I’ve always loved decorating for the holidays, especially Christmas. There’s just something about those twinkling lights, evergreens and bulbs that entrances me.
I think it’s more than just the beauty of it all though. Maybe the familiarity that takes me back to when I was a little girl and couldn’t wait for Christmas to come. I loved laying under the Christmas tree and gazing at all of the colorful, sparkling lights and ornaments. It was SO peaceful!
Every year I get excited when I’m digging out all of our ornaments for the tree and the decorations for inside and outside our home. Each little ornament symbolizes a small portion of our lives at different segments in time. With each opened box the memories just come flooding back.
And outside, hubby and I have always enjoyed putting up lights on the house and in the yard so we can gaze at them through our windows. And to complete the outside decor, a pretty wreath that’s hung from our front door to greet guests. It’s SO inviting!
You know for nearly the last two decades I’ve displayed the same wreath (an artificial one) every year — I bought all the materials and decorated it myself. I’m a crafty kind of girl and because it turned out so well, and held up so long, I continued using it. That is until last year. It had just had enough by then.
I tried sprucing it up this year but it was just time to move onto something else, something different and I found it through Lynch Creek Farm — the 26″ Burgundy Deluxe Door Wreath.
I’ve never owned a fresh wreath or Christmas tree so when I received my new Burgundy Deluxe door wreath I was quite shocked at it’s striking appearance and the smell… oh my was it intoxicating. SO fresh and oh so appealing. I was in love!
When I first opened the box (which was a bit heftier in weight than my faux wreath) the aroma from the pine wafted up toward my nose instantly. It was like bringing in one of the huge pine trees in our back yard, except it looks much more appealing. hehee!
This baby is SO full and luscious. The wreath itself is made of fresh and ever so fragrant noble fir, and salal leaves that are accented with juniper and incense cedar. For decoration, the deluxe wreath is adorned with 3 real ponderosa pine cones, clusters of red berries and a big, glittery burgundy bow. It’s gorgeous and looks amazing hanging from our new front door.
My camera didn’t capture the true beauty of this wreath. It’s more deeper green and blue in color!
Now because these wreaths are real, not fake, they do require a little bit of gentleness in handling and care. You don’t want to just toss them around because you can damage them and they won’t last long. And although the cold temperatures help in keeping them preserved, it’s a good idea to spritz the back with a bit of clean, fresh water from time to time to keep them hydrated. They love that!
Lynch Creek Farms definitely puts a lot of thought into their evergreens. You can tell that a lot of care goes into every detail to create a true, natural masterpiece that’s guaranteed to last through the holidays. Lynch Creek warrants all of their products so if you’re not 100% satisfied with your purchase, they will refund your money or quickly ship you a replacement.

Nothing says Christmas like the smell of real pine! I love these wreaths! Thanks for the review!
Oh, that is beautiful! I always use faux wreaths, but I should get a real one sometime!
I love the wreath, so pretty. Thank you for your wonderful review.
That is so pretty! I would love to get a real wreath one of these years!
That is beautiful! It is so great that they are 100% warrantied. That way you know they care about their product!
Beautiful Wreath, Love the smell. Thank you for this!
Beautiful Wreath. My door wreath is so old, it’s time to get a new one!
My maiden name was Lynch! Definitely has to be a good quality product if my name is on it!!! LOL!
Looks and sounds awesome!
Oh that is beautiful! We never actually had a wreath before (weird, I know) but this year we decided to get one. I need to head over and peek around. Thanks!
There is nothing quite like a fresh wreath or tree. They smell great!
OH I LOVE IT
This wreath reminds me of when I lived in Montana. The mountains are full of nice pine trees.
Love the gorgeous, traditional look of the wreath.
What a beautiful wreath! I love that you included not just the review of the wreath, but what Christmas means to you and all the beautiful memories it brings with it. Christmas is definitely a time for memories – remembering old ones and making new ones. It was a beautifully written review, Dee!
This is a lovely wreath! I can almost smell it now. This would look beautiful on my front door too. Thanks for the review.
Absolutely gorgeous, Love the way this is so fresh, compared to plastic
A fresh wreath is much more festive. It show that you care to use the best.
I have never had a fresh wreath, I think this would be a great gift to give or receive. Nice looking wreaths on the website.
A bit pricey but sounds like a Real Christmas!
I have never owned a fresh wreath before, but I would imagine it must be beautiful and smell so great!
Would make a great add on to the lights in the front yard
I also loved to lay under the tree, and as an adult I have actually SLEPT under the tree some nights just to enjoy it before it’s all gone away TOO very fast each year. We get a fresh tree but only a few times have had fresh wreaths the boy/girl scouts have sold. Now they were nice, but not decorated so beautifully as this one! I think a wreath at Christmas at your door just welcomes everyone into your house. I am off to find out what this actually signifies and how that tradition started. (with blogging so long I am sure you already posted this long ago, but I can’t remember a darn thing for too long). Love it Dee, and thanks for letting us know about Lynch Creek Farm!
It’s beautiful and love that it’s real for letting that Christmas scent into the house
That is beautiful and I like the smell of pine. (I did the lay under the tree thing, too)
oh…this is a pretty wreath. i have never had a fresh one on my door before. i bet it smells wonderful.
I would go with the larger size.Very nice.
Their wreaths look very nice – nothing says Christmas better than a wreath
I like everything “real”, not fake, for the holidays. If possible.
Beautiful wreath, it make’s your door just pop. It would look perfect on my little log cabin. It’s always nice to add a little color to the house after the leaves fall off the trees.
i have always used an artificial wreath..but wanted a buy a good quality real wreath…but wasn’t sure where to order from….thanks for your review…saving info for next Christmas!!
That is very pretty and full.
I have never had a wreath. I’d love one like this because of the smell good factor, too!
That wreath is so beautiful. My mom always decorated our house growing up and she loved to put a wreath on the door for Christmas. So I have always loved wreaths because they remind me of home. We never used a fresh wreath, but I have always wanted too. Thank you for the great review!
these are so pretty! I love plants and anything having to do with nature. Thanks for the great review. Now I know about another great gift idea
i love these. i wonder if they will have a after Christmas sale and i would buy 2
This would be a great gift for my mom for Christmas. They are so pretty.
