When you think of wreaths, winter ones festooned with red and green touches likely come to mind. But we're here to tell you that wreaths work for every season as proven by fall wreaths and spring wreaths—and yes, that includes the summertime. As soon as the temperatures rise, it's time to embrace accents that are fresh, airy, and celebrate the outdoors.
Summer wreaths fit right into that aesthetic, especially when they're made of breezy materials like raffia, straw, or paper as and decorated with bright colors. These wreath ideas celebrate the season of fun, too, with lighthearted ideas featuring teensy beach balls, tiny swimsuits, and sandy seashells from the shore. You could even craft a summer wreath specifically for upcoming events like summer parties, barbecues, and even the 4th of July. Who doesn't love red, white, and blue patriotic decorations that evoke an all-American summer?
And while these wreaths will look ideal on your front door to greet all those summertime guests, you can also display them on your patio or even inside to add a touch of brightness to your home. (Just wait until you see the floral chandelier!) A wreath is the first thing seen by your house guests, so why not give them a warm welcome all season long? It also sets the tone for all your other décor, so have fun with it.
