Christmas is coming and everyone is looking for fresh ideas for home decoration. If you want to surprise your family this year or want to create a stylish decoration and traditional warmth, you can create a decor with an Advent wreath and candles. We have collected inspiring ideas to help you decorate your home creatively!

Idea #1: Christmas Candles with Evergreen Branches

Before you get started, check out these ideas to help you choose colors, as the wreath and candles should match the rest of your decor. White or minimalist styles might opt for a silver or purple wreath and candles, while the traditional red and green color combination and gold candles are great for classic or modern interiors.

Once you have decided on the color scheme, you need to gather the materials you will use. Modern Christmas wreaths with candles are easy to make because they follow the traditional shape but with modern colors - you can combine four purple candles with silver balls as decoration. Or as an alternative - you can paint pine cones of different colors - purple, pink, blue - and combine them with four tall candles - it always looks good and is relatively easy to make. Making a Christmas wreath from decorative mesh is also a great idea. For a rustic style, burlap and natural materials are usually chosen.

Idea #2: Rustic Christmas Candles


There are quite a few ideas for such a wreath and candles that are made from natural materials. They can be found during a walk in the forest - beautiful branches, pine cones, dry grass, berries - all this is abundant and suitable material for the basis of your decor. Choose candles in the appropriate color. White is always suitable. Red is, of course, traditional and goes well with evergreens. Attach small decorative themed items such as deer figurines, small sleighs, small bells or anything else, this will add completeness to the composition.
