A Granny Smith Wreath

By Janette | Decorating

Author:  Autumn (Janette)

Since this is our first year in our new townhouse, I knew I wanted to do something different with our front door for the holidays.  We have what is known in Kentucky as a Keeneland green front door that was pre-determined by our townhouse association.  It’s nothing I can change.  Any green Christmas wreath would not show up against it.

I had the locally-owned neighborhood florist make a beautiful boxwood wreath for me.  To enhance it, I bought some faux Granny Smith apples to it and attached them with a glue gun.  I knew that real apples would be too much of a temptation for the local squirrel population.

I wanted a very simple bow and just added a wired lime-green ribbon in the simplest bow I could make.

The apples and ribbon give it enough color to let passersby know there is a wreath there.

Overall, we are really pleased with the way it looks, and it definitely says Christmas is near.

Take care.

    What a pretty wreath.
    Thank you for your visit to my blog – it gave me the opportunity to return the visit, and I’ve enjoyed it very much. I especially enjoyed your daughter’s wedding post, as we are planning our daughter’s wedding for May 2012. Lots of fun!

    Well I’m always a sucker for a Williamsburg look and your boxwood wreath is a nice nod to the style. Thanks for sharing.

    That is just gorgeous! A couple of years ago, I had an evergreen tabletop arrangement made with green applies. I love the combination.

    This is such a pretty wreath! I love the green apples, they pop against the dark colored door.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the kind comments!

    Love the boxwood and apples!
    Williamsburg is one of my favorite places to visit
    though I have never been there at Christmastime.
    Your entry reminds me of something I would see there!

    Love it Janette!

    I used to put a wooden semi-circle wood frame above the door
    of my last colonial style house, and it was covered with lemon
    leaves and a pineapple, apples and oranges in an arch pattern,
    In order to keep the birds and squirrels from attacking the fruits,
    I dipped each in Mop and Glo! It coats them in a protective shiny finish,
    it seals them and prevents early rotting, and the animals stay away from them!

    Try it! It really works!
