Inspirational Holiday Decorating Ideas with Garlands and Wreaths
Today is a good day! I have some holiday greens I purchased from the Boy Scouts being delivered. One of my favorite greenery pieces is the garland. There are so many things you can do with garlands, and the most important place to start decorating is your entry way!
Garlands and wreaths are a quick, simple and classy way to decorate for the holidays in a short amount of time. Below are ideas for using them, and you can customize them to match your style with additional layers and garnishes as time allows. Garlands and wreaths are a great place to start, and if you only have time to hang the greenery, you will still have beautiful holiday decorations!

You can have fun decorating with garlands by starting with the basic greenery and adding to it by tieing ball ornaments or other decor to garlands. You can layer bead garlands with the greenery, and/or lights, clusters of ball ornaments, and wrap ribbon around them.

You can think creatively for where you hang your wreaths. I love the effect of hanging a wreath from each front window, and/or wrapping lights around wreaths. You can also hang them in multiples for greater impact…

If that isn’t a coincidence! I still had planned on decorating our front door today but wanted to read a little more about Christmas decorating ideas and I come across your post.
Now my head is spinning and I got totally new ideas how to decorate our front door this year.
Thanks for sharing those great pictures.
Happy Holidays
