Whether your taste runs to Classic Traditional or Granny Chic, these traditional fall wreaths celebrate the season. Each one beckons your guests into your cozy home.
Florals and neutrals speak of timeless comfort. While they evoke a simpler, more elegant time.
The natural wreath elements echo the rich wood tones and patterned wallpaper you have used to express your sophisticated style.
Magnolia Leaf Wreath
This project creates a lush, formal yet modern look. The dried magnolia leaves and pinecones key the darker wood colors identified with the Traditional Style.
The designer added some modern bling to create a visual lift. Plus, she uses the curved grass elements to echo another aspect of the style.
Then she returned to the natural greens of the pine sprays to tie it all together. While she used live natural elements available to her, you can easily find faux foliage to create this project.
You’ll need a willow wreath base, some magnolia picks, several sets of pine cones, dry grass, and pine sprays to complete your Magnolia Leaf Wreath in about two hours.
DIY Colorful Baby’s Breath Wreath
This project builds on the tight floral pattern of babby’s breath. The rounded foam wreath base gives the whole project depth, like a figured crown molding.
You will create the style’s traditional subtle color palette with rattle-can spray paint. This designer used a pastel palette, but you can use one that compliments your entryway.
You might even give it a more modern color pop.
I would use a ribbon hanger to add a little more traditional note.

Simple Fall Berry Wreath
I like this very traditional style wreath. It uses a natural solid green base as the foundation for subtle seasonal colored accents.
You’ll need a 12inch grapevine wreath base, faux tea leaf picks, and assorted berry picks. Perhaps you might try rosehips or autumn berries.
Start by weaving the tea leaf sprigs into the base. Then hot glue the berries to create visual interest.
I like burlap ribbons for my Farmhouse Style wreaths. But I think it is too informal for a Traditional Style project. So I would select a more formal ribbon to hang this wreath.

Holiday Entertaining: Orange & Eucalyptus Wreath
This bold eucalyptus leaf wreath says welcome to anyone who comes to your door. I especially like combining leaves with flower buds to create a subtle play of textures.
The bright contrast with the fruit draws everyone into your home.
Originally, this project used live greenery. But you can easily use faux picks. You will need a wire wreath base, faux eucalyptus picks, some small faux oranges, or kumquats.
This bold wreath doesn’t really need a ribbon to accent it. You can use a metal hanger to place it directly on your door.

Wheat has been a symbol of the fall harvest for centuries. This horseshoe-shaped wreath recalls a traditional shape that works well as an interior decoration.
Perhaps you could put a pair in a formal dining room. Or use one as the highlight for your kitchen-focused home.
You will need a 12inch two-wire wreath frame, two faux wheat bundles, and a copper-colored ribbon.
You will have to cut the wire wreath frame. It was easier for me to complete this project when I used my 8inch bolt cutters. The frame wire is too thick for my regular angle cutters.
