One of the best things about Christmas decorations is that you can be as creative as you like or keep things traditional - and that goes for your festive wreath, too
Christmas is on the way - but while some people think it is too early to get the tree out of the loft, it's definitely not too early for a wreath!
The foliage-heavy decorations can make even the drabbest front door look jolly, and this year there are more new designs, colours and textures available than ever before.
We've picked out some of our favourites that will suit all budgets, from a cute Disney design to an OTT showstopper that will give gin lovers a fantastic festive G&T every day in December!
Want to have a crack at making your own?
There are also lots of wreath making masterclasses happening over the next few weeks, so why not get a group of pals together and make a night of it?
