A Colorful Wreath That Coordinates

A lemon yellow front door calls for a summer wreath dotted with—what else?—lemons. Add a lemon-accented doormat for good measure. If your front door is painted a standout color, consider using that as your starting point.

An Easy DIY Wreath

Don't consider yourself the DIY type? Micheala Diane Designs may convince you otherwise. She encourages a simple hack to enhance your own summer wreath.

The trick? Purchase a wreath that already has greens on it, and then add florals and decorations to your liking. That creates a semi-custom wreath that's far easier than starting from scratch.

A Basket Full of Flowers

Different shape, same feeling. Instead of a wreath, Kay Volmar of Once Upon a 1912 hung a textured basket full of flowers on her front door. It’s a refreshing twist on the look—one that would be a breeze to recreate yourself.

A Heart-Shaped Summer Wreath

Creating a heart-warming welcome with a heart-shaped summer wreath. With only half of the wreath decorated in flowers, the shape stands out all-the-more.

A Wreath of Bountiful Blooms

If your motto is "the more, the merrier," this Terrain wreath wreath may be the best fit for you. It packs a serious punch of personality with a bountiful, colorful display of preserved seasonal flowers. One caveat: with such delicate dried blooms, you'll want to keep a similar design inside, away from the elements.

A DIY Pom Pom Wreath

A Neutral-Toned Wreath

Minimalists, this wreath is for you. Florist Bracken and Berry created this design with pale blue and white dried florals on the bottom half, exposing the branches on top. It's sweet, simple, and summery.

A Dried Citrus Wreath

Dust off your dehydrator. Take wreath inspiration from Alexis Dunlap, who arranged dried slices citrus into this stunning arrangement. Using various types of citrus (like blood oranges and grapefruit) ensures you mix up the depth of color and size of slices.

A Coordinating Wreath

No need to limit the foliage to your front door. Instead, coordinate your summer wreath with the surrounding greenery, like a topiary or hanging flower basket.

A Welcome Home Wreath

This DIY dried flower wreath from A Beautiful Mess includes a heartwarming message—"welcome home"—that's appropriate all year long. There's nothing garish about this wreath. It stands out for how sweet and petite it is.

A Cottage-Like Wreath

A Patriotic Wreath

Celebrate the summer holidays with a splash of red, white, and blue. (Specifically, painted grasses, green wheat, and red amaranth.) This handmade wreath from Pottery Barn is made with botanicals harvested on a farm in the Pacific Northwest, instantly brightening your door and surely your mood too.

A Pampas Grass Wreath

For a wreath that’ll easily transition into fall, stick to a dried grass wreath. It’s simple and seasonless. Wrap pampas grass around a grapevine wreath for a similar look, or look to Etsy if you're not much of a DIY-er.

A Eucalyptus Summer Wreath

You can’t go wrong with a eucalyptus wreath. It’s versatile for all times of year and can be embellished with additional decorations depending on the season. Plus, if you use fresh eucalyptus, you’ll get a whiff of its fresh scent every time you come home.
