WREATHS DONE RIGHT

A door wreath, the harbinger of the holidays.  We are fans of these festive scene setters.   An easy way to evoke those cozy feelings and welcoming vibes for the holiday season.  If you could use some help on finding the perfect proportions or are looking for a few of our in-house style secrets, read on.

Fresh Or Faux ?

We say forget the faux and opt for fresh. Don’t miss this opportunity to layer up your seasonal senses with the scent of pine, cedar, or seeded eucalyptus.  Use it to add a pop of greenery and brightness to your mantel or a blank stretch of wall.  Naturally, these branches will dry and curl over time, meaning your wreath will remain as stunning as ever for months to come, scent-sational!

Combine a mix of botanical branches to add subtle texture and interest.  Different varieties of eucalyptus are gorgeous when some restrained natural elements like succulents, grasses, airplants, pods or berries to take them to the next level. We avoid the tired and overdone holiday icons and opt instead for more muted natural finds to add insta-worthy interest. These beauties take texture to new levels offering a chic and sophisticated play on holiday decor.  

Floral artistry makes a statement with this on-trend wreath direction.  We are having quite the moment with wreaths made of dried or preserved grasses and flowers. Oh so lovely when paired together with a handmade touch.  We love the organic free forms and more informal nature of their design language.  After the holiday season, they can be moved indoors or stored for next year. 

 
Perfect Proportions

Help! What size wreath looks best on my sized door? For a trusty traditional look, the most common measurement for a door wreath is 22-24″ in width.  This is perfect for a standard-sized (36” wide ) front door.  Showcased to perfection with space above and on each side to make your wreath stand out.

At Gartheraus we just can’t stop ourselves from indulging in a little holiday excess, and holiday decor is no exception.  For stylish street appeal ‘go big’ on your wreath size, and up the impact with a 36” inch or larger. Go ahead – take up the entire width of your door to get that jaw-dropping effect!

Always one to share the ups and the down with you. Shipping charges for these bigger beauties might be higher and you may need to rearrange some of the branches and wispy florals so they are not damaged by the functioning door.
