Decorative Front Door Wreaths

A welcome touch for any front porch

Want to dress up your front door in an instant? Decorative front door wreaths are a fun and satisfying way. Dave and I enjoy hanging an attractive wreath on our front door for every season.

Wreaths are one of the easiest door decorating ideas in the world.

Imagine painting your door a brand spankin' fresh color and then hanging a wonderful wreath on it. Wow, that's one way to get a lot of compliments on your home and your porch.

This simple yet decorative front door wreath,
along with the complementary potted plants, makes this a very inviting porch.
The green and yellow against the stone is striking.



Front Door Wreaths in Annapolis

Dave and I visited Annapolis MD one hot day in August and came across these charming front doors.

The colors in this whimsical arrangement are what caught my eye.
Striking and inviting.


A gorgeous wreath is a beautiful way to grace your front door and lovingly welcome your guests.

Wreaths come in all sizes, shapes, colors, textures, styles and prices. You can really have fun with wreaths to make them uniquely yours.


Where to get wreaths

  • Make your own (my favorite choice but takes time)
  • Purchase a beautiful wreath that is ready-made (easiest and quickest)
  • Purchase a simple wreath and embellish it with add-ons that you choose (fun and creative)

Caring for wreaths

You want to keep you wreaths looking new and fresh so they last a long time. Here are some tips.
  • Keep wreaths away from direct sunlight as much as possible.
  • Clean your wreaths with a feather or micro fiber duster.
  • For really dusty wreaths there are products on the market that clean silk and flower wreaths.
  • In general, silk wreaths can withstand harsher conditions (heat, humidity, light) than their dried flower or eucalyptus counterparts. However, over time, sunlight will dull the colors.
  • Eucalyptus wreaths are not intended for outdoors. They are preserved with glycerin which might bleed if it becomes wet or exposed to humidity. This in turn can stain the surface.
  • Dried floral arrangements like cool, dark and dry. To prevent rapid deterioration, keep them inside.
  • Keep wreaths away from heat sources and flames.
