Unique Ways to Decorate with Your Christmas Wreath Outside
You can kick off the Christmas cheer early by placing wreaths on your outside gates or even fences. This lets you decorate your entire home and bring up the Christmas spirit throughout every element of your home.
- On the Gate: If your property has a gate, you can ring in that Christmas spirit even when it’s closed with a stunning showstopper of a wreath like this huge iced weeping cedar and cone wreath or this wintry accents rope hanging wreath. Just remember to only hang it on one side of the gate, so it can be opened and closed with ease.
- On Your Fences: Your fences are a great place to add decorative elements. You can combine garland with wreaths to create a looping décor that really stands out beautifully. Just remember to choose smaller wreaths that match your garland, like these hanging faux pinecone mini wreaths.
- On Your Roofline: If you have a low roof, you can hang a wreath right at the top of the pitch, inviting in guests and standing front and center for the rest of your neighbors to enjoy. As this wreath can be farther away from eye level than the others in this list, choose options that pop, like this festive holiday hanging wreath.

Place Christmas Wreaths on Windows
Your windows are another perfect place to hang Christmas wreaths. This is especially true if you have particularly large windows, giving you plenty of space to hang the wreath without blocking that much-needed light during the winter months.
- Think Alternative: Since the wreath is inside, you have more freedom to choose delicate, intricate wreaths to display (no pesky winter elements involved). From something unique like this simple decorative blueberry wreath or this faux baby’s breath twig wreath to an intricate classic like this fall harvest floral wreath, you can go all-out with elements usually too delicate for outside.
- Think Small: If your windows are smaller, simply choose smaller wreaths. There are adorable mini wreath options like this mini wreath with plaid ribbon holders, or choose something unexpected, like this adorable autumn foliage persimmon pick set.
- Combine: Another easy way to decorate your windows with wreaths is to truly combine elements. Two looping garlands that connect to a grand wreath, like this hanging gold metal bow wreath, can instantly look like a completed piece of art. It’s a great idea if you don’t actually have a fireplace mantle, but want the look of one.

Christmas Wreath Table Sets
Christmas wreaths also look absolutely beautiful on the table (or even on the ground). While garland is going to be a better fit for most tablescapes, if your rectangular table is particularly large, or if you have a round table, wreaths are going to be your best friend:
- Centerpiece: Every beautifully set table needs a centerpiece. Choose this faux pampas decorative wreath if you’re after a more neutral, classic Christmas experience to decorate around, or opt for something more traditional, choose a uniform wreath like this birch bark and pine option instead.
- Back of Chairs: Another elegant way to decorate with wreaths is to hang them at the back of the dining table’s chairs. Something small and sweet like this wooden berry beaded wreath extends your tablescape to the entire table, chairs, and all.
- Hanging from the Light Fixture: Finally, consider hanging smaller or lighter wreaths from the light fixture above your table. This really adds drama to your table. Just remember to choose either a hanging accent wreath or opt for something decorative, like this antique brass leaf wreath, for 360-degree appeal.
Find the Right Christmas Wreath for Your Style
Remember to find the wreath that fits within your already established decor style. No need to make major changes. Christmas wreaths can function as accents to what’s already there.
