Front door energy is having a moment.
If you’ve spent any time on Pinterest or Instagram lately, you’ll have noticed that a really good wreath does something almost unreasonable to the exterior of a home: it pulls everything together, adds personality, and makes even the most basic front door look intentional.
People are taking this seriously, and honestly, so am I.
In my opinion, summer is the best season for wreaths. The color palette basically does the work for you, think bright florals, tropical leaves, sunflowers, citrus, all of it. 😍
