Rustic Christmas wreath ideas for added charm.

Part of the magic of the holidays is the nostalgia woven in. Rustic Christmas wreath ideas borrow from yesteryear, both to stoke nostalgia and to pair elegantly with farmhouse-style looks. Browse the options and imagine what any one of these wreaths could look like over a crackling fireplace.

Burlap bow wreath.
For the classic rustic look, fold strips of burlap into large bows and attach them to a traditional wreath base.
Bronze bell wreath.
Use an evergreen wreath or, for a change, a grapevine wreath as a base, then add clusters of small bells painted with an antique bronze color.
Gingerbread cookie wreath.
Gingerbread cookies are known to grow rock hard when left out long enough. Use this to your advantage and attach some hardened cookies to an evergreen wreath for that farmhouse feel.
Wine cork wreath.
Attach as many wine corks as you can to a wreath base for a timeless look. This would be especially appealing in the dining room, or showcased in a photo on your Christmas meal invitations.
