save on florals while still giving a full, colorful foundation. I begin by using evergreen mesh with white snowy detail to cover the base quickly and economically. I cut the mesh into 20-inch pieces and place them around the wreath in loose, messy ruffles with a bit of curl. This creates a soft woodland-style base without needing everything to be perfectly neat. The goal is simply to color up the wreath form and make it ready for the larger design elements. If you want a fuller look, you can cut your mesh shorter, around 15 inches, and add more pieces as needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by adding your mesh to the wreath frame. Cut the evergreen mesh into 20-inch pieces and attach them in loose ruffles around the frame. Don’t worry about making the ruffles perfect. A slightly messy look works beautifully here and helps the base feel more natural and full. The mesh is mainly there to provide coverage, color, and texture behind the florals and ribbon. Continue filling in the frame until the base looks balanced and evenly covered.

Next, make your main bow. I like to add my biggest design elements first after the base, so the bow becomes a focal point for the wreath. I use a large double-sided ribbon, then layer in yellow ribbon, black-and-white ribbon, black ribbon, and white ribbon. The loops are made large, around 7 inches for the first layer, and 6 inches for the next, with shorter specialty ribbon tails curled for extra movement. This layered bow is full and dramatic, with the black and white details helping the bee theme stand out. Once the bow is shaped and fluffed, attach it securely to the upper portion of the wreath frame with a zip tie.

After the main bow is attached, create a smaller coordinating bow for the lower side of the wreath. This second bow balances the design and helps draw the eye across the wreath. Use shorter ribbon tails and smaller loops, but keep the same ribbon combination so it coordinates with the main bow. Attach it slightly off to one side rather than directly underneath the first bow. This gives the wreath a more designer-style look and prevents everything from feeling too symmetrical.

Now it’s time for the fun part: adding the embellishments and florals. Place your bee house and bee accents around the wreath, spacing them so they are easy to see. I keep the little bees spread out rather than clustering them all together, which helps the eye travel around the wreath and lets each accent stand out. Some of the bee picks include pip berries and decorative leaves, which add even more texture and whimsy. Position one bee near the bee house for a cute themed moment, then scatter the others throughout the design.

Once the embellishments are in place, start layering in your yellow and white florals. Tuck yellow flowers toward the inside and around the bows to bring warmth and brightness into the wreath. Then add white florals throughout to soften the look and create contrast against the darker ribbons and greenery. Be sure to angle the stems outward instead of laying them flat. This makes the wreath feel more dimensional and gives it that full, finished look. I always make sure the elements come outward because that is what really gives the wreath personality.

Finish by filling in with greenery. I use textured mossy picks and eucalyptus stems to fill gaps and make the design look more natural. Because some of the floral picks already include greenery, I add these final greenery stems later to soften open spaces and blend everything together. Add a little extra yellow floral near the lower bow and in any spots that look bare. Then step back, lift the wreath, and check for empty areas. This final check helps spot anything missing so you can tuck in a last floral stem or bee accent before calling it complete.
