Let your front door announce spring with one of these Farmhouse Style wreaths. What better way to shake off winter’s blahs than to celebrate earth’s reawakening?
All of these wreaths reflect the simple honesty of Farmhouse style. So they use natural fibers as their starting point.
Each project reflects a different Farmhouse type. The more formal projects use a woven willow base. In contrast, the homier ones use a grapevine wreath base.
Most of us think of farmhouses sitting in the fertile landscape of broad plowed fields. But you can find farmhouses anywhere. That is why I wrapped up this group of projects with a desert succulent inspired Farmhouse wreath.
Simple Farmhouse Spring Wreath
This French Farmhouse style wreath uses some elements not found in other farmhouse styles.
It starts with a willow wreath base. It makes an excellent base through which you can weave the floral embellishments.
The lavender flower pick says French spring to me. The crafter cleverly uses hot glue and the ribbon to secure the lavender in place.
I would select a more formal striped wire ribbon to finish this wreath. I might even use a two ribbon bow. It would add a bit of French flair.
You will need a willow wreath form, lavender picks, and ribbon. It takes about an hour to create this Simple Farmhouse Spring Wreath.
Rustic Spring Wreath
This Rustic Farmhouse style wreath adds a refreshing twist to the style. You start with the unfinished natural fiber of a grapevine wreath. Like you would do with any rustic style wreath.
But you mimic an element from Modern Farmhouse style – the embroidery hoop. So you use a skinny wreath base.
You also use a simple boxwood pic like you would in modern style. Then you return to rustic style by finishing it with a simple ribbon hanger.
You will need a skinny grapevine wreath, dark green boxwood picks, and a simple ribbon hanger. It takes about half an hour to create your Rustic Spring Wreath.
Easy Spring Wreath
This Traditional Farmhouse style wreath pays homage to the natural spring flowers that grew in my midwest farmyard – Forsythia, Dogwood, and Pussy Willow.
You will start with another midwest standard – a woven willow base. I like this base because you can easily plait the flower picks into the wreath.
A couple of picks of Forsythia, Dogwood, and Pussy Willow give you all the spring flowers you need.
When you finish arranging the sprays of flowers, top the whole creation with a beautiful hand-tied bow. I like the simple, unassuming ribbon used in this project.
It will take you about an hour to make your Easy Spring Wreath.
DIY Spring Tulip Wreath
Modern Farmhouse style sticks to its neutrals. This wreath understands it. Not only is there no bow to distract from the sleek simplicity of the modern style, but there is also just one color for the flower.
After you cut the flower picks apart, you will weave them into the wreath base. Be sure to start by spacing four groups evenly around the base. Then you can equally backfill the wreath base.
You will wind up with a nice, even, and full display. Be sure to skip the ribbon and use a metal wreath hanger instead. You don’t want to distract from the massed flowers.
You’ll need an 18inch grapevine wreath base and several picks of white mini tulips. It will take about 45 minutes to complete this cheery DIY Spring Tulip Wreath.
Faux Succulent Inspired Spring Wreath
I don’t suppose that many of us think of Farmhouse style working in the desert.
This project celebrates the spectacular desert spring blossoms. Plus, it applies plants we usually associate with the harsh desert dryness to add a green undertone.
You’ll start by hot gluing the faux succulents to the wreath base. Once you have the basic shape established, layer in the fuzzy ball picks to add interest. Finally, fill in any gaps with some moss.
A ribbon or bow looks out of place to me. So use a metal wreath hanger to finish it off.
You will need a grapevine wreath base, some succulent picks, a few fuzzy spring ball picks, and some moss to make this Faux Succulent Inspired Spring Wreath. It will take you about an hour.
Final Thoughts
Your front door is such an intimate way to invite people into your home. It gives your guests a preview of your style.
It is nice to be able to reflect the changing seasons while maintaining your sense of style.
