Thinking about putting your tree up early this year? You are not alone. We are all craving a little premature cheer after the failed festive season that was Christmas 2020. However, if it feels a little early to get the decorations down from the attic, these luxurious wreaths are a stylish nod to festivities to come. From fresh foliage to sustainable dried options, and even a do-it-yourself kit, there’s something for everyone…

‘Miracle on 34th Street’ wreath, Ronny Colbie
Classic holiday films – from Elf to Scrooge via Love Actually – are the inspiration for Balham-based florist Ronny Colbie. Our favourite is the ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ wreath, which is as classically and nostalgically Christmassy as possible, its oversized red velvet bow topping a combination of viburnum berries, rustic twigs, and natural cones. From £75, ronnycolbie.com

‘Moyses Stevens’ wreath, Selfridges
Clusters of cotton give this luxurious wreath the look of a snow-kissed field. Also included is dried stipa, natural brunia, seeded scabiosa and bark – an unusual combination that manages to be different without stepping completely outside of the traditional. £180, selfridges.com

‘DIY Wreath Kit’, Hayley Scott Blooms
Making your own wreath is an enjoyable way to spend a cold winter night, especially when you have a glass of mulled wine at hand. These kits by Cornwall-based florist Hayley Scott contain everything you need to ensure the end results are worthy of hanging on your door. There’s a mossed ring, scented pine, conifer and local Cornish grown eucalyptus, as well as dried decorations and a satisfying satin bow. £32, hayleyscottblooms.co.uk

‘Drinkable’ wreath, Wild at Heart x Edinburgh Gin
What if the botanicals that decorated your wreath could also be used to create fantastic cocktails?
