The most festive wreaths for front doors and mantelpieces this Christmas

Hanging a Christmas wreath on your front door is the surest way to declare to the world that your household is the merriest in the neighbourhood.

Because really, what puts a spring in your step more than walking down a street lined with pretty wreaths, winter frost crunching underfoot? 

Whether you choose real flowers or faux, a wreath is a crucial fixture of your festive decorations (aside from the Christmas tree, of course), spreading cheer to all just by being there. 

Why hang a Christmas wreath?

Arranging evergreen foliage in circles is thought to symbolise eternal life. Wreaths come in all flavours, from fresh with fragrant blooms, all-bauble looks and hyper-realistic faux options, finished with fairy lights for extra twinkly sparkle.

What are the different types of Christmas wreaths?

• Artificial wreaths: Made with incredibly realistic faux leaves, this has all the look of a true wreath minus the maintenance and expense. Find options interwoven with fairy lights for extra magic.
• Real wreaths: Usually made with festive flora such as fir branches, pine cones, twigs, sprigs of holly and lovely velvet ribbons, Christmas wreaths are seasonal bread and butter for many florists. Fresh versions are best placed on your front door as indoor central heating will zap them fast, lasting two weeks versus up to five if hung outside and spritzed with water occasionally.
• Bauble wreaths: If you’re a fan of Christmas baubles, you’ll adore this kooky concept. Arranged on a robust plastic loop, this wreath clusters colour-coordinated orbs with the odd bell thrown in for festive jingles every time the door is used. 
• Statement wreaths: Discard the wreath rulebook and embrace the weird, wacky and wonderfully abstract. Whether you prefer a DIY kit for a handmade feel you can show off with pride, a pared-back Scandi-cool version made with fake twigs or a personalised design inscribed with your family name, there’s a wreath out there to fit the bill.

How to properly care for and store Christmas wreaths

If you’re going down the faux route, it’s worth shelling out a little extra for the right wreath storage so you can continue to enjoy it for decades to come. Keeping it wrapped in tissue paper and in a hat box is an easy solution, but you can also get specialised storage bags to keep your wreath in.

Can you hang wreaths indoors?

Wreath-hanging is a tradition ripe for making your own. Instead of suspending them from your front door, why not put them above the mantlepiece, over headboards, and on internal doors - even your shower screen if you feel like it!
