Welcome December!
I have been waiting for this day for months—the first day of December and the day I finally let myself pull out all the boxes of Christmas décor! I have cheated a little bit and over the weekend filled up all my empty vases and bowls with an assortment of ornaments, hung stockings from my rafters and switched out my candles. I think that next on my list is going to be a wreath—I am trying to decide if I should enjoy the aroma of a real one or the longer life of a less traditional option. I have long loved ones made of metallic balls and love the fun twist of placing it around faux antlered critters on the wall.
And the whimsical nature of this one decked in marshmallows would certainly be perfect way to tempt a white Christmas.
Or I could attempt to make a soft and romantic wreath with greenery and beautiful blooms.
But it would also be fun to make one out of colored card stock cutouts.
Lastly I have always wanted to have a pine cone wreath but don’t think I would ever be able to create the lovely the texture of this one.

Have you hauled your holiday décor boxes up from the basement?

I am in a similar predicament - I am trying to decide whether I want a real wreath or if I want a metallic ornament one. (I just love the first, image).
The other options you've included here are lovely, too. How sweet is the Marshmallow one?? Let me know what you finally decide on!
I scored a square pine cone wreath at Kirkland's after Christmas last year and I'm excited about hanging it this year.
I couldn't find one I liked so I glued pinecones to a twig wreath, then spray painted white and added a silver reindeer in the middle with purple/pink fairy lights!! looks great with my purple front door!!
I am so excited for the Christmas!!
Happy decorating!!

A sweet day to you :)
These are some great options. Personally, I am leaning towards the metallic ornament wreath. CB2's blog has a great DIY tutorial: http://blog.cb2.com/2009/10/14/wreath-how-to/
Definitely let us know what wreath you decide to hang in your home.
Happy Holidays, Blair!
Especially loving the second to last one!
