What's your wreath style? Glam, rustic, modern or....
West Elm
Rouse your festive senses
Whether you seek an elegant entry or a rustic greeting, a wreath unique to you and your home is a decorative accent that positively rouses everyone’s festive senses.
Wreaths deliver a festive feel, inside and out, so keep them in mind for dressing elements of your interior too. You can hang them or rest them above a fireplace or a windowsill, or even over top a mirror or bookshelf. You can also lay them flat on your table to make a brilliant centerpiece.
Rousing rustics
If you love cozy lodging, woodsy textures and nature then you may favour the raw shapes of mixed pine cones and lotus sea pods, or swirled olive branches and twigs. Such rustic elements work seamlessly on a traditional door or window, yet also work beautifully on a juxtaposing contemporary or industrial style home.
Go for glam
If modern glamour, alluring decadence, glitz and glam are up your alley then look for wreaths created in rich regal colours and in extravagant and lavish textures. Turn jewel tones like emerald topaz, and sapphire, as well as varying shades of noir and berry. Especially striking are posh plumes, exotic grasses, adorned scrollwork, and opulence in haute-style. If you are in the mood to express the maximalist in you then don't be afraid to be wow in your neighborhood by embellishing and pushing to the edge of good taste. If you are more modern minimalist yet seek a splash of mystique, then try out a stark look with striping lagoon grasses.
Get twiggy with it
For an enchanting shimmer or a modern, whimsical tale look for a wreath that glistens like snowflakes and sparkles like champagne. Choose palettes of crisp whites and cool blues, shining silvers and glitzy gold. Like looking up to twinkling stars on a cold winter night, a luster of modern glitter and sheen brings delicacy and charm, a look that will leave you feeling the magic of the holidays.
For real
Traditional reds and greens are surely a look to please. From luscious amaryllis or magnolia leaves, to traditional spruce, cypress or boxwood, a simple and traditional holiday wreath is sometimes all you need. You can hang them or layer them onto any surface as true as they come, or simply add a festive element such as an oversized satin bow, twinkling white lights, bucolic pinecones, a string of dried cranberries or gathering of holly. A simple creation is both elegant and comforting, and of course merry.
Re-celebrate
If you're one that reaches for their glue gun every time a celebratory occasion draws near than the holiday season surely takes the crown in your craft corner. Especially a thrill for the kids in your life, reusing scraps of fabrics, tassels, ornaments, pom-poms or anything at all that peaks your interest, you can bet the pieces will marry beautifully on a circle or square foam, wood or metal frame. With just a little time and a whole lot of creative fun you can craft your own wreath with a sweet, homespun feel.
