Christmas Is Coming Don’t Forget to Get the Celebration Wreath
In order for your New Year and Christmas to be remembered exactly, it is very important to create a special atmosphere inside the house. Over the past few years, beautiful and original wreaths have begun to be massively used. They are usually hung either on the fireplace or on the front door from the outside. Let’s talk about the features of choosing a Christmas wreath, why it should be used, what materials of manufacture can be used.
How did it start?
It should be noted that the tradition of hanging a New Year’s wreath has existed for over 2000 years. This is due to the fact that our ancestors believed in the cyclical nature of life and nature. It was the wreath that symbolized this. At that time, they were made during the winter solstice, thereby also confirming the change from one season to another.
How it is being used now?
Now, this attribute is used to create a festive atmosphere in the house for the New Year and Christmas holidays. To choose it correctly, you need to take into account the following features:
The size of the wreath. Its diameter can be different, it is best to choose depending on where you decide to install it. For example, if it will be placed on the front door, then you should choose a medium-sized wreath. But for decorating a fireplace, a small one is quite suitable. Also, consider the amount of different decor and the size of the room. The larger the decor, the less you choose a wreath. Moreover, if the room for decoration is small.
Manufacturing material. You can choose wreaths from both synthetic and natural materials. Wreaths made of artificial branches are in particular demand, as they look beautiful. At the same time, you do not need to purchase them again every year. Modern wreaths perfectly imitate natural coniferous branches.
Also, look at the other elements of the wreath decoration. These can be various ribbons, bells, houses, small deer, and the like. Now there are even original wreaths that are backlit. Most often it is LED.
The peculiarity of the attachment of branches. Pay attention during the purchase to how well the branches are fastened together. If there are strongly sticking out or not fixed parts, then it is best to refuse it.
When choosing a wreath, also look at the shade of the branches, how natural and rich it is.
Where else it can be placed beside doors?
A wreath over the fireplace. Another popular wreath spot is right above the fireplace. There it looks just amazing and creates an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. Unfortunately, not every home will fit a fireplace, even an electric one. But there is a way out: to make a temporary “fireplace” out of boxes and remove it after the holidays.
Wreath on the shelves. And if you want to move away from templates, just place the wreath on a horizontal surface, leaning it against the wall, or hang it between the shelves in a bookcase – it will turn out beautifully and original. True, in this case, the wreath should be without spruce branches – otherwise, it will look cumbersome.
