You may not be quite ready to order your Christmas tree and dig out your baubles, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add a sprinkle of early festive cheer to your home. An easy way to get into the holiday spirit without going the whole hog is to adorn your door with a luxurious Christmas wreath, handmade by one of the most experienced florists in the UK.
Advent wreaths date back to the 16th Century when Lutherans in Germany lit candles in wreaths during December while recalling the Nativity story. The tradition soon spread across Christian churches and beyond, and they have now adorned doors across the world during the festive period for centuries. Today, the wreath is no longer associated with religious symbology, with many creative florists putting their own spin on the traditional design to create stand-out decorations.

Your London Florist (YLF) started selling single stem bouquets to Londoners in 2011 and has since transformed into a blooming team of florists who can handle just about any request that comes their way. The team has a selection of wreaths to choose from but, for something different, we like the look of the Wild Rosehip wreath. Packed with a mix of dried foliage and fresh leaves – think thyme, fountain grass, dried oranges, rosehip berries and pine cones – this is the perfect addition to your front door if you’re after something a little less traditional.
