Recently came across this unusual and unusually beautiful arrangement of baby flowering kale {above} and was reminded of a Swedish florist who created wonderful wreathes of fruits and vegetables . . .
Amazingly creative wreathes made of everyday {edible} objects such as artichokes, Brussels sprouts and fallen apples that, after careful arrangement, become anything but ordinary, and add a charming twist to festive tradition.

that apple wreath is gorgeous. wouldn't it be pretty if it alternated between red and green apples? hmm, i think i'm getting inspired :)
what fun! love the brussel sprouts :)
How clever :) I'm with Joanna, I love the Brussel sprouts :)
Aaaw they're gorgeous and really original!
beautiful. the pictures are breathtaking too. Earthy, edible Christmas!
I often skip over flower-related posts, as I'm not too into them - but these are fabulous! I love the artichoke one - that is BRILLIANT!
How gorgeous! I like the wreath of apples, it makes me love fall even more. :)
I love the green and purple hues of the artichoke wreaths. Lovely and original.
What great wreath ideas. Brussel sprouts- who would have thought they would look so beautiful!
How beautiful..who says that arrangements just have to be flowers.
These are gorgeous! Last year my mom got Kale, put them in terracotta pots, and set them up in her vintage plant stand.
that very well may be the best use for brussels sprouts ever.
LOL ana dane -- brussels sprouts are most likely the only food item that I'm not fond of :)
I adore those wreaths! Especially the green fallen apples one. It's incredible the beautiful things you can do with a little of imagination!
Have a wonderful weekend, darling!

fun fun. i love all the green.
I love the artichokes and the brussel sprouts. What a creative beautiful way to make a wreath. Carla
What a gorgeous post. I also love how you are framing your pictures - nice touch!
How creative! I think the fallen apples is my favorite or perhaps the brussels sprouts (since they are usually left uneaten on most people's plates).
Absolutely beautiful!
Tres Chic...lovin the first pic of flowers in the urn.

I'm dying over the flowers in the urn...are they cabbages?
Super sweet!
I'm in love with the cabbage flowers in the urn!
As usual, the pics are beautiful.
I love the mix of the colors !
Brussels sprouts? That's ingenious.
These are perfect. Artichokes have never looked so good!
soooooooo pretty.
That has to be the best thing to do with a brussel sprout.
Simply Beautiful...
very elegant. i wouldn't have thought of half of these. awesome arrangements.
They're beautiful. Eco-friendly too: I don't think they would spoil quickly so you can still eat them after Christmas :)
