Suburban Prep







You are the winner of our Pemberley Collections giveaway! You'll be able to chose any wreath of your choice from their site to kick off your holiday decorating. Please email us at mattersofstyle@gmail.com so we can get you in touch with the Pemberley Collections!







Stay tuned after Thanksgiving for another fab MoS giveaway!

Haul out the Holly!





All the gorgeous wreaths at Pemberley Collection have made us feel like we need a little Christmas!  Yes, Thanksgiving is still a week away, but we have to admit we are already enjoying a few Christmas tunes.  One of our favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit is to decorate is with a beautiful wreath.  Of course the traditional fir wreath is always beautiful and smells wonderful, but there are some other fabulous options as well, some of which can be used year-round!





Traditional Holiday Wreaths





Pretty fir wreaths embellished with silver Christmas balls create such a dramatic entrance to this home!





Coastal Living





A very traditional wreath in Southern Living- we love how they added pine trees by the door and added a red-and-white striped doormat.  So festive!





Southern Living








Fruit, magnolia leaves, and pine cones are gorgeous on this front door wreath!  We would recommend avoiding the fruit unless you live in a cold climate, though.  With the crazy 70-degree days we often have here in December, those grapes would be raisins!!











Southern Accents





This room is just so cozy!  The wreath and garland are just perfect over the inviting fireplace.





House Beautiful





We love seeing wreaths hung inside windows instead of outside!  The green and silver combination in this room is so elegant.





Liz Williams





We love a wreath layered over a mirror.  It creates such an interesting depth in a room!  The snowman figurines on the other hand...





House Beautiful





Martha Stewart's wreath with silver accents is perfectly paired with mercury glass and silver vases.





Martha Stewart Living





Tobi Fairley's wreath with apples and pheasant feathers is so unique and beautiful.  You can see her whole holiday spread here! 





Tobi Fairley





Magnolia leaves make the most elegant wreaths.  My grandmother and mom have always decorated with them, and now we have some trees of our own that I can use to decorate.  The thick, waxy leaves are so substantial and stay beautiful for all of the Christmas season.

Nontraditional Holiday Wreaths




 



A beachy twist- this wreath is made of palm tree fronds and is embellished with starfish and raffia. 






Coastal Living Palm Frond Wreath









Red berry wreaths are so cheery.  We like this twist on the traditional red berry wreath, with the addition of the rustic long stems.












Cottage Living







This antler wreath from Oly is anything but traditional!  Perfect for anyone with modern taste (and animal friendly, as it is made of resin). 






Elle Decor







We don't typically think of boxwood wreaths at Christmas, but we absolutely love this one!  The striped ribbon is perfect against the charcoal cabinets.






Cottage Living







Would you guess that this is a paper wreath?  This is so unique and such a fresh take on the traditional wreath.






Etsy, via Absolutely Beautiful Things





This wreath made of colorful glass ornaments incorporates such a fun vintage style into this room!  My mom has some old (antique?) ornaments like this from my grandparents, but she is always nervous to use them because they are so delicate.  Not a good combo for little fingers and pets!  But this wreath is the perfect (and perfectly safe) way to use them!





Home Companion



Leave it to Martha Stewart to make a moss wreath so festive and elegant.  The pine garland and trees in oversizes urns make this front porch so welcoming and stylish.  Did Eddie Ross have a hand in the styling of this porch?  We would believe it if he did!





Martha Stewart Living





Year-Round Wreaths




This yellow baby's breath wreath is so warm and inviting!













Plain white baby's breath is beautiful too!  One stylish MoS friend has one of these she keeps on-hand for anything she hosts, from baby showers (add a pink or blue ribbon) to bridesmaid luncheons (add a ribbon that matches the dresses) to holiday parties (red or green!).  Such a great idea! 








Baby"s Breath via Megan Hobson













How unique is this succulent wreath?  It would be so pretty in a kitchen. 














We make no secret of the fact that this Miles Redd room is one of our favorites!  The red berry wreath layered over the Venetian glass mirror is so elegant and perfect for any time of the year!





Miles Redd





How unique and modern is this grouping of straw wreaths, attached by thick ribbon?!  We love the geometric pattern it creates, and we definitely think you could use this year-round!





Cottage Living









Do you decorate with wreaths?  Just for the holidays or year-round?













MoS Giveaway: Pemberley Collections


Our latest and greatest Matters of Style giveaway comes from Pemberley Collections, purveyor of gorgeous seasonal wreaths and well-priced home and entertaining accessories. Their mission is "sumptuous accessories, sensible prices"- which is something we can certainly get behind! Just in time for the holidays, one lucky MoS reader will win her (or his!) choice of any wreath from the Pemberley Collections website!







Wreaths can be tricky to find, don't you think? It's difficult to find something that is a nice compromise between the "crafty" faux wreaths you'll find at Michaels, but we're also wary of the overwraught and overpriced ones like you'll find at Horchow. Wreaths of fresh greens are reasonably priced but can be a mess- last year I got so tired of sweeping needles off the floor every day from my shedding wreath! Enter Pemberley Collections- their wreaths are well priced, ranging from $38-$135, and are made of preserved fruits, flowers, and greenery. A perfect compromise between elegance and durability! They've got 38 styles to chose from so there's something for everyone.







Anyone who has a beach house or lives in a coastal area need the Beach House wreath! And we are so intrigued by the modern look of the Boxwood Square wreath. It's daring and different!







 








The Cranberry wreath seems perfect for conveying the spirit of a traditional New England Christmas. And the Olive Grove wreath certainly sends a message of hospitality.







 








The Vintage Holiday wreath is replete with gold accents for a little sparkle. And we can't get enough of the artichokes inside the Bohemian wreath.







 








The site also features some wonderful entertaining accessories- those "go to" type items that you can pull out on a moment's notice and use to create a festive spread.







 








They've also got some fabulous cocktail tables- especially in black and gold- one of our favorite motifs!







 








And of course, if I had a front porch, I would love love love a boxwood topiary. These are made of preserved boxwood, which sounds lovely, considering in my previous experience with boxwood plants led me to conclude that it is not quite as maintenance-free as one would think!







  








Now back to the giveaway! To enter, please click over to Pemberley Collections and browse their site, then leave us a comment on this post telling us 1) your favorite wreath and 2) your favorite home accessory. We'll pick the winner on Monday, November 23rd! The winner will be able to select a wreath of her choice from Pemberley Collections and will have the most fabulous front door on the block this holiday season!







A side note- in case this helps you in making your selection- Pemberley Collections has the Bohemian Wreath and the Vintage Holiday Wreath in stock for immediate shipment, but all other styles will have a turnaround time of about two weeks. Thank you to Pemberley Collections for this fabulous giveaway and good luck to all!
