The Wreath Edit: A Circle of Style for the Season

The hallowed moment of hanging the wreath on the door always marks the true beginning of the festive season in our books. Whether you lean towards the rustic charm of holly and pine or prefer something more architectural and restrained, it’s the first impression your home makes during the festive months – the scene setter, if you will, for the merrymakers who will cross your threshold over the coming month.



The options are, of course, myriad – fresh or faux, classic or contemporary – and ultimately the right one is that which makes you smile and feel the warm flush of festive excitement. Here, then, is how to choose wisely.

How to Choose a Wreath

Fresh wreaths bring scent and texture, but need a little misting to stay perky. Faux options have come a long way – just avoid anything too shiny or too symmetrical. Nature rarely is, after all.

Don’t Forget The Finish

A beautiful wreath deserves a considered hanger. Go for a silk ribbon, a brass hook, or a simple length of jute twine – whichever quietly complements the look without stealing the show.
