How are Australian wreaths different?
While European-inspired wreaths typically use pine, tinsel, baubles and more pine, Australian styles celebrate true-blue flora and leave the tinsel and ornaments out of the picture. Expect to see the goodness of banksia, eucalyptus and gum nuts in Aussie wreaths – and sometimes even a few of Australia’s most cherished native birds and furry friends.
Whether you’re after something fun and playful for the house, or something uber-sophisticated for your front door, there’s a perfect wreath out there for every kind of Australian home.

In this stunning ensemble, you’ve got rounded gum leaves with wattle flowers, assorted berries and those spectacular proteas. If you’re going for a pink theme this year, this is your wreath!
FAQs
For an unmistakably Australian Christmas wreath, look for designs that feature native favourites like silvery-green eucalyptus leaves, vibrant red banksias or some festive yellow wattle. You want the plants to do all the talking, so avoid too many baubles and too much pine – especially snow-tipped, because you won’t find much of that in Australia on Christmas Day!
In Australia, many people choose to hang their Christmas wreaths on the front door for neighbours (and the postie) to enjoy as well. Other great spots to hang them are above mantles and fireplaces, on the wall near your Christmas table or even in windows. The truth is, at Christmas time, a wreath has a place anywhere in the home – even the pool house!
