specially if it's a succulent one and I display it indoors?

I think they're just for Christmas and graves.

Manumission · 24/01/2017 15:21

Christmas and graves

Yep

BemoWax · 24/01/2017 15:23

What's a succulent wreath?

I agree with Scarlet.

Bluntness100 · 24/01/2017 15:24

Yup, Xmas and graves here also, sorry.

Cosmicglitterpug · 24/01/2017 15:24

I've got my Pom Pom wreath on my living room wall.

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/01/2017 15:24

Christmas and graves was exactly what I thought.

Picture?

Unless you're a Roman emperor?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 24/01/2017 15:25

I have a crochet wreath I made - it is supposedly a Christmas one, but I used lots of bright colours, so it isn't overtly Christmassy, and I have it up all year round.

TheNaze73 · 24/01/2017 15:26

Everyone has beaten me to it & I'm in agreement.

Christmas & graves

SparkleShinyGlitter · 24/01/2017 15:27

Christmas or death!

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/01/2017 15:28

Unless you're a Roman emperor? But that would be laurel, not succulents. Grin

Belindabelle · 24/01/2017 15:36

Well I have a few seasonal wreaths.

Spring/Easter
Autumn/Halloween
Winter/Christmas

I must get something for Summer

CwtchMeQuick · 24/01/2017 15:44

I do think they're for Christmas and graves, but I'm not bothered enough to get off my arse and take ours down. Please yourself I say!

HerRoyalNotness · 24/01/2017 15:44

I'm in the Us and people have wreaths for everything! We had fall, thanksgiving, xmas, valentines, Easter/spring, July 4th, mmm and I'm sure there are more. Also accompanied by doorstep decorations, it's a big deal

Nope. I have a wreath on the door all the time. Change it every six weeks or so,

SaltedCaramelEverything · 24/01/2017 15:57

YANBU!! I saw a gorg "spring wreath" on Instagram today. We need a pic to confirm it's worthy though

Manumission · 24/01/2017 15:58

It's always worse when you're spouse is right, isn't it? As if being wrong yourself isn't bad enough

I think wreaths for different occasions is becoming a thing for crafters - I've seen it on Pinterest Smile

It's pretty. It's very wreath shaped.

Etak15 · 24/01/2017 16:21

My aunt used to say that we they should only be called wreaths when used for graves, otherwise it's a 'garland' Confused

Bluntness100 · 24/01/2017 16:22

It's lovely, but I'd think you'd forgotten to take it down from Xmas, sorry.

gabsdot · 24/01/2017 16:22

I have a plain wreath that I decorate at different times of year, valentine's day, saint Patrick's day, Easter, Halloween.
It looks pretty on my door.
