The only limit is your creativity. But if you’re looking for some basic advice, these are some traditional choices:
Bows
Bows are probably the most traditional option. Oftentimes, a wreath only needs a large bow at the top or the bottom to look complete.
Because they’re so traditional, they may seem like a boring choice, but that’s far from the truth.
For one, there’s an endless variety of options you can use. Ribbon comes in a wide range of fabrics and finishes. Choose a satin option for some elegance, or a burlap option for something more rustic. You can even choose a glitter option for some glam.
They’re not just for decorating with either. Using these as a hanging hook is a fun way to dress things up. You can also thread the tails or extra ribbon around the wreath, for a really gorgeous look.
And if you can’t find an option you like, it’s easy to learn how to make bows with ribbon. Here’s one great tutorial:
As you can see, there’s actually a lot of room for creativity!
Ribbon comes in a lot of colors, patterns, and textures. And how you tie the ribbon can also create a different look.
So have some fun with it! Embrace different colors and styles, and come up with something unique for you.
Signs or Hanging Accents
Signs are a popular choice, particularly if you want some added personalization. These can hang from the center of the wreath, or directly with the flowers and foliage.
You can do things like monograms, inspirational sayings, or welcome. For a truly personal touch, you can also buy a little chalkboard sign and write whatever you want on it.
Hanging accents come in a larger variety. For example, you can choose them according to the season, like jingle bells in the winter, and flip flops in the summer. Things like hearts are also popular choices.
Seasonal Embellishments
Seasonal options are popular because they can take any plain wreath and turn them into something festive and fun.
If you’re looking for some wreath decorating ideas, here are some great seasonal choices:
Popular Spring/ Easter embellishments include:
- Bunny

Most also come with tools that you’ll need. Although, with some, you may have to purchase wire cutters and floral wire on your own. Be sure to check the product for what’s included.
