Though commonly thought of as Christmas specific decorations, beautifully ornamented wreaths are perfect for any time of year and any occasion. There are countless seasonal wreaths that seamlessly pull together all the beautiful foliage and display all the exquisite colors.

These simple pieces can be the ideal enhancement for your front door to celebrate the coming season and welcome visitors. With so many options out there, you’ll be able to find something you absolutely love.

A wreath on a front door can signify several ideas, including:

• Wreaths are a common decoration for Christmas. Placing one on a front door where it will be frequently seen during the holiday season indicates that the people living there celebrate Christmas. No matter what time of year it is, this decoration can also be seen as an invitation to passersby, allowing them to join in the cheer and festivities if they choose.
• The common evergreen foliage is a symbol of the persistence of life and the natural world. Evergreens are some of the few plants that survive during the winter while staying lush. This indicates hope for other plants that they too will bounce back. It also implies that winter is temporary and the hardship from the frosty season will eventually end.
• Wreaths’ round shape has no start or end, which demonstrates a cycle, whether it be of an individual’s life or something else. Christmas is a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, meaning a Christmas wreath can represent the cycle of life. The repeated sequence can also be of the seasons and provide hope that winter will end.
• Wreaths are a beautiful embellishment to any space, and when hanging on a front door, they become one of the first things a guest sees. The vibrant colors help make others feel welcome and can be a sign of hospitality.

The many plants and high quality materials that make up these items can help bring different ambiances to any place. They are just one of the many ways you can keep the holiday cheer going all year and there are tons to choose from.

When selecting and installing your wreath, ensure that you take your time with the process. There are so many things to consider and we understand that it can be complicated selecting the proper size wreath and installing it correctly. You want it to look well decorated and display your excitement for the season.

Listed below are some tips to ensure your wreath will work well.

Your wreath should cover about ⅔ of the width of your door. To make sure you are following this general rule, measure the width of your door before you purchase a wreath. Then calculate approximately ⅔ of this measurement and pick a wreath that is closest in size to this value.

If you are going for a more statement look and want to be bold, you can try going for something even bigger. Just make sure that the wreath’s diameter is smaller than the width of the door. Try one that is only a few inches smaller than the door’s width. For example, if your door is 36 inches wide, a 30 inch wreath may work well.

If you are going for something more subtle, pick a wreath that is around half of the width of your door.

When hanging your wreath, there are several items you can use to hang it. You can use adhesive hooks, a magnetic wreath hook, ribbon, and more. The easiest option to use is a wreath hanger, which is specifically designed for this purpose and hangs right over your door.

If you purchase a wreath hanger, ensure that it is the right size for your door as well as your wreath and will allow the wreath to hang low enough so that the door can still open and close with ease.

As you put the hanger over your door, measure your door once more to check that the hanger is centered.

You can use ribbon to add an extra bow at the top of your wreath and adjust the bow as needed to cover the hanger.

If you are looking for something more unique or don’t want to use a wreath, there are many other options, including some that you can even make yourself. Listed below are several ideas:

• Banners or signs: You can purchase some seasonal signs that have festive messages and designs on them, changing them out with each new season or holiday that comes. You can even make your banners more festive with various enhancers.
• Frames: You can use an old frame, purchase a new one, or purchase a used one and decorate it to your liking. Using an adhesive, add seasonal berries or flowers to your frame. Place smaller pieces on the frame itself, while placing larger pieces through the center of the frame. Add as much or as little as you want and hang the frame on your door in the same way you would hang a wreath.
• Basket of flowers: Collect some of your favorite seasonal flowers and create your own bouquet. Place the flowers in a basket and mount it on a hook or a hanger on your door.
• Sprays: Sprays are lovely pieces that are made from garland and embellished with ornaments, lights, bows, and more. They can easily be hung on your door and decorated from season to season.

If you are looking for something to grab the attention of people passing by and welcome guests, wreaths are the perfect choice. Wreaths are beautifully decorated with foliage that you can easily change out and hang up all year round. No matter what you are going for, there is so much variety in designs that you are guaranteed to find something you’ll love.
