A Classic Balsam Fir with Crimson Velvet
There is an undeniable magic in returning to the roots of holiday decorating. The classic balsam fir wreath represents the quintessential scent and sight of a traditional Christmas. To elevate this timeless favorite, select a thick, double-faced balsam wreath that boasts a deep forest green hue and a rich, natural fragrance. The centerpiece of this design is a luxurious, wide crimson velvet ribbon. Instead of a stiff, pre-made bow, hand-tie a loose, cascading bow with long, elegant tails that drape gently past the bottom of the greenery.
To add depth and texture, weave in small clusters of glossy red winterberries and natural, lightly frosted pinecones. This design thrives on symmetry and balance, making it the perfect welcoming statement for a traditional colonial or craftsman-style front door. The contrast of the deep green needles against a bright red ribbon evokes instant nostalgia, reminding everyone who crosses your threshold of cozy nights by the fireplace and the timeless joy of the season.
