Traditional Christmas Wreath And Garlands

Draped cedar garlands and berry-stuffed wreaths add an old-world touch to a home's exterior.

Use simple and nostalgic greenery to emphasize your house's standout architectural elements. Here, a regal lion door knocker is framed by a wreath of variegated holly. Just above, a fir wreath draws the eye up to the entry's pretty peaked roof. The planters at the bottom of the beams flanking the door feature juicy red ilex berries as a flamboyant focal point.
