Wreath History:
In America we recognize the evergreen wreath as a symbol of Christmas. We hang them on our front doors and display them in other parts of our homes, though no one seems to know the history of this custom. The abundance of live plants and greens was a natural source of supplies. Many ancient cultures have revered plants and especially evergreens. They have long been a symbol of divine energy. At some point in time, the wreath became a door and wall ornament. The materials chosen for the wreath said a lot about what the wreath meant. A wreath made of holly and mistletoe might be used to shelter a home from the spirits of cold and winter.
Even though the word wreath, is usually associated with Christmas, they are a form of decoration found in households all year. Some are used as a reflection of personal tastes or collections and some are reminders of special occasions. The vast resources we have today for dried herbs and flowers, as well as the fabulous assortment of artificial flowers and plants have given us limitless choices for materials. Today beautifully decorated wreaths are an integral part of Christmas holidays, as well as being decorated to fit every other season.

Meaning of Evergreens.
Evergreens represent all the plants that withstood the death of winter and so were charged with enchanted powers which signified the strength of life. Evergreens were symbols of eternal life and thought to bring good luck against evil spirits. Anciently evergreens were held as protectors and were brought inside one home to keep the evil of darkness at bay. This was during a time of very long cold winters when most people had no heat and so plants became man’s hope that the sun would return.
The work Evergreen comes from two Olde English terms, aefre meaning always and growan meaning to grow. Select this link to view our Artificial Christmas Wreaths and Prelit Christmas Wreaths.
