The Christmas Wreath

Before anyone sets foot inside your house, the Christmas wreath makes an impression on your guests.  The wreath is the message that gets sent to passersby as they drive, walk, bike, scoot or stroll past your home.  What message do you want to send?  For me, I want all who come by to feel the joy of Christmas and smile.

1.  Traditional Elegance-Christmas wreaths of mixed evergreens tied with red and green ribbon speak of timeless tradition. Does this sound like you? I love seeing the traditional colors of Christmas on any door!

2.  Seaside Charm-The Christmas wreath that says "my heart is at the beach" is so much fun and very popular these days. Any decor can accommodate the seashell wreath, as they used them in Victorian days, too.

3.  Glitz and Glamour-Are sparkles, silver, and gold your favorite holiday accents? Then add it to your front door to give your whole house a Christmas sparkle.

4.  Natural Elements-Pine cones, nuts, birds' nests, feathers, if these are the things that speak to you, incorporate them into a wreath you will love.  The woodsy look and feel is so inviting. For a bit of fun, add some star anise and stick cinnamon for a welcoming aroma.

5.  Whimsical-Are you a fan of the unexpected? A whimsical wreath, one that makes you smile every time you see it might be just what you need on your door.  This wreath is hard to find, but when you do, you know it immediately!

6.  Country Farmhouse-This welcoming wreath can be full of fun items, from rustic farm tools, hand-lettered signs, burlap and dried foliage. Many times the base is an evergreen wreath, but a simple circle of grapevine might also be found.

7.  Retro-This wreath usually uses retro items as a feature, such as Star Brite ornaments, retro toys, retro light bulbs and creates a wreath full of nostalgia for old times.

Old fashioned buttons and toys make this traditional wreath retro!
