Red and White Christmas Wreath - Home for the Holidays
Today's post is special to me because I get to share with you my new front door for the first time and how I've decorated it for Christmas. While I was sad to see my old black door go, it was time. I had originally planned to paint this door black but once it was installed I fell in love with the white.
I first thought of buying a fresh wreath at Costco (those are so gorgeous and for only $16.00 you can't beat them!) but I couldn't find one that wasn't loosing a lot of needles so I rethought that option. 
Later that day I went to Michaels and found a white wreath for under $3.00 and then it hit me! I was decorating the inside this year in whites, reds and black so I decided to continue the look outside. 
I found this ribbon at Michaels as well and the chalkboard look sold me (plus, it was less than $2.00 so, bingo!).
The week before I bought a tube of red ornaments at Joann Fabrics for about $10.00 so I was all set.
I made a wreath bow (I'll have a full tutorial on how you can make the perfect bows for wreaths, gifts and more on Wednesday so I hope you'll come back to check it out!).....
and wired some ornaments together....
and then attached those to the wreath.
I also added some red jingle bells from the Dollar Store and faux red berries to finish things off.
I really love the way it turned out. It was easy to make, thrifty - less than $10 total and it looks perfect on my new front door! So now for the rest of the Home for the Holidays tour - nothing overwhelming but so much beautiful inspiration. Be sure to check out all of the other ideas below and thank you so very much for stopping by - I can't tell you how much it means to me. 
Ooh...that pop of color is perfect, MaryBeth! I love the red against the white. Pinning!
Thank you so much, Larissa! 🙂
I love how red really stands out on a white wreath. Your chalkboard bow is the perfect touch. I'll definitely come back for your bow tutorial. I know how to make a bow but mine never look exactly right so I must be doing something wrong.
I agree with you on the white door. It's a great look!
Thanks so much, Paula! I hope the bow tutorial works for you - let me know. 🙂
Your wreath is os pretty and festive. I especially love the ribbon. And it looks perfect on your new door!
Thank you, Angie. 🙂
What a beautiful wreath Mary Beth! I love the glass on your front door. This beautiful wreath accents it perfectly! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much, Anne! hugs
Hey Mary Beth. I love your wreath. I'm a big fan of red and white. The colors are so clean and crisp!
Your door is so perfect!!! And, you have picked the perfect wreath, it sets that door off just perfectly! I adore contrast, it's kind of an obsession, and you've mastered that perfectly! Merry Christmas! xo
Your wreath is so beautiful, Marybeth! Don't you just love when inspiration hits?! Merry Christmas! XO
Thank you so much, Christy, and Merry Christmas to you as well! xo
I love how glam the red and white looks but that ribbon is perfection. I can't wait to see the tutorial since bows are my nemesis. I'd love it if you would come link up this pretty wreath at our Best of the Weekend party that went live last night and is open until Wednesday.
