4 Tips for Choosing a Real Christmas Wreath
Christmas wreaths are almost compulsory accessories for some families around this time of year. In fact, I actually see more hanging on people's doors nowadays than I did twenty years ago, so they must be taking off. You can buy them almost anywhere as well, so people can get their hands on them really easily and for an affordable price, in most cases. But what can you do to make sure you're picking the best wreath for you and your home? Let me give you a few tips!
Decide on a colour scheme
You want the colour scheme to match that of how you have your Christmas tree decorated. That's usually the rule of thumb when it comes to Christmas wreaths, especially if you choose a real one. I like to choose one with bows and ribbons on it, but without all the fancy little and bits and pieces. For me, simple is the way to go, and that's because my tree is decorated very simply. Try to get your external decor to match the internal decor so it all flows through nicely for your guests.
What colour is your door?
Something else to keep in mind is the colour of your door. If it's dark green, then maybe opt for a wreath that's a lot more colourful and out there. If your door is white or a bright colour, then you could opt for a softer-looking wreath with more understated colours and decor. If your door is black, then you might want to offset it with a wreath that has lots of reds and oranges in it to make it look extra festive. Think about the colour of your door and then go out and choose a wreath with this in mind.
The size is important as well
If your door is small or if you only have a small space to hang your wreath, then you don't want to buy a wreath that's too big. Alternatively, you don't want to buy a wreath that's too small if your door is huge. Find a middle ground and go for a size that's in proportion with your door.
How are you going to hang the wreath from your door?
There are a few ways in which a wreath can be hung from a door, but you need to think about the type of door you have and how it closes before choosing either one. For example, our front door won't allow a metal wreath hanger to go over the top of the door, because we can't actually close the door with it on.
It's also mainly glass, so we have to use a suction pad to hang our wreath from. However, your door might be able to accommodate a wreath hanger rather than a suction pad. It's trial and error but you'll eventually find a method that works for you and the door.
