Handmade Christmas Wreaths For Purchase

By Stacey Burt


When it comes to the holiday season, there is a great demand for festive decorations, particularly ones that unique and special. Handmade Christmas wreaths are a great way to add festive cheer to the front door of a house in a unique way. They can also be used inside a room, adding color, texture and aroma. All possible tastes are catered for today with the many items on sale, particularly from online sources.

Choosing a wreath to suit a particular style of decor is easy as they come in a great variety of styles. The intense green of a simple green boxwood wreath looks inviting against a white door. A rustic one made of burlap and twigs with berries goes perfectly with vintage styles. A natural woodland wreath against a cottage door is warm and cheery. One made with silver bells and silver tipped pine cones suits an elegant modern door.

So many different materials are used for these creations today. Rich, velvety fabrics, ornaments, artificial flowers, bows, beads, twigs, candy and many more elements are combined in amazingly creative ways. Some are made from all natural materials such as leaves, twigs, berries, pine cones and dried flowers. Others combine natural and artificial materials carefully together and some are made with only artificial materials.

The colors traditionally used are green, white and red with silver and gold often being introduced to add some sparkle. Pine cones may have the tips painted white or silver. The tips of fresh green fir branches provide a beautiful green. Red comes in the form of beads, berries and rich fabrics like velvet. Colors are combined in original and eye catching ways.

The whimsical at heart love traditional ornaments like a Santa Clause doll, an adorable elf or a reindeer as the center of a wreath. A nativity scene is another traditional choice. These figures are surrounded by festive themed decorations and lights may even be added.

It does not really matter where a wreath is hung and many people enjoy having more than one. On a front door it provides a warm welcome to guests and indoors it adds holiday spirit to any room. Some even have a lovely aroma that comes from the natural elements used like the fir and cones. A classic style consists of red berries, green fir, pine cones with snowy tips and a red bow.

The way in which the decorative elements are put together create the particular style. Some items are far more traditional whilst others have a very modern feel. White and silver are often used together to create an elegant look. More rustic elements immediately create a more vintage impression.

When choosing a wreath, one has to bear in mind factors like quality, durability and value for money as well as appearance. It can be used for many years and is easy to update by simply adding or taking away certain elements. The experience of shopping online for such a product is easy and fun and choosing a reputable supplier ensures satisfaction.
