After I take my Christmas wreath off my front door (see below) –
I am always torn as to what wreath I should replace it with.
We all know that Spring is several months
away, so something with pastel flowers just doesn’t
seem to fit the “occasion.”
What occasion is it exactly?
Why it’s “Winter.”
For some reason, I have never had a “Winter Wreath.”
With all my florals available, you would think it would
be an easy solution.
But after digging thru my stash-o-stems
in my floral bins earlier this eveing, I was dismayed
to find I really do not possess enough florals to create
a wreath which I would consider worthy of the season.
So woe is me….I must make a trip to Michael’s tomorrow,
and hope they are having a sale.
What about you? What do you hang on your door
after Christmas?
Here are a few pics of Winter Wreaths
which I hope will provide some inspiration.
By the way….(minus the gold bow) the latter pic is my fave.
I think the white spray-painted pinecones and
other natural elements look very Wintry.
I think a white-ish bow would look better.
I could even see some of faux snow applied here and there.
I am thinking I might try to work in my antique ice skates.
They are heavy, but I think it can be done.
Fingers crossed I get inspired at the Craft Store. 🙂
Sending you warm thoughts…

I like the last wreath, too…it does remind me of winter. Good question on what to use for winter. I usually keep my fresh wreath up without the red bow.

Hi Barb! Great inspiration pics! A winter wreath has always been a puzzle to me, too…hard to look wintry without looking Christmasy! I love that last one, too! Happy week!…hugs…Debbie

I use to do wreaths on my door and I did a blue and white snowflake wreath for winter. That was years ago probably in the early 90s but now I have a full glass french door so the only time a wreath is up is at Christmas. I love the view out and the light that comes in so no obstructing that for Me. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. Love the idea of the skates. I also love a sled by a door for winter!! you are so clever can’t wait to see yours,Kathysue
