Our wreath bows are on the bottom and my MIL does not approve. She says the ribbon has to be on the top! Oh well...I see a mix in our neighborhood!

I didn't know there was a right or wrong way - I made one this weekend and put it on the bottom!

I think both of the pics you posted look good, because of the ribbon length. Long ribbon, goes on the top. No long ribbon, it can go on the bottom. I think it would look weird with a long ribbon hanging below the wreath... if that makes sense, haha.

Haha I always see them on the bottom, but it seems like a silly thing to be that opinionated about!

I think it depends on whether the wreath or the bow is the focus. If it's really pretty ribbon & you want those long tails & are keeping the wreath simple, that's one look, or when the wreath itself is more decorative, then I think the bow looks better on the bottom. I actually like a decoration off to the side of the wreath, that would really throw her off

I like them on the bottom. I don't think there's a "right" way, though, and it would never occur to me to tell someone else their bow was in the wrong place! So strange, haha.

I don't think there's a wrong way, but ours is on the bottom because we have a decorative door knocker that would get covered up otherwise!

@autumnlove: please tell her this is the wreath you want instead. Dead serious, no smiling, and record her reaction. It will be so worth it!!!

Ours is on the right side actually! I didn't know that there were people who were this opinionated about it that they felt that they had to say something.

@2PeasinaPod: She gave me the wreaths and the loose bows so I guess she wants her way!

never thought about it... Either way is fine! I guess the long tassels should be on the top though.

Ours is on the top, I tied it there because I was using the ribbon to hang it from two screws in the top of the door. But if it wasn't needed for practical reasons I'd just put it wherever!

I google imaged 'Christmas Wreaths' and the majority are on the top. I prefer them on the bottom though

I don't think there is a right and wrong way. I like them off to one side at the bottom actually.

DH put ours on the top this year and I moved it to the bottom right. It's such a pretty wreath with little juniper berries and a nice mix of greens, I hated seeing it totally obscured by the bow.
