People here have given you some good answers. One person's instructions had one really serious error that I feel I must point out, so you don't do it. If your wreath will be using an oasis, you must THOROUGHLY soak it in warm water with a floral preservative for at least a 1/2 hour. It may appear to be whetted all the way through, and still be dry in the middle. Once you insert your flower stems, they may end up in this still dry section of the foam. This, of course, will hasten their demise. If you are going to use silk or dry flowers, get blocks of Sahara floral foam at a florist (it's brown). It is much sturdier than what you find in a craft store.

You can buy soft floral foam hearts for wreaths. They are usually green. If you are wanting to do a live wreath this would be good because it holds water. If you are doing it with silk flowers you can also get it in regular white foam. If you are doing a silk arrangement buy some ribbon to wrap the base in. Make sure to buy enough flowers and greenery to hide the base of it also.

go to your local florist and ask for an oasis heart, this is made from a sponge like foam which holds all your flowers in place and is the key to making a finished product you are happy with. then buy your flowers and give them a good drink of warm water.
run the foam under the tap and pour off exess water and after your flowers have had a good drink for an hour cut the stems to a couple of inches and push them into the foam until the design pleases you...
good luck

yes i would buy some kinda greenery. you can sometimes buy them in shaped heart. then you buy or pick out flowers you want ot put on them you can buy this stuff from craft store little wires to use to ut them on with. its fun. but it can be expensive depending how much workyou put inot it. sometimes you can go to places where they have big sales and buy up stuff ot make that or do. its easier to watch sales and buy them but the heart shapped ones are around you have to look you could do it with coat hanger. shape it and go. buy your own greens and stuff. but you have ot make it full.
