Wreaths by Design: Where Fragrance Meets Festive Elegance

When it comes to decorating with wreaths, most people focus purely on their appearance but scent plays just as important a role in setting the mood. Have you ever stepped into a room and been comforted by the subtle scent of pine or cedar? That’s the magic of a fragrant wreath it doesn’t just decorate your home, it elevates the entire atmosphere. At Minnesota Wreaths, we design each piece to engage the senses, offering not just visual charm, but also the comforting aromas that define the season.

Why Scent Matters in Holiday Decor

Scent is deeply tied to memory and emotion. The subtle fragrance of evergreens can transport you to snowy woods, joyful family gatherings, and cozy fireside evenings. A scented Christmas wreath doesn’t just hang on your wall or door it creates an experience. That’s why at Minnesota Wreaths, we treat fragrance as a design element, carefully curating materials that naturally emit delightful seasonal scents.

A Natural Blend: Balsam Fir & White Cedar

Two of the signature ingredients in our Christmas wreaths are balsam fir and white cedar. The balsam’s crisp, woodsy scent instantly evokes images of snow-covered forests, while white cedar softens the aroma with its delicate earthy notes. Combined, these evergreens create a beautifully balanced and long-lasting fragrance one that defines the holidays for many of our customers.

Pinecones, Berries, and Natural Accents

While evergreen branches form the heart of the scent, elements like pinecones and berries enhance the experience. Pinecones offer a gentle, earthy tone, and fresh berries add a hint of brightness. These additions don’t just increase visual appeal, they contribute to a complex, layered fragrance that makes your wreath feel truly alive.

Looking for something that does more than just look pretty? Our wreaths by design take scent seriously combining aesthetics and aroma for a full-sensory celebration.

Enhancing Scent with Essential Oils

Want to keep your wreath smelling fresh all season? Try adding a few drops of essential oils like pine, cedarwood, or cinnamon. This is especially helpful for indoor wreaths where natural aromas might fade. It’s a simple way to boost the life of your scented Christmas wreath and personalize it to your scent preferences.

Choosing the Right Size Wreath

One of the most overlooked questions we hear is: “How do I choose the right size wreath?”
Here’s a quick tip:

• For standard front doors (around 36 inches wide), go with a wreath between 24–26 inches in diameter.

• For oversized doors or a dramatic look, try 28–36 inches.

• Smaller wreaths (under 20 inches) are great for windows, cabinets, or even as indoor wall accents.

Choosing the right size enhances both the look and proportion of your space and ensures your fragrant wreath doesn’t get lost or feel overwhelming.
