As we leave the cold, dark winter and enter into what promises to be a gorgeous spring, many of us are looking for fun ways to celebrate. Aside from having a picnic in the park with friends, or enjoying the lighter evenings in your front garden, it’s also nice to try decorating your home a little bit.
Wreaths are a lovely way of approaching this, but what’s the best one to go for? Here, we go through some of the main things to look out for. From floral wreaths to following your personal preferences, here’s how you can find the best option for you this spring.
Floral Options
One of the most beautiful things about spring is watching the world around us spring into life. In many cases, you can also celebrate that through the kinds of wreath you choose to go with, by integrating some seasonal foliage.
As you peruse a typical spring range of wreaths, you’ll likely see all sorts of options using seasonal foliage and flowers. Whether you’re buying one off the shelf or going with a more DIY approach, it’s definitely worth thinking about how you can integrate your favourite plants and flowers into your design.
A Base For Other Decorations
You can also use wreaths as a base that you use to hang more personalised spring decorations from, including pretty much any of the bits and bobs you’ve picked up over the years.
Whether that’s a little easter bunny made from wood, or a silver star you made when you were a child, you can hang these from your wreath and make a kind of ornamental shrine.
Wreaths can essentially be treated as fancy display boards - keep this in mind when you’re next trying them out.
A Hybrid Approach
If you’re looking to get a wreath that can be used to celebrate all of spring, then you can take a hybrid approach. Get a durable base made from some kind of wood - such as eucalyptus - and then use that base to weave flowers in as they bloom.
When the flowers start to droop, but others start to come up, you can take the old flowers out and put the new ones in. This approach keeps you even more in touch with the season, and keeps the wreath looking fresh and exciting for months to come!
Follow Your Personal Preferences
While there are some more universal symbols associated with springtime, you don’t have to stick with those if they don’t speak to you on a more personal level. If there’s a certain colour or material that you particularly associate with spring, use it! If you’re hanging this decoration in your own home, then what matters most is that you enjoy it and associate it with the current season.
The best wreath for springtime is the one that you enjoy the most. By following these tips, we hope you’re able to find one that suits your preferences perfectly, helping you to embrace the season of change.
