It is full on Christmas posts & outfits from here on out! :) Tomorrow we will be kicking off our own 25 Days of Christmas! (I'm sure it will be more like 18 ..but I'll do mah best) FREE Christmas printables, gift guides, holiday outfits, recipes & other festive ramblings to come!
I had a lot of questions emailed to me about our wreaths, so I wanted to share this It does seem like a pain in the ass task to buy & hang wreaths in all the windows, but it really isn't so bad! We bought real, fir wreaths from the Christmas Tree Farm to put on the front doors... but the rest? $2.50 fake wreaths from WalMart. They just needed a little fluffing! Rather than pay an additional $2 per window for hangers, the wreaths are attached with fishing wire looped around the locks on the inside. Clearly it was easy for me since Harper & I just stood around watching my husband do all the work... he may have a different opinion! :)

I wish I had an unlimited exterior illumination budget so we could go fully Griswold style on our house.

I love the window wreaths! That's very much a south/east coast thing.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering! I am from the Northwest & have never seen window wreaths--just an occasional wreath on the front door. But I love it, it looks amazing!
DeleteI love the wreaths! Festive yet still chic :) You inspire me!! & I love the matching leopard, of course!
ReplyDeleteSo the wreaths are on the inside of the windows? It's hard to tell in the picture.
ReplyDeleteThe wreaths are on the outside. When my husband opened each window from the inside, he looped the wire around the lock and through the crack of where it opens while holding the wreath on the outside, then tied it up! :)
DeleteOh, ok. Thanks for responding! Now I understand why it was so much work. It's definitely worth it; they look great!
