Default Fiesta wreaths!

Fiesta is nigh upon us! If you know of anyone making Fiesta wreaths (for sale), please dm me their contact details. I am in the market for a new one.

Thanks in advance, and viva Fiesta!

When I read the title of this thread that is exactly the phrase which came to mind.

One of my most prized possessions is an original sketch of a gown with a long train designed for Fiesta by this esteemed woman:

Good luck in finding your wreaths.

Very cool, Merovee! The trains and dresses defy explanation and description. I'm in awe of the creators, designers, and the seamstresses!

Go to Fiesta San Antonio for a rundown - it's San Antonio's biggest party! There are parades and art fairs and food, food, food galore! I usually take the week off work in order to enjoy as much as I can (only taking half the week this year, stupid new project!).

It's a total blast - tons of different events. Just check the website.

Had ours made by a vendor at El Mercado several years ago....did such a great job I had her make our Christmas wreath as well. NOT cheap but TOTALLY worth it! DM me if you are still in the market and I will get the info to you (altho you have to order months in advance to get them from her...she is WONDERFUL!!!!)

If you're looking for fiesta wreaths, there's a lady in Market Square that makes them. She's the only one I saw, and it seemed like people were lining up and placing orders. There were wreaths of different sizes, but she was making them there in her booth/slot. If you come in from Commerce, go to the right. She should be there. She makes them with ribbons and flowers and they're very colorful. She has some hanging from the walls and some laying next to her, and she works on them right there. Her booth is in the Farmer's Market Plaza.

The bld is marked #1, and you can park under the bridge for cheaper than anywhere around there.

There's a lady who has a sign on the side of her house selling Fiesta wreaths on Winewood Dr. 78212...the cross street is Basse,..it's a short street,..I think it is the second block coming from Basse on the right,..it's a corner house,...it's worth a try....
