The history of what we know today as holiday wreaths dates back to the early Persian Empire, when they were used to signify strength and domination. It was then adapted by the Christian community asa a token to commemorate Christ's sacrifice to save humanity. In the present time, wreaths are developed and adapted in every household around the world. This ring-shaped decor is now widely used during Christmas as a symbol of hope and life. In fact, it is one of the traditional accessories that is never missed out in a casual holiday design.
Over time, holiday wreaths have gone through many adaptation to where it should be placed. Unlike before when we usually see it just in front of the door, there is a large variety of wreaths today that are used anywhere inside the house or even outdoors. Door wreaths in particular, offer a gorgeous Yuletide greeting to anyone who visits or pass by our house. There are also dried wreaths that gives a unique twist to its normal design. Or for a more eco-friendly holiday, fresh christmas wreaths are also available in the market. There are even outdoor wreaths that provides a wonderful decor for our yard, patio or balcony.
Wreaths are basically one of the best Christmas accessories to dress up our home this coming holiday. When combined with lights, it can create an even more fascinating piece of decor. Lighted door wreaths became a fad because of its unique look and serve the purpose of providing illumination in front of the house. Lights improve the appearance and decoration of your wreath by creating a warm glow. You can use dry cell operated lights to customize your wreath if you would like to add this effect to an already existing piece.
Aside from door wreaths, you can also use the fireplace mantel as a perfect spot to hang up some Christmas wreaths. You can either choose to combine several medium size wreaths of different arrangement, color and design or one large individual wreath that will act as the focal point in that particular area.
There is a small argument on which is the better choice of wreath - artificial or natural. Both types has exceptional designs and colors. The only difference is whether you want the idea of using fresh evergreen branches but only once or prefer a long-lasting and equally gorgeous faux holiday wreaths.
