How Do You Display Your Holiday Wreath?

07. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: DIY ~ Fix it Up!, Loving Des Moines · Tags: Hoidays, Plant Life Designs

It’s that time of year! I don’t know what it is about holiday wreaths…but I love them! I’m always on the hunt for a new way to display them. Here are some of my favorite ideas that I’ve seen this year.

Party of Three

Love this idea! Put three similar wreaths together on the wall. They look great, don’t they?

Above The Buffett

Well, well, this is different. I love everything about this wreath. It’s vintage, it’s different, and it’s PLATTERS! I also love how it ties to the decor below. Just stunning!

Stack ‘Em

This door makes me think of winter. We are setting a record today here in Des Moines for most days without snow. Boo! I love the succession of wreaths and how they look against this gorgeous blue door.

Above The Numbers

This is a pretty standard place to share your wreath, but I had to post because I LOVE the numbers. Wondering if I would have enough guts to do this at my house???

Add A Kid?

Ha! Ha! This is my wreath. I love the square design and it’s size. Fits my front door perfectly. When I tried to grab a shot…I was photo bombed by my 6 year old son. Love it! You can see this wreath and more from Plant Life Designs. Tara makes there herself out of her home in Windsor Heights. This is my second wreath from her. They’re great!

Happy Holidays!
