Wreath Question

ECBG — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 20:13:26 GMT

I like wreaths, wildflowers, and the like.

I got a woodland wreath from Hallmark Cards about 4 years ago it is one of my favorites. It's at the top of the stairs.

There are some beautiful wreaths on etsy! They blow almost everything I have seen in retail out of the water!

Does your son/daughter use a wreath at all at their house?

Our son does not.

I love wreaths. I have them for all holidays and occasions. I always have two hanging on my pantry doors and one on front door. Right now it's all patriotic. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 No one else in my family does the wreath thing either. I have a local store here and the lady is absolutely gifted at making wreaths.

I'm the only one who has a wreath. Mine is always on my front door, and I always have an American Flag on my front porch.

I like having wreaths on the door(s). I have a double door, so I always need two. I always put some out for Halloween (we do a scary theme) then change to Fall after then and then into Christmas. I've been looking for new Christmas wreaths for a while now but haven't found anything I like. I then don't put anything out until Spring and then I usually don't put anything on the doors for summer because I live in the Southeast and it gets so darn hot. The sun just beats on my door most of the day.

I have a basket of faux flowers and a candle wreath hanger on my front door. I change the flowers seasonally. Planters of flowers and basil along with the American flag alongside the door.

DS #1 has a wreath on the front door of his house, provided by his MIL.

I doubt DS #2 has anything hanging on his front door. He is moving at the end of the summer.

Have bought all my wreaths from Etsy for years. A bright pink on the front door now - just changed from 3 colored + black/white ribbon this weekend.

(there are many many sloppy inferior no class wreaths available )

I have a passion for wreaths. I always have a new seasonal one on my front door, and during holidays, I may display one inside, as well.

I've purchased from various sellers, but also enjoy making them myself. And, I have to say, I'm getting pretty darn good at it.

However, I'm finding that it's not much cheaper to craft them yourself, if you go for the higher end materials.

Yes, I always have a wreath or something wooden on our front door. I am also a big fan of Etsy. They seem to have everything one could want.

@ECBG I always have a wreath on my door, except during nesting season. My daughter had the most pathetic winter wreath on her door when I was down there in December. I bought her an "as is" for winter from QVC and an "as is" from Valerie for Spring/Summer. She loved them! My DIL always has something beautiful on her door as well. She has a covered porch, so she has quite a charming display. I'm going to check out the wreaths from Etsy. I like candle rings too and have found beautiful candle rings at Piper Classics.

@PA Mom-mom

Funny thing happened when our boys were in their mid teens! Some friends came over in the evening, I opened the front door, and found a bird had been nesting in the wreath! With the door open, she flew straight out INTO the house! (We live in the woods!)

I got everyone to stand back, cut off the great room lights, and she flew out to the bright porch!!!! The wreath came down! I used a wooden craft daisy wreath!

I LOVE to make wreaths, and always have one on my front door. Since Michaels has reopened, I'm going to venture out in search of pics and ribbon, to make a patriotic one.😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I love wreaths and my son would help me select them when he was young and living at home.

He does use wreaths but he creates his own so they aren’t too girly as he puts it. Here is his Christmas wreath he made.

I have wreaths on my door all year and back sliders that face the golf course, this year I decided to do a door bucket ...

I have a wreath on my front door that gets changed out for Spring/Summer, and then again for Fall and then for Christmas! I love wreaths and always have. My mom and I used to go to Craft Shows and saw some really beautiful ones. Some can be really expensive. I will have to look at Etsy. My youngest daughter loves them and uses them, but my oldest does not-she said they are dust collectors! lol!

I also like a wreath on my doors. I have quite a few especially Christmas ones. I have a forsythia one I use for spring but of course cannot find it. Found a grapevine one with a tin star in the middle I put up instead. I made a grapevine wreath from some of the million grapevines growing in the trees around here and found some artificial hydrangeas and stuck three of them on the side of the wreath and put it on the back door. Must get in the attic and try and find the other ones.

@LIG1 There is a teacher that retired not long after I did who has a ribbon wreath business through Etsy.

She is Reeces Designs. Her designs are so creative.

The only time I have a wreath on my front door is for the Christmas season. I would like having one for each season, but my DH has inadvertently knocked off the Christmas wreath more than once when he enters and exits. He hates decorations on doors, and I would get aggravated if my wreaths were always on the ground. I’ve never seen anyone have so much trouble with wreaths!

We do have a grapevine wreath hanging on the brick wall of our sunroom. My mom always had some kind of floral decoration on her front door. My sister and sister in law have wreaths on their front doors.

Wreaths remain very important to my decorating but sadly I feel it might be a generational thing. I don't think kids have any. On front doors and porches, always cheery and welcoming.

AuntG — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 21:16:13 GMT

As much as I like wreaths, I dislike the storage space they require. I have a springtime one from Valerie and a Christmas wreath with lights on it. I like all the ones that have been posted here.

My front door gets relentless sun and it would fade fast.

I do put them on my back door although it's very windy/breezy and one day it will take off like a frisbee, I'm sure.

There's a favorite garden boutique about a hundred miles away from here that I visit a few times a year---it's so worth it. They make really pretty ones and they are pricey, but I have bought several for different seasons for my family members.

I always try to match the colors of the wreath to the colors of the house.
