Cherry blossoms are a triple threat - beautiful, rare, and symbolic. Chinese culture holds cherry blossoms as a symbol of power and feminine beauty. They also add a touch of elegance to any accent or decor piece you place in the room. Many asian cultures incoporate this dainty flower into foods, art, and even spiritual ceremonies.
This simple wreath would be an elegant accent on any front door. Although it is a very basic wreath, consisting of virutally only cherry blossoms and branches, it's simplistic beauty cannot be ignored.
