When you think of wreaths, ones festooned with red-and-green touches likely come to mind. But we’re here to tell you that wreaths work for every season, from fall wreaths to spring wreaths, and even those that work for summer. As soon as the temperatures rise, we’re guessing that you take down your heavy, cozy decor, and instead, embrace outdoor accents that are fresh, airy, and celebrate the season. Wreaths fit right into that aesthetic, especially when they’re made of breezy materials like raffia, straw, or paper. You’ll also aim for light and bright colors to fit the summertime vibe, like whites, pinks, yellows, and greens. Basically, your wreath can perfectly match your backyard garden!
And since this is the season of fun, these wreaths also take a lighthearted turn, with teensy beach balls and glittery seashells stealing the scene. While these wreaths will look ideal on your front door (time to welcome all those summertime guests!), you can also display them on your patio or even inside to add a touch of brightness to your home. Or you could make them specially for upcoming summer events, like birthday parties, barbecues, and even the 4th of July. No matter how you choose to show off these wreaths, they’re sure to look flawless all summer long.
