Now is about the right time to take that Christmas wreath down from your door and replace it with a Valentine’s Day-themed alternative. Yes, they certainly do exist! And they’re absolutely lovely. Have a look below at some of the different variations you can buy or make for yourself.
A Door Full of Flowers
Everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is all about flowers and chocolate, and a flowery wreath certainly fits with that kind of theme! Have a look at this gorgeous pink tulip wreath from OurSentiments and this lovely heart-shaped grapevine wreath from TwoInspireYou made with artificial berries.
Lovestruck by Burlap
Going for a rustic look maybe? Then burlap will be your best friend! Here’s a simple heart-shaped burlap wreath from WreathsbyRebeccaB with a bright red bow as the finishing touch. This is one type of wreath that would be easy enough to make yourself.
