Christmas wreaths make a beautiful addition to any décor during the holidays. From lighted to fresh or artificial, Christmas wreaths come in a variety of styles. What's more, wreaths allow you to maximize your creativity by drawing on interior design and thematic elements for corporate parties, church functions or a quiet Christmas gathering at home.

Go to most craft stores during the holidays and you'll discover the price variance for Christmas wreaths. Popular selections include fresh Christmas wreaths, artificial Christmas wreaths, decorated or outdoor Christmas wreaths. If you enjoy decorating or love the Christmas season, a Christmas wreath business offers a great way to experience the joy of Christmas year-round. It's never too early to start. All you need is an eye for design and a few resources to get you started.

1. Gather Christmas wreath information such as the tools you will need and the vendors available.

2. Expand your business with specialized Christmas wreaths.

3. Take advantage of discounts through vendors who specialize in wholesale Christmas wreaths.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Pull together Christmas wreath information


Get information on the best deals for the Christmas wreaths you will specialize in. Decide whether you enjoy creating outdoor Christmas wreaths, fresh Christmas wreaths or artificial Christmas wreaths.

I recommend: Lynch Creek Farm offers beautifully decorated outdoor Christmas wreaths at affordable prices. If a lighted Christmas wreath suits your style, Netshop's WreathsGalore.com provides Christmas wreaths with lights; most wreaths are commercial grade and feature little decoration. Beverly's, Inc.'s save-on-crafts.com is a one-stop shop for all of your Christmas wreath needs including tools and decorated and undecorated Christmas wreaths.

Specialize in decorated and lighted Christmas wreaths


Lighted Christmas wreaths are not only popular, they add a beautiful touch to holiday décor. From an elegant lighted Christmas wreath with little decoration to an elaborate thematic creation, specializing in lighted Christmas wreaths offers customers unique options to add sparkle to their holiday parties.

I recommend: Add collectible Christmas wreaths to your inventory at Collectibles Today, which sells Thomas Kinkade and Disney themed Christmas wreaths. The simple elegant lighted Christmas wreaths from Holiday Decorations Direct, a division of CSN Stores LLC, will certainly complement any décor.

Develop relationships with wholesale Christmas wreaths companies


One of the best ways to keep supply costs down is to purchase wholesale Christmas wreaths from vendors. Although, you will normally need a business license to take advantage of the savings, it's worth it, if you plan to sell a high volume of wreaths at retail price.

I recommend: Northwoods Evergreen & Wire Co., in Wisconsin supplies fresh decorated and undecorated Christmas wreaths as well as wreath-making machines for high volume. Kinkade Studios sells a variety of artificial Christmas wreaths in popular styles and sizes.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Many companies use interior designers for their holiday parties. Consider partnering with an interior designer as you get your Christmas wreath business off the ground. Offer them a discount when they choose to work with you or volunteer your services for a specified period of time.
