A door wreath is warm and welcoming, brightening up your front door and adding a personal touch to your home. Wreaths are getting more popular each year, particularly for holiday decorating. It is possible to have a stunning wreath on your door year-round by adapting to the season or opting for a timeless wreath.
Here are our top tips for making sure your front door looks stunning every season.
Front Door Wreaths for All Seasons
Whether you prefer to follow seasonal decor or decorate with timeless style, there’s a front door wreath for you.
Spring Wreaths
In spring, nature is abundant. It’s an ideal time to hang wreaths including natural materials and pastel colours. Springtime is a new beginning, so it’s a great time to freshen up your home decor and set the scene. Starting at the front door, you can create a cheerful, fresh and welcoming atmosphere.
Fresh flowers
Fresh, live floral wreaths are a delight to hang on your door. There is a wealth of available options in springtime, and this temperate season keeps fresh flowers looking beautiful for longer.
Many florists create wreaths made for each season. Some also teach classes, providing a wreath base that you can decorate to your taste with greenery and floral accents.
Rustic appeal
For a longer-lasting wreath, dried flowers can look equally as appealing in spring. A dried flower and corn wreath can provide a lovely rustic look for this time of the year.
Easter
Every big occasion in the holiday calendar provides an opportunity to welcome guests with a wreath. Easter options often involve eggs, feathers and even bunnies to add some seasonal charm.
Summer Wreaths
The sunshine, holidays and high spirits of the summer months make this season joyful. It’s arguably the most overlooked season for wreaths, but our front doors shouldn’t be forgotten!
Bright colours
Use striking, bright colours for summer wreaths to make an impact. You could choose a floral design or try something different like a bright rag wreath.
Seaside/Holiday
A holiday or seaside wreath looks great in the summer. If you live in a coastal area, you might be able to forage for driftwood or shells to create a really unique door decoration. There is also plenty of beach, nautical and coastal front door wreaths on sale pre-made.
Dried or artificial flowers
In the heat of the summer, floral wreaths take a lot of looking after. Opt for dried or even artificial flowers for a long-lasting focal point.
Autumn Wreaths
The Autumn (or Fall, depending on which side of the pond you’re from!) offers a whole host of opportunities for a striking wreath.
Autumn Leaves
The rich, warm colours of autumn are ideal for a stunning wreath. Combine autumn leaves with berries, twigs and pinecones for a natural design to echo the season.
Halloween
Of course, Halloween decorations adorn many homes in the autumn. A spooky wreath is ideal for hanging on your front door to welcome trick-or-treaters and get into the Halloween spirit.
Winter Wreaths
Christmas
There are so many opportunities when it comes to Christmas wreaths! Many households wouldn’t go without over the festive season. But what you choose is unique to you and your home.
From natural designs with seasonal touches to bedazzling baubles, festive wreaths can be worlds apart. You can even make your own Lego Wreath that’s suitable for display (although this one is more suitable for indoor use).
A light-up Christmas wreath will draw attention and add to your festive light display, whilst a wreath made from spruce and foliage can create the familiar smells of the time of year at your entryway. Artificial wreaths are a good investment because they can be used year after year.
You can create a truly personal festive door wreath by attending a workshop with a local florist, something that’s getting more popular year on year. It’s a great way to socialise with friends, get into the Christmas spirit and make your own home décor item to be proud of.
Not Christmas
A winter wreath for your front door doesn’t just have to be for Christmas! Sticking to berries, pine cones and foliage can keep things relevant for the whole winter season.
Year Round Wreaths
There are various styles that suit many seasons and add a classic beauty. Your house won’t look dated or seasonal with sophisticated and chic door decorations.
It can be fun to change your door wreath, but it can also be costly. If you’d prefer something that doesn’t just last for one season, why not opt for a timeless wreath?
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus makes great base foliage for any timeless wreath. It works well with a wide range of other elements so you can build up a design that you love. A eucalyptus wreath is a classic, but fresh foliage won’t last forever. For a truly year-round wreath, consider an artificial option.
Magnolia
Use magnolia leaves and flowers for a neutral, fresh look. Another dateless option, this type of wreath will work at any time of year.
