The Art of Christmas Wreaths & Garlands

There are few things more evocative of Christmas than the sight of a Christmas wreath on the door, or a festive garland sweeping across the mantelpiece, candles a-flicker. Timeless yet ever-evolving, these seasonal flourishes are the ultimate mood setters, announcing to the world that Christmas has officially arrived. At Rockett St George, we like our wreaths and garlands with a twist: rich in texture, bold in personality and dripping with modern magic. Whether it’s antique gold glamour, pops of playful pink, or hand-crafted details with a whisper of tradition, this year’s collection is all about reimagining festive favourites in a way that feels fresh, fabulous and distinctly you.

The Charm Of Garlands

You won’t be surprised to hear us say this, but when it comes to Christmas garlands and wreaths, forget subtle. They’re your opportunity to go bold, to layer textures, and to turn your home into your very own Christmas story. Draped along a mantelpiece, twined around a banister or strung across a festive tablescape, garlands are the decorative thread that ties Christmas together.

Take the Antique Gold Doves Decorative Christmas Garland. Symbolising peace, love and a little touch of celestial wonder, this garland is a poetic reminder of the sentiment of the season. Styled along the dining table, with flickering candles that catch the gold in all the right places, it’s the sort of detail that makes a cosy, quiet dinner feel like a moment in time – for all the right reasons.

Then there’s the sparkle of the Gold Tinsel Scalloped Decorative Garland. If disco-ball energy came in garland form, this would be it! A playful scene-stealer, it’s guaranteed to get guests in the mood to celebrate. Draped along a mirror or wrapped around a drinks trolley, it turns everyday spaces into instant party zones. 

For those who prefer their sparkle with a twist, the Pink Tinsel Scalloped Decorative Garland is unapologetically bold, bringing a pop of romance to your festive palette. Because if you can’t feel the love at Christmas, when can you?!

Christmas Garlands With Craft & Character

Not every garland is about glitz. Some are about nostalgia, craftsmanship and the beauty of tradition, reimagined. The Beautifully Handcrafted ‘Merry Christmas’ Velvet Garland embodies just that. With its rich velvet texture and elegant lettering, it’s as much a state of mind as it is decoration. Hang it across the fireplace or above a doorway to instantly announce: this is a home where Christmas is celebrated in style.

Equally timeless are the Beautiful Handcrafted Classic Paper Garlands in Bright Red and Moss Green. They’re a nostalgic nod to childhood festivities, and crafted with as much care now as they were then (albeit with slightly less glue and glitter...) The red adds a punch of festive vibrancy, while moss green offers a deeper, moodier tone that pairs beautifully with metallic accents. Together, they create a layered backdrop to the festivities that feels understated yet bold, and authentically Christmas.

Baubles & Metallics For Festive Drama

Dramatic? Us?! For those who can’t resist the call of the theatre, and love to answer it dripping in gold, the Antique Gold Bauble Effect Christmas Garland is a masterclass in statement styling. Rich, gilded and oozing with vintage glamour, it brings a luxe edge to any space. Hung along a staircase, it turns a transitional space into a show-stopper, while styled against glassware and candles, it channels all the elegance of a Christmas cocktail soirée. It’s a piece that lives by ‘more is more’, yet still looks effortlessly sophisticated.

Wreaths That Welcome

If garlands are for drama, wreaths are for a warm embrace. The very first thing your guests see, a Christmas wreath sets the tone before they’ve even stepped inside your home. And few pieces do it better than our Silver Leaf Door Wreath. Chic, modern, quirky and unique, it’s a glamorous alternative to classic greenery. Think silver tones shimmering beautifully in the winter light, creating an entrance that feels polished and luxurious, yet warm and welcoming. This is Christmas, Rockett St George style.

Bold, Beautiful Styling

When it comes to wreaths and garlands, the magic is in the mix. Don’t be afraid to layer textures and tones to create a look that feels rich and personal. Here’s how we’re styling Christmas garlands and wreaths in our homes: 

• Mix metallics with naturals: Pair the Antique Gold Doves Garland with the Moss Green Classic Paper Garland for a contrast that feels both organic and luxe.

• Play with colours: Pink tinsel against red paper garlands? Absolutely. Clash with confidence for a look that curated and intentional.

• Think beyond the mantelpiece: Try draping garlands around headboards, hanging them vertically in windows, or styling them as part of your festive tablescape.

• Glow up: Paper garlands look stunning when lit with the soft glow of fairy lights, while metallic garlands catch the candlelight for a joyful sparkle.

• Layer your wreaths: Add fairy lights to your Silver Leaf Wreath for extra sparkle and gorgeousness - the only limit is your imagination! 

The Final Flourish

Christmas is, at its heart, about creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that envelopes your guests in a loving embrace. It’s the details - the shimmer of a garland, the welcoming glitz of a wreath - that transform a house into a home filled with festive magic. Whether you lean towards nostalgic papercraft, bold tinsel, or the sophistication of antique gold, Rockett St George’s wreaths and garlands are designed to make every corner of your space feel considered, beautiful and completely unforgettable.

So, this season, think of your wreaths and garlands not just as decorations, but as storytellers. They’re the pieces that hold memories, spark conversation, and set the stage for everything that happens at Christmas. Remember, the holidays aren’t about perfection - they’re about personality. And nothing expresses yours quite like a the way your home is decorated for the festive season.
