If you want to save a little bit of money on a fresh Christmas wreath, consider buying one that is plain or make it from scratch yourself. Here are a few ideas of ways you can decorate your own Christmas wreath.
- Traditional Elegance: Embrace the classic charm of a natural wreath adorned with red ribbon, pinecones, and a simple bow.

- Personalized Touches: Incorporate personal touches like family photos, homemade ornaments, or handwritten greetings to make your wreath extra special.
Preserving the Freshness of Your Christmas Wreath
If you decorate with fresh Christmas wreaths for the holidays, it’s important to take really good care of them so they last a while.
Whether you purchased it from the nursery or made it yourself, you’ll want to protect your investment and time. Maintaining the freshness and vibrancy of these natural decorations requires proper care.
As a master gardener, I’ve learned a thing or two to keep your winter wreaths looking fresh and beautiful through the holidays and beyond. Here’s what you need to know!
Caring for Your Fresh Winter Wreath
- Protect from Extreme Temperatures and Direct Sunlight: Fresh wreaths thrive in cool, humid environments. Avoid placing your wreath in direct sunlight or near heat sources like fireplaces or radiators, as these can cause the needles to dry out and become brittle.
- Misting: Misting is essential for keeping your wreath hydrated and preventing needle drop. Use a spray bottle to gently mist the entire wreath, including the back, every other day or as needed.
- Placement: Display your wreath in a well-ventilated area away from drafts or excessive moisture. Placing it in a sheltered spot, such as a covered porch or entryway, will help extend its lifespan.
- Rotation: To ensure even exposure to light and moisture, rotate your wreath every few days. This will prevent one side from becoming dry or discolored.
- Checking for Pests: Regularly inspect your wreath for signs of pests, such as insects or spiders.

The 10 Days of Christmas
I’m super excited to share each day with some of my favorite holiday ideas as part of the 10 Days of Christmas.
The friends I’m sharing with are some of the best in the home decor niche and I feel very blessed to be a part of something so fun with so many talented bloggers.
If you are new here, I’m Stacy, a self-taught master gardener who lives and gardens in northern New Jersey, zone 6a.
We recently moved to a beautiful 1850 Farmhouse with 10 acres of gardens, sculptures and statues.
I’ve been gardening for over 20 years and enjoy helping beginner gardeners find their inner green thumb, as well as discover a love for all things plants and flowers. I love to bring the outdoors inside my home too.
I hope you enjoy visiting my home today and hope you come back so we can grow stuff and create beautiful spaces together.
Our new home
Since we just moved to our vintage farmhouse less than a year ago, I’m starting to think about how to decorate here for the holidays.
We moved just before Christmas last year, so I didn’t spend a whole lot of time decorating our new home as it was all about unpacking and moving in.
I’m not totally sure what’s going where or how I’m decorating yet here, so I need all of the Christmas inspiration I can get!
My former home had more of a rustic farmhouse style but here I’m moving more towards a boho vintage farmhouse vibe.
When we moved in, our new home was really dark with a lot of faux finishes on almost every surface so we spent the last year updating rooms.
In case you love a good before and after, you can see all of the transformations here:

- Family Room Makeover Project
- Front Entry Hall Renovation
- Dining Room Makeover Part 1
- Dining Room Makeover Part 2
But I digress.
I’ve got a lot of entry doors here and while I have a few Christmas wreaths I can use, I am planning to make a few so they all coordinate.
We’ve got double doors on one entry so that’s four inside and out. Plus the front and back porch doors.
So I need all of the Christmas decorating inspiration I can get!
