Top 8 Williamsburg Christmas Wreaths

I don’t know much about decorating, but one home decoration I DO like is the series of wreaths Colonial Williamsburg makes for Christmas out of all-natural materials. They’re hung on the restored buildings every Christmas.

Here are photos of eight of my favorites (plus one bough):

Chinese lanterns, hops, gomphrena, sticks.

Yarrow, pine cones, winterberry, cardoon, fir.

Yarrow, cockscomb, cotton, fir, cut pomegranate.

Osage oranges, apples, branches, winterberry, pine.

Magnolia, pomegranates, apples, pine.

Lemons, winterberry, pine, holly.

Apples, white pine and pine cones.

Fir, lemon slices, variegated holly, a dough fish.

Pomegranates, lemons, apples, pine cones, rose hips, cardoon, fir.
