You may be surprised to learn that the idea of hanging a wreath on your front door originally came from the ancient Greeks. Famed for hosting athletic competitions like the marathon and—appropriately!—the Olympics, the age-old society would herald each winner with a crown of olive leaves, and sometimes the athlete would in turn hang it on their door as a sign of victory. But you don’t need to win a gold medal to foster the celebratory vibe that these verdant circlets connote; in fact, a festive summer wreath hung on your entry is the perfect way to liven up your porch or simply greet guests with a sunny welcome.

Palm Beach–based interior designer Shani Core loves that summer wreaths are fun and an easy way to flaunt your style. “From the greenery or floral base to the colors used and the collection of items woven throughout, wreaths are a way to express a homeowner’s creativity and bring another joyful layer to the underlying area,” she tells us.

The best and easiest way to welcome the summertime is by decorating your front door with fresh or faux flowers, dried herbs, and pretty vines. Core, for her part, prefers a good magnolia wreath for the summer season, as they are quintessentially Southern and always a guest favorite. “I love a beautiful ribbon too,” she adds. Still not sure what type of wreath will look best on your front door? Never fear, as we’ve sourced 25 of the best summer wreath options below.
