Unique Wreath Inspirations

Perhaps the best Yuletide decoration is being wreathed in smiles.

Much symbolism can be attributed to the Christmas wreath...

The shape of wreath is traditionally a circle, which has no beginning and no ending. In some cultures, this represents the eternal nature of a god's love and mercy, everlasting faith in humanity, and/or the circle of life. The most common colour of wreaths, green, is also known to be the colour of hope and new life.

The decorative value of wreaths is believed to have been derived by ancient tradition; different floral and decorative arrangements were used to identify the different families and houses.... just as we use it today as our own signature flair.

Hang a wreath on the door to welcome visitors, or on the wall to add decorative finesse, the traditional accent will surely add a warm, festive, and personal touch to any space...
