It’s that time of year when we start to think about dressing our house for Christmas. And what better way to start than by making your own seasonal wreath? There are plenty of classes and workshops available to learn how to do it, but Wildflower has put together our pick of the best wreaths for this Christmas, to show you how it’s done by the experts. Take a look at our galleries below to see the top trends for wreaths this festive season.
Trend 1: Dried flowers
Not only are they sustainable, but dried flowers bring pops of colour to your wreath, and add texture. Try vibrant orange, bright pink and dark purple dried blooms – they look fabulous contrasted with traditional dark green foliage, or against the soft grey of eucalyptus.

Trend 2: Wild & Foraged
With sustainability front of mind this Christmas, make your wreath from foraged finds from the hedgerows and garden. It’s a style where anything goes, depending on what you find, and it’s a guaranteed way to make your wreath unique. This year there are plenty of berries and hips to be found, but also try teasel heads and echinops, dried poppy or nigella heads. Feathers are a bold choice! So go wild with your design, creating interesting shapes and textures with your foraged finds.

Trend 3: Bright Ribbons
Nothing makes a wreath look more luxurious than a velvet ribbon. This year try contrasting or complimentary coloured velvet ribbons to adorn your wreath in rich shades of blue, pink, red, orange and green.

Trend 4: Unusual Shapes
It’s not just about wreaths! Be playful with your creations and try interesting shapes such as swags, garlands, half-wreaths and stars. Use a sturdy frame and make sure all of your foliage is secure, especially with some of the trickier shapes.

Trend 5: Green & Gorgeous
Make the most of winter foliage by creating an all-green wreath. You can rely on different textures to give your wreath impact by layering foliage in shades of green, giving your creation an understated elegance and natural beauty.

Trend 7: Traditional
For purists, nothing beats a traditional wreath, with dark green foliage and hints of red and orange. Just make sure your wreath is packed with foliage, and adorned with decorations to make an impact.
