Holiday wreaths that are anything but ordinary

Oly Studio Cast Resin Antler Wreath

If there were ever such a thing as a sportsman’s wreath, this might just be it. It is made from bright white resin casts of actual antlers, and the rustic (and pleasantly offbeat) design is a welcome surprise in the conventional world of holiday decor. Large, $850; mecoxgardens.com

 1. Holiday Twig Wreath

Equal parts modern and primitive, this wreath is formed by weaving natural birch twigs together with hand-painted silver branches. Bonus: Twenty percent of proceeds benefit forest conservation. $110; garnethill.com

2. Magnolia All Green Square Wreath

You’ve got to love the unexpected square shape of this wreath from the artisans at the Magnolia Company, a family-run business in Florida that makes each one from fresh magnolia leaves harvested from trees grown on its 800-acre property. Large, $106; themagnoliacompany.com

3. Crab Apple Wreath

It’s nearly impossible to find a wreath that’s bold in color yet understated in design, but we found one in this festive red style, made from hundreds of hand-painted crab apples. $119; smithandhawken.com

4. Succulent Wreath

Each segment of this tiny creation is hand assembled using green, burgundy, and silver succulents that require minimal watering and last up to eight weeks. $98; vivaterra.com
