Nothing says Christmas like a beautifully decorated wreath on your front door. Whether you love a classic look or something modern, there are plenty of easy ways to decorate your Christmas wreath and make it truly yours. In this blog, we’ll explore simple ways to add extra sparkle and make your wreath the star of your festive décor.
Light it Up with String Lights!
One of the easiest ways to make your wreath shine - quite literally - string lights are a classic choice, offering that warm, inviting glow we all associate with Christmas. As well as cosy warm white lights, you can also choose bright white or multi-coloured lights to match your holiday theme. For a modern touch, use cluster lights. Because they have smaller LEDs clustered together, they produce a brighter glow that will make your wreath really pop. We recommend wrapping them around the wreath in a spiral pattern for even distribution. Then tucking the battery pack or plug behind the wreath for a seamless look.
Incorporate Natural Elements
Bring the outdoors indoors by adding natural elements to your wreath. Pinecones, berries, rosemary, and eucalyptus leaves are fantastic choices that add texture and colour. For a rustic vibe, you can also add cinnamon sticks or dried orange slices. Not only do they look great, but they add a wonderful scent to your home.
If you're feeling adventurous, spray some pinecones or leaves with metallic paint or glitter. This will catch the light from your string lights and give your wreath a magical, frosty glow.
Add Some Festive Ornaments
Ornaments don't just look great on your Christmas tree. By adding a few well-placed baubles to your wreath, you can elevate its look to a whole new level. Go for mini ornaments that complement the colours of your wreath. For example, red and gold for a traditional look, or silver and blue for a winter wonderland theme.
Who says wreaths are just for doors? This holiday season, break tradition by letting wreaths bring festive charm to every corner of your home! For example, hang them on walls for a cosy feel, or use them to add a touch of magic to your dining table. You can even place an LED candle in the middle to create a stunning centrepiece!
Tie it Together with Ribbon
Ribbon is a versatile and easy way to add a finishing touch to your Christmas wreath. For example, a bold, wide ribbon in a contrasting colour can give a simple wreath feel more luxurious look. As well as tying it in a large bow at the bottom of the wreath, you can weave it through the branches for a more subtle look.
For a unique display, use two or three different ribbons with varying textures or patterns. The combination will add depth and interest to your wreath, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
Personalise it with a Sign or Monogram
Adding a personal touch to your wreath is always a nice idea. For example, you could attach a small wooden sign with a festive message like "Merry Christmas." Also, a monogram letter representing your family name is a chic way to make your wreath uniquely yours. If you're using string lights, position your sign or monogram so the lights draw attention to it, enhancing the look of your wreath.
Experiment with Different Shapes & Styles
Wreaths don't have to be a perfect circle, you know. For a unique display, why not get creative with different shapes, such as stars, hearts, or even squares? Also, wreaths can be any size you want them to. For example, a large wreath is a great way to add a dramatic feature to your home to wow your guests at Christmas.
When working with uniquely shaped wreaths, cluster lights are your best friend. Their compact size makes them easy to manoeuvre around any shape to fully illuminate your wreath. Alternatively, choose a pre-lit LED or iridescent wreath. With their bright, sparkly glow, they'll make your home look like a winter wonderland!
Styling your Christmas wreath is all about adding those extra touches that reflect your personal style and holiday spirit. Whether you're all about the glitz and glam or prefer a
more natural, rustic look, there's no wrong way to do it. Just remember to have fun with it!
