What are a few accents I will be able to embellish my Advent wreath with?
You'll be able to decorate your Advent wreath using synthetic berries, bells, beads, Christmas balls or flowers. You can also match your wreath to your Christmas tree. In the event that your Christmas tree happens to be gold, having gold trimmings, you are able to also get a gold Advent wreath and then decorate it using green, red or gold trim.

Just what is an advent wreath?
Advent wreaths are also known as Advent crowns. The wreaths happen to be a tradition of Christians that represent the four Advent weeds in the Western church's liturgical calendar. Advent wreaths happen to be an evergreen horizontal wreath which possesses 4 candles. One candle gets lighted beginning on Advent month's 1st Sunday, along with bible reading. On every subsequent week, 1 candle is lighted until all 4 candles are lit on the Sunday immediately before Christmas day. There are also some Advent wreaths which contain an additional "Christ" candle which is lighted on Christmas Day. This tradition is always practiced both in church and at home.

Where will be the right place for you to set your Advent wreath?
An advent wreath may be put in the central table of your living room or even above the fireplace. You can also put the Advent wreath in the center of the dinner table as a centerpiece. Don't forget that you'll be praying and reading the bible as a group. Therefore, a location where a group can sit or stand comfortably is perfect for Advent wreath placement.

Exactly what are the various Advent wreath hues?
Traditionally, advent wreaths were green with purple and pink candles. Nowadays, advent wreaths are available in various colors, such as blue, red or gold. The candles also differ in color matching the wreaths.
