Decorating with Christmas Wreaths

Christmas Carnation Wreaths from Family Circle

My neighbors Christmas tree appeared in their front window.  Traditionally we wait unti the day after Thanksgiving to put up our tree, but as Thanksgiving draws closer the call of Christmas is getting harder to ignore.  I don't know that I have time to pull out the tree before next Thursday, but I might start on a Christmas wreath.

There are a ton of ideas out there for DIY wreaths, so instead of sharing tutorials on how to make some, I thought I would share some ideas on how to decorate with them.  Three seems to be the magic number with wreaths, so here are some wreath threesomes (like the three Christmas carnation wreaths from BHG) that I love.

Three over the mantel seems pretty traditional, but I love Martha's idea of hanging three Christmas wreaths on your front door.


And from there my search for three wreaths snowballed.







Now if that doesn't make you want to dig out your Christmas wreaths than you are probably okay to wait until after Thanksgiving.

Wow, such inspiration. My tree went up last Friday. I just couldn't resist.
