10 wonderful wreaths and fabulous faux-fur trees for holiday decor
From pre-lit spruces to rings of pine cones, berries and bows, ‘tis the season for sparkly glory, says Sam Wylie-Harris.
It’s the most magical time of the year, and there’s nothing quite like the sense of joy and wonder that comes from putting up the Christmas tree.
From a wave of nostalgia and unboxing red ribbons, to putting your own spin on a 6ft spruce and adorning it in novelty ornaments; to ivory velvet bows and balls, those bushy green and flocked branches love to be decked with lights and lustre.
And with a Christmas wreath to signal a warm welcome, these festive finds will see you though the holiday season in style…
