A Story of Elegance and Convenience: The Sisters' New Year's Eve Solution

December 11, 2025

The clock was ticking toward New Year's Eve, and two sisters needed elegant, natural decor, fast. Remembering the wonderful online shop, Laura Rhodes Naturals, based conveniently in Amherst, VA—not far from their home in Southern Central Virginia—they knew they had found their solution. With its reputation for quality products and stellar reviews, they knew a beautiful, large Boxwood Wreath would be the perfect natural, elegant centerpiece for their celebration. And then a smaller one could be hung on their decorative ladder.

Here is the product they found:

Styling, Display, & Care Guide

How to Display and Style Your Wreath

• Front Door Welcome: The classic placement! Use it to greet guests and add instant curb appeal. The Boxwood's deep green contrasts beautifully with most door colors.
  
• Interior Focal Point: Hang it over a fireplace mantel, a mirror, or a large piece of art to introduce natural texture indoors.
  
• Window or Cabinet Accent: Use smaller wreaths to adorn kitchen cabinets or windows for a subtle, festive touch throughout the room.
  
• Table Centerpiece: Place the wreath flat on a table (especially the Large size), and set a hurricane glass or pillar candle in the center.
  

Caring for Your Fresh Boxwood

Fresh Boxwood lasts longest in cool, humid environments.

• Moisture: To prolong the life of your wreath, lightly mist the greenery with water every few days, especially if hanging indoors.
  
• Placement: Hang the wreath in a cool location, ideally out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources (like radiators or heat vents), which can cause the leaves to dry out quickly.
  
• Outdoor Use: If hanging outdoors, a protected location (like a covered porch) is best to shelter it from harsh weather.
  
• Longevity: When properly cared for, fresh Boxwood maintains its color and structure throughout the entire holiday season and often well into January. As it ages, it will slowly dry naturally and retain its shape.

The Sisters' Delight:

The large Boxwood Wreath and smaller one arrived promptly, fragrant and beautifully assembled.

Everyone complimented the natural beauty and freshness. It would be wonderful for the rest of the Winter Season.

The finishing touch: The Bow

Choosing the right ribbon can elevate the wreath from a holiday decoration to a truly spectacular, New Year's Eve statement piece. Just changing out the ribbon can stretch out its use for the later season.

Here are the top three suggestions for ribbon colors that capture the festive, elegant, and celebratory spirit of New Year's Eve, keeping in mind the rich, deep green of the Boxwood wreath:

Ribbon Color	Why It Works for New Year's Eve and Winter	Suggested Finish
1. Classic Gold	Gold is the quintessential color of celebration, luxury, and warmth. It evokes champagne, fireworks, and prosperity. Against the deep green boxwood, gold looks rich, glamorous, and absolutely timeless.	Metallic Satin or Shimmering Wire-Edged.
2. Elegant Silver	Silver (or a softer Champagne/Pewter tone) feels modern, crisp, and chic. It pairs beautifully with the wintry feel and offers a bright, sophisticated contrast to the green. It’s perfect if their decor leans toward cooler tones.	Metallic Sheer or Textured Satin.
3. Deep Black	For a truly dramatic and high-contrast look, black is incredibly sophisticated and formal. It lends an air of polished elegance, making the wreath feel less "Christmas" and more "Gala."	Rich Velvet (highly recommended) or Grosgrain.
