Minimal Ribbon, Maxium Charm: Boxwood Wreath Decor
How to Decorate a Boxwood Wreath with Ribbon
While shopping at City Mercantile, a local gift shop in Pontotoc, MS, for a graduation gift for my granddaughter Maggie, I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful boxwood wreaths hanging throughout the store—each one styled with stunning ribbon. I had to snap a few pictures to show you how easy it is to decorate a boxwood wreath with ribbon. It’s such a simple way to add charm, and if you’re not the DIY type and you’re local, you’re in luck—these wreaths are all for sale! City Mercantile Facebook Page.
Simple Ties for Statement Ribbons
The ribbons on these boxwood wreaths are simply tied around the bottom with long tails—and it’s stunning. This is a perfect example of how to decorate a boxwood wreath with ribbon when you want to let the material shine. It’s a great technique for wider, more expensive, or heavier ribbons. You don’t need a big bow when your ribbon is this beautiful—just a simple tie is all it takes to make a stylish statement.
Double the Ribbon, Double the Charm
This wreath features a beautiful base ribbon—probably a 4″ floral—and a single tail in a solid contrasting color. It just goes to show you don’t always need a full roll of ribbon to decorate a boxwood wreath. It’s a smart way to use up those shorter ends while still creating something eye-catching and stylish.
Seasonal Style with Mixed Ribbons
These wreaths show off how fun and flexible it can be to decorate a boxwood wreath with ribbon in multiple colors, widths, and styles. Many of the designs feature long tails, single loops, and an occasional double loop—no complicated bows required. What really makes them shine is the mix of textures and layering: crisp dupioni, smooth satins, double-sided ribbon, and even layered ribbon combinations that add extra depth and interest. The cheerful, bright colors are perfect for spring and summer and will make your door stand out from the walkway. And the best part? When the season changes, just swap out the ribbon for a whole new look.
