Southern Belle

Magnolia leaves and gingham ribbon bring a little fun to the traditional red and green palette. To continue the design, include the ribbon in other decorations throughout the house.

Shape Up

A pair of wreaths shaped like Christmas trees play up the architectural detail of a pretty pair of doors. To extend the welcoming display, drape garland around the entire entry.

Berry Bright

Simple sprigs of red berries animate this festive wreath. The materials echo the spiral topiaries on either side of the door, unifying the scheme.

Rose Parade

Abundant roses and mixed floral materials make gorgeous adornments for a formal front door. Accents of cobalt blue bring a spark to the arrangement.

A traditional wreath with a seaside twist

Shades of Green

To make a leaf wreath more interesting, turnover some of the leaves to reveal their chartreuse backs. This seaside version features a starfish and bougainvillea blossom for a sense of place.

Square Roots

Personal Best

Decorate your wreath with items that have meaning for you, such as the collection of hotel silver flatware and a creamer used to decorate this wreath for a kitchen window.
