Door Wreaths
Step into a world where your door becomes a canvas for expression and welcomes guests with a touch of personal style. In this blog, we’ll unravel the enchanting story of door wreaths, exploring the most common types of door wreaths adorning our front doors and we will also introduce our new Magnetic Wreath Holder system.
Making wreaths a special part of our homes?
Modern door wreaths are decorative rings made from various materials like flowers, foliage, or ornaments and are traditionally associated with festive seasons. Over time, they’ve evolved into year-round expressions of personal style and hospitality.
When did we first start using door wreaths?
You might be surprised, but they date back to ancient civilisations, to ancient Rome. Initially, they were crafted from evergreen branches to symbolise strength and eternal life. Romans used to decorate their doors during festivals or to celebrate victories and honour.
Why do we love door wreaths so much?
Beyond aesthetics, door wreaths symbolise warmth, welcome, and celebration. They speak volumes about our pride in our space and desire to share joy with others.
What are the most popular types of door wreaths?
As mentioned above, door wreaths have evolved over the years, but the main types of door wreaths for front doors still are:
Seasonal Wreaths
Seasonal wreaths are all about celebrating the four seasons:
- Spring wreaths celebrate the renewal of life and feature vibrant blooms and fresh greens
- Summer wreaths take us from sunflowers to beach-themed treasures and always radiate warmth and joy
- Autumn wreaths feature rustic leaves, pinecones, and berries, celebrating the rich tapestry of autumnal hues
- Winter wreaths are often depicting a winter fairy tale with wreaths glistening in frost, pine branches and festive accents
Special Occasions Wreaths
Special occasion wreaths are wreaths that celebrate our most popular holidays:
- Christmas wreaths are often adorned with baubles, ribbons and a classic red-and-green symphony inspiring a festive cheer
- Easter wreaths celebrate springtime renewal and feature delicate pastel-coloured eggs, flowers, and adorable bunnies
- Halloween wreaths embrace the spooktacular spirit and feature eerie designs with haunting elements
- St Valentine’s wreaths celebrate love and are adorned with hearts and ribbons
Personality Wreaths
These types of wreaths usually incorporate unconventional shapes and elements intending to achieve modern or minimalist aesthetics, wreaths that resonate with unique creative styles.
