"The next step is once you have gotten your main flowers in and your focal flowers into the arrangement, you want them to be able to stand out a lot stronger than what they are so the easiest way to do that is to take and start adding your greeneries.

You can use a heavier flower or heavier leaf or something bigger or different colors or shapes if you are going to do a fall wreath you would add fall leaves. I grab the corner, twist it down into the end and then just slide it on down into the arrangement turning it and twisting it so that it looks good for the way you are viewing it as well as working with your flowers and what you are trying to achieve here. What the greenery does is tend to add some color and some bulk into the flower arrangement and give you contrast to jump it off the background that you are working with. So your next step would be to go ahead and add the greenery to it which is going to give you your bulk and depth and define your wreath better."
