Have you hung a fall wreath on your front door yet?

Or, even a variation of autumn wreath ideas?

Changing the front door decor is always my signal that a new season has begun. And, with all the amazing colors, scents, and sights of autumn, a Fall wreath for a welcoming front entryway is transformative!

It got me wondering…how did the tradition of the Fall wreath get started?

The History of the Fall Wreath

Fall is a time of year when the leaves change color and the air gets crisp. It’s also a time when people decorate their homes for the autumn season. One popular way to do this is by hanging a fall wreath on the front door. But where did this tradition come from?

Though the fall wreath is a common sight today, it actually has a long and storied history. The tradition of hanging wreaths dates back to ancient times when they were used as a symbol of victory in battle. (Oh, those conquering Romans!)

In the Middle Ages, wreaths became associated with Christmas and were often used as decorations in homes and churches. It wasn’t until the 19th century that the fall wreath began to take its current form.

Hanging items from the prior year’s harvest was a symbol of preparing for the upcoming harvest with the hope of a bountiful crop.

Today, fall wreaths are a popular way to create a festive front porch entrance to any home, and their cheerful design is a reminder of the beauty of the fall season.
