Growing our own balsam trees ensures top quality wreaths
Posted by S. on 2/15/2012
Learn what separates Worcester Wreath Co. from the rest
Growing our own balsam trees at the Worcester Wreath Co. has made a huge difference in the quality of products that we can deliver to customers.
When we started in business, like other wreath makers, we had to buy balsam from anybody that would gather and you got what they delivered, no matter what the quality. If it was inferior, you had to buy it, because we had to make the product anyway.
The Symbolism of a Wreath
Posted by S. on 2/6/2012
Although the balsam wreaths we make at Worcester Wreath Co. are most often associated with the Christmas season, the wreath itself has a rich history of symbolism.
 
In ancient Greece and Rome, wreaths were known as diadems, from the Greek "diadema," which means "a thing bound around." Wreaths were worn or hung to represent a person's occupation, rank and status.
Wreaths made of laurel were associated with the Greek god Apollo, known as the god of life and light. One myth describes Apollo's romantic pursuit of the nymph Daphne. She fled and asked for help from the river god, Peneus, who turned her into a laurel tree. From then on, Apollo wore a laurel wreath on his head, and the wreath became associated with the characteristics of Apollo --victory, achievement and status.
Super Bowl Party Tips
Posted by S. on 1/30/2012
Super Bowl parties are one of the top at-home party events of the year. Super Bowl parties have become much more than a gathering of football lovers. In fact, many people attending these parties don't love football as much as they love the excuse to get together with friends at the end of the very boring month of January.
