Whether you opt for a digital wreath workshop, a DIY kit, go faux or leave it to the experts, here are five wreaths to doll up your door this Christmas.
Nordic Rose Fresh Door Wreath, £122
The Real Flower Company
For an Instagrammable Christmas wreath, you need The Real Flower Company on speed dial. Their Nordic Rose Fresh Door Wreath includes twisted willow, anemones, dried flowers, earl grey roses and berries. Alas, such a corker of a wreath will not stay looking perky forever; the roses last for about five days from the day they are delivered so do think carefully when you book your delivery date. Once the roses have passed their best, you can remove them and still have the stunning foliage and herb display.
Metal Leaf Wreath, £65
The White Company
You only decorate your door one month a year so you might as well make it a showstopper. Whether you go all-out or opt for a minimalist first impression, make your door the best dressed on the street. This metal wreath, which has been handmade from iron cut leaves soldered together, is a subtle addition to any front door. Trust us, the antique silver finish on the leaves makes this wreath a quiet little showstopper.
Red Berry Outdoor Wreath, £95
Flowerbx
Post lockdown let your Christmas wreath bring much-needed cheer to your visitors. ‘At a time when most of life’s ‘pleasures’ are taken away, flowers remind us to find joy in the little things,’ says Flowerbx CEO Whitney Hawkings. Flowerbx have been offering contactless delivery across Europe, the UK and New York from their warehouse which is sanitised daily. This most decadent red berry wreath is stuffed with fragrant sprigs of viburnum, skimmia and rosehips. More is more with this wreath and bring cheer, it will.
