Festive wreaths are iconic pieces of Christmas kit. They can go on the front door of your home, or over the mantelpiece. You can further enhance your festive wreath by hanging lights on it, and this blog will explain how to do that.
What kind of wreath should you choose?
You have more than one kind of wreath to choose from. Plain models are ideal, because any type or colour of lights will look good on them. Another possibility is to choose a flocked wreath. These are similar to snow Christmas trees, creating a white Christmas effect. Cool or warm white lights will look best added to them.
The final option is luxury wreaths, which usually have decorations like pinecones and berries on them.
What sort of lights should you pick?
This largely depends on the wreath size. The standard is 24 inches, which fits perfectly on an average door. For a festive wreath of that scale, you should use fairy lights. This is because the thin wire is easy to thread through the wreath without it being visible.
You can also get bigger Christmas wreaths of anywhere between 30 and 36 inches in size. If you want one of those, you should think about using cluster lights for it. The greater density of bulbs will ensure the lights are not too far apart. Use battery lights for an outdoor wreath and mains-powered ones for indoors.
Adding effective lighting to a festive wreath is an easy task and can add extra sparkle to the season.
