Evergreens are most traditionally used, such as pine branches or holly. Pine Has that distinct woodland smell to it, and florists use this commonly for the natural fragrance. The wreath can be decorated with other items such as pine cones, ivy, berries, dried fruits, natural twigs, cinnamon sticks, babbles, ribbon - the list goes on. Wreaths are perfect for adding a touch of personality, as local florist can bespoke make them in the colours, textures and scents at your request.
