Dress up your front door this holiday season with one of these decorative front door wreaths. Wreaths are a perfect accent to your front door especially as fall turns to winter. Dating back to ancient Greece the wreath is associated with symbolic meaning representing victory but also hope as the winter solstice approaches. It is a great way to celebrate the affirmation that the earth will renew itself and reminder of the natural cycle of nature and the seasons.
If you live in the South, Magnolia’s grow everywhere and the leaves are harvested as a staple for decorative front door wreaths. Here in the Midwest, a wide variety of evergreen trees and berries keep the landscape alive in otherwise barren months. Hydrangea’s, Peonies, and Roses that grow in the summer months can be dried and used as well.
I grow a lot of boxwood in my own garden as a soft backdrop in the winter months and it is one of my favorite materials alone or with other materials in decorative front door wreaths.
If you are inclined to make your own wreath that is best saved and will be covered in a future post. But if you love the look of natural materials with realistic looking evergreen needles you must touch to tell the difference- then read on.
