Did you know that there are as many varieties of artificial wreaths just as there are holiday trees? During the Christmas season, creativity runs high, which results in numerous artificial wreath and tree varieties! With this increasing diversity, Christmas celebrants can now personalize their holiday decor as they desire using the new trends in wreaths and trees.

Classic Artificial Wreaths

This group is made up of evergreen artificial wreaths that mimic the traditionally styled artificial trees. They are composed of plastic PVC/PE boughs twisted together to form a ring of branches. As adornment, each artificial wreath can be fixed with traditional poinsettia blooms or mistletoe berries. These can be hung on doorways to welcome guests into the home.

Advent Artificial Wreaths

Perhaps the progenitor of trends in wreaths for the holidays, an advent artificial wreath is recognized by the characteristic boughs topped by four candles. Three of the candles are purple in color, signifying the sorrow before the coming of Christ and one is in pink to symbolize the joy we feel at his birth. They can be found in churches and are traditionally lit during the advent season. Catholics often make it a custom to place an advent wreath on their altar.

Dried Artificial Wreaths

In complete contrast to the classic artificial wreaths, these are composed of dried branches. They often come in holiday hues such as gold or silver and can be adorned in with dried fruit and flowers. They are used to bring a more natural and abundant feel to holiday parties and homes. They can also be used as year-round interior decor.

Draped Artificial Wreaths/Garlands

These artificial wreaths, also called garlands, put a new spin on the classic wreath design. They are elongated and can be draped elegantly atop doorways or entranceways within homes. Adornments for this variety include a fruits as well as lengths of ribbon, helping it symbolize a look of spring and plenty. They are ideally used by those who want to bring the joy of springtime into their dwellings.

Other Artificial Wreaths

Nowadays, an artificial wreath can be made with a wide variety of materials. People use anything from feathers to plastic balloons. Whether funky or elegant, each wreath is meant to suit the personality of its owner and carries the overall theme of the surrounding holiday decor.

A true and lasting tradition, artificial wreaths have earned their place in our hearts and minds as a well-loved part of the holidays.
