When you add a permanent design element to your design like this branch it often comes with ready to use details...
Like the artificial snow on this branch for example...
It is always easier to work with what is already there so Carefully inspect where the snow is placed on the branch...
And make sure you add the bulk of the snow fall in the wreath at the same angle...
Adding a bit of snow to the design details...
And the bulk of the snow where it would have been if the twig was out in a blizzard. It's a tiny detail but your eyes pick up things like this. Going through the extra effort to make it realistic helps the design form a unit and your flower illusion look realistic.
