These wreaths are a great price if you are looking for the mossy look but don't want to pay the high price of a totally moss-covered wreath. Plus I like the fact that you can see brown vine areas as well. The base is an thinner vine (angel vine I think it is called?) vs the branchier grapevine wreath I usually use. This makes wreath much lighter weight, which is great if you are shipping. It is, however, more fragile because it is a thinner vine.
