There is nothing more welcome than the front entrance (exterior) of a house festively decked up for the Holiday season.  It may be cold outside, but it makes a home look warm and cozy as guests arrive, and gains the admiration of passersby.

Here a really abundant pine garland is swagged around the door for starters. And, by that way, that’s really key – when using a garland to adorn your front door, you don’t want it to look anemic, so use a really full, lush garland to get that abundant look.
Next, its all about the urns.  They may hold geraniums or petunias in the summer, but when the weather turns nippy, you want to get those babies filled with festive holiday decor. Again, make them FULL, and lush – remember, think ABUNDANT for the best visual effects. And to really make the display striking, you need height – that’s where the tall branches rising up from the center of the urns come into play, really capturing the essence of nature and spirit of the season at the same time.

Make a Christmas Door Decoration like the type professional florists charge big dollars for. This is a teardrop swag for the front door, and its a nice alternative to a round wreath when you want to change things up a bit, and yet still remain quite traditional.

You will need to start with the tear drop swag made from fresh evergreens. You can usually get these from a local grower or a florist shop – then plain, undecorated ones aren’t expensive (its all the labor that goes into decorating that drives the price up). Stores like Home Depot may have them, as well as many places that sell live Christmas trees. Now watch the video to learn how to get the lavishly decorated look that florists know how to create…

I have this thing for a really beautifully decorated Christmas Front door. I love it when people turn their front door into a beautiful visual display at Christmas.

 Stacked evergreen wreaths: This door is decorated for Christmas with not one, but two evergreen wreaths positioned one right above the other for a very abundant look. Matching evergreen garland draped above and around the door enhances the look of abundance. Classic simplicity at play here, the wreaths and garland are decorated only with pinecones for a very natural appearance. Note the collection of pinecone clusters on the garland right above the door. A glistening gold bow tops off the upper wreath on this stunning Christmas front door.
