Memorial Day is a special holiday to celebrate those who served our country and lost their lives to protect our freedom. I personally love Memorial Day because of its symbolic meaning, but also because it is a great holiday to gather family and friends and kick off summer. As a frequent party hostess, I am constantly changing my front door decor for each occasion and party. Today, I am excited to share this simple vintage ribbon wreath that is not only perfect for Memorial Day, but is easy door decor for the whole season.
