The promise of the upcoming spring

Christmas wreaths have a long history that dates back to ancient times, and their use and symbolism have evolved over the centuries. In the UK, the tradition of hanging a Christmas wreath is believed to have been adopted from pre-Christian Germanic tribes who used them during the winter solstice to symbolise the promise of the upcoming spring.

The modern tradition in the UK is largely influenced by Christian practices. The circular shape of the wreath, with no beginning or end, symbolises eternal life.

In the Victorian era, wreaths became more popular and elaborate, often decorated with fruits, nuts, and ribbons, in addition to the traditional evergreen branches. The Victorians were known for their love of elaborate decorations and their festive creations were no exception.

Today, wreaths are a common sight in the UK and are often made with a variety of materials, including fresh flowers, dried fruits, and even fancy ornaments.

In recent years, there has been a trend towards more sustainable and eco-friendly Christmas wreaths with many, including EN Coxhead, choosing to make them using as many natural materials as possible, such as holly, spruce and pine cones, which can be composted after the holiday season.
