Hanging a wreath on the front door is an easy way to make your home look and feel festive for fall. As the season changes and nature starts to wind down, taking the time to decorate can be a relaxing way to celebrate autumn and all its upcoming holidays. Add wreaths to your door, your fireplace, your dining room wall, or even your candles to make your home feel cozy throughout.

Whether you're decorating your front door or your mantel, measure your space to make sure you buy a wreath that's the right size. Most are between 18 to 24 inches in diameter. A wreath that's too big may be too heavy or bulky, while an undersized wreath won't have the right impact.
Fall wreaths often feature red, orange and yellow leaves typical to the season, but it's possible to branch out with wreaths made with artificial berries, late-season flowers, or twigs and pinecones. Some even have LED lights incorporated. (Just make sure you have the right batteries for them.)
Wreaths rarely include mounting hardware, so make sure you have a wreath hanger to properly display it over your door.
Be prepared for your wreath to need some finishing touches upon arrival. Since wreaths are often shipped in a compressed format to protect them, yours will most likely need to be "fluffed up" and some twigs and wires pulled into place before it looks ready to display.
If your wreath is made with materials that are prone to shedding, try misting the branches with hairspray to hold them together. If you need to reattach part of a wreath, glue it back into place using a glue gun, holding the piece with tweezers if you need better positioning.
Few artificial wreaths can withstand direct sun or autumn weather without bleaching or shedding, so plan to hang your fall wreath indoors or under a covered porch. If it's going to be on an exposed front door, look for a weatherproof wreath.
Even if they're not made with natural materials, wreaths are inherently fragile and need to be stored carefully to prevent them from being crushed or broken. In the off-season, store your wreath in specialized wreath boxes or ordinary cardboard boxes. This will help the wreath retain its shape, especially if it has bows or fragile accents.
If you have space on a garage or closet wall, consider storing your wreath in a plastic or canvas bag and hanging it up. Wrapping it in a storage bag will protect it from dust, while storing it on a wall helps ensure it's easy to find next year.
This wreath is decorated with yellow paper flowers, making it a lovely pick for fans of more floral wreaths. It also features a seasonal wired ribbon bow. Note that this wreath is not weatherproof and should be hung up in a protected area.
