There's something magical about Christmas wreaths which give a beautiful touch to any living space at this time of year.

Last week we gave a guide on how to make your own, using willow whips and everything from pine branches to fruit to decorate.

But for those without the time to do it themselves, or who simply prefer the expert touch, we asked four leading florists to show off some of their best wreaths.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
