Christmas truly begins when we bring fresh greenery into the home for decking the halls (see our favourite indoor Christmas plants for inspiration). Of course, this wouldn't be complete without a beautiful Christmas wreath for the front door.

With their circular shape and evergreen foliage, wreaths are a symbol of eternal life – festooned with holly, ivy and spruce that bring vibrance to the bleak midwinter. Wreaths are also significant during the Christian festival of Advent, decorated with candles that represent the light of Jesus.

Whether you're hanging your wreath on your front door or wall, or using it as an elegant table centre filled with candles, a wreath is the perfect addition to your traditional Christmas decorations.

Eco-friendly Christmas wreaths

Many of the Christmas wreaths we've curated below are made from freshly foraged foliage and are fully compostable, while the dried grass wreaths are also compostable but can be used year after year. There are two faux foliage wreaths in our list, made from quality material that will ensure durability and longevity for many Christmases to come.

How to care for your Christmas wreath

The foliage of your Christmas wreath might become disheveled during delivery, so lay it flat and style the greenery to your liking.

While dried grass or flower wreaths aren't suitable for outdoor use they can be hung on a sheltered front door. Dried grass is very flammable, so keep it away from naked flames.

These Christmas wreaths look beautiful as they are, but if you fancy added a bit of sparkle, try entwining with warm-white lights for a final festive flourish.

Here's how to make your own Christmas wreath

The best Christmas wreaths for 2022

Faux pine and red berry wreath with lights

While the pine foliage and holly berries of this Christmas wreath are artificial, they look remarkably realistic, fresh and vibrant. The faux foliage is also very high quality so the is wreath can be reused year after year – you'll just need to tease and style the foliage each time for a finished look.

Included with the wreath is a set of warm-white micro lights, which you can entwine around the wreath for a touch of Christmas sparkle. The lights come with 3 x AA batteries and a handy timer.

This wreath is 45 cm in diameter.

Christmas eco wreath

The Real Flower Company's luxurious collection of Christmas wreaths are all compostable and biodegradable, with the base made either from moss or biodegradable oasis.

The foliage, herbs and flowers are all grown sustainably on their eco farm in Hampshire, including dried hydrangea, astrantia, lavender, rosemary, bracken and grasses. Some of their arrangements include their signature scented roses, also grown sustainably on their sister farm in Kenya.

Dried linum wreath

A stunning statement piece for an interior door or wall, this wreath is made from dried linum grass and would look particularly beautiful embellished with warm white lights.

Due to the natural materials of the wreath, the colour and shape may vary with each piece. For use indoors or on a sheltered front door.

This wreath is 30cm in diameter.

Starlit wreath

Starlit wreath

For a more pared-back aesthetic, we love this starlit wreath from Sarah Raven, applied with a distressed metal finish for an antique look.

As well as looking wonderful on a door or wall, this Christmas wreath would make a beautiful centerpiece on the dining table, filled with pillar candles.

This wreath is 46cm in diameter.

Golden honesty wreath

Another piece from Sarah Raven, this Christmas wreath is a breathtaking showstopper, made from clusters of bright gold faux honesty seedpods.

Try dressing the wreath with fresh eucalyptus foliage for a stylish contrast, or pair with a pillar candle for a gorgeous table centre.

This wreath is 60cm in diameter.

Christmas rag wreath

This plump and charming wreath is handmade from fabric rags in a choice of festive shades. A ribbon can be added for ease of hanging, and if you'd like a particular colour palette the wreath can be made to order – just allow 3-5 days plus delivery time.

For indoor use or on a sheltered front door. This wreath is 30cm in diameter.

Scented garden wreath

Your London Florist began as a boutique flower shop in North London, and is now supplying arrangements for one of the city's most prestigious stores – Selfridges.

Brass Christmas wreath

Brass Christmas wreath

We love this beautiful brass reusable wreath handmade in India by artisan metalworkers.

Try personalising your display with fresh foliage, dried flowers or fairy lights.

Fresh foliage wreath

Handmade by WreathworksPorium, this Christmas wreath is made from freshly foraged moss, ivy and oak leaves, and decorated with dried teasel, lavender, baby’s breath and more flowers for a splash of colour. The wreath comes a small flower tube imbedded in the foliage if you want to add your own freshly cut flowers. A greetings card can also be included, on request.

This wreath is 25cm in diameter.

Talini brass wreath

This eye-catching brass wreath is made up of a series of geometric shapes and would make a great base for dressing with fresh foliage, dried seedheads and fairy lights. Alternatively, keep it bare for a minimal yet striking Christmas wreath.

This wreath is 44cm in diameter.

Pampas grass wreath

This boho-chic wreath is made of natural dried pampas grass, arranged in a stunning spiral shape on a rattan base. Before you hang your wreath, use a hairdryer (on a low setting) to fluff out the pampas, then apply hair spray to fix.

We think this wreath would make a beautiful wall or door decoration all year round, not just at Christmas.

This wreath comes in a choice of three sizes: 20-30cm, 30-45cm or 48-55cm. For indoor use, or in a sheltered porch.

Christmas living wreath

A perfect Christmas wreath for the green-fingered. The soil-filled, moss-lined frame is planted with cyclamens, silver Calocephalus brownii and black Ophiopogon planiscapus that will last throughout winter and beyond.

The wreaths come in a choice of red, white and pink colour palettes but The Little Hanging Garden Company are happy to mix up the colours, for example, by putting red or brown grasses with red cyclamen, but this is subject to availability.

Written care instructions will be sent with your order, and a gift note can be included. Expect a shipping time of one to two weeks.

Wreaths come in a choice of two sizes: 12" and 16".

Mulled Festive Wreath

Bloom is a London-based, plastic-free online flower delivery service founded by florist Larry Walshe. Their Christmas wreath offering is to die for, especially this citrus-filled wreath which comes in three different sizes.

This year, they have also added DIY kits to their repertoire, so if you're keen to be more hands-on with your Christmas decorations, then they've got you covered.
