Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a creative twist. Learn how to turn your old Christmas wreath into a vintage-inspired Valentine’s Day wreath.
Here we are in early February, and I am hanging on dearly to our three Christmas Wreath traditions on the front door of our home in Maine! With a little tweaking of the bows and the addition of vintage ice skates, these old Christmas wreaths will be turned into a festive Valentine’s Day wreath.
Valentine Wreath Ideas
A Valentine’s Day wreath is a lovely and festive way to decorate your home or front door for a romantic holiday. Here are some ideas to create a beautiful Valentine’s Day wreath:
Personalize your Valentine’s Day wreath with your preferred colors, materials, and embellishments. Hang it on your front door or use it as a centerpiece for your Valentine’s Day celebrations. It’s a beautiful way to add a touch of love and romance to your home decor.
Valentine’s Day Wreath Outdoors
We celebrate Christmas by decorating with a three-wreath tradition on the front door of our cottage in Maine. Learn more in this 3 Wreath Christmas Tradition On A 1930s Front Door post.
The wreaths stay fresh for so long that I decided to repurpose and upcycle our now-old holiday wreaths into a Valentine’s Day wreath. This is a nice cost-saving option, too.
Vintage Ice Skates, Pink Flowers, and Icicles
Making a few simple changes to transform one’s old Christmas wreaths into a festive front-door Valentine’s Day wreath is so rewarding and fun. I hung these vintage white ice skates that I found thrifting to the middle of the three wreaths with wire from a craft store, and I found the bows on Amazon to match the Essex Green House Trim.
Soon after hanging the Valentine’s Day wreath, we welcomed a large snowstorm here in New England. This is one of the many reasons I try to keep my outdoor decor simple and durable! Look how the simple pink faux flowers just pop in that winter snow.
This little switcheroo cost me absolutely nothing other than the bows and thrifted ice skates. I found the pink faux flowers in the home’s attic.
When the winter storm was over, it warmed up quickly. The icicles on the Valentine’s Day wreath started to form, and I became anxious for a beautiful bouquet of indoor flowers.
