LeCultivateur Happy Thursday, friends!!! I hope you’re having a wonderful week!
Today, I’m sharing something that I have wanted to make and incorporate into my holiday traditions for a few years now, an advent wreath.
An advent wreath is a Christmas tradition that originated from Germany, in the 1800’s. On each Sunday of Advent, a candle is lit, by the last Sunday of Advent, all four candles are lit. Some Advent wreaths include a fifth candle, which is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
Advent 2020:
•Sunday, November 29
•Sunday, December 6
•Sunday, December 13
•Sunday, December 20
For my advent wreath, I started with some natural elements, fresh evergreen clippings and pinecones, as well as a grapevine wreath and a gold advent wreath that I got from Target last year.
I started by loosening the grapevine wreath and adding some greenery….
I then added the gold candle holder….
And finished it with a few pinecones and candles…
I lit all four candles for this picture, even though it isn’t tradition. I will replace the candles and light two this coming Sunday, and one more each Sunday, until Christmas week. It will be a fun new tradition for the holiday season!

Sending you all so much love!!!

I love this, Emily! It’s so pretty and such a neat tradition. They do this at my church each year and have different families light the candle each week but I’ve never had one at home. I might have to make one now.
You’re so sweet!!! Thank you so much!!
Love this very pretty.
Thank you so much!!!
Love it Emily. Gotta love the end of season finds.
