Wexford twins launch interchangeable door & candle wreaths

With spring right around the corner, many of us will be looking to refresh our homes for the upcoming season. 

One growing trend in the world of home decor is the use of door and candle wreaths, which are also steeped in ancient Irish tradition.

Teenage twins Aimée and Conor Farrell noticed that there was a gap in the market for luxury changeable door and candle wreaths. So, they created their very own start-up, Phenology Décor, from their home in Bunclody, Co Wexford, Ireland.  

Aimée and Conor developed the concept of interchangeable home decorations during their transition year in school, while coming up with ideas for a mini-company project. 

After discovering that launching the business and sourcing materials would take quite some time, they focused on getting the product completed and rescheduled the launch for spring of this year.

While wreaths and table pieces are often reserved for special occasions, our homes can sometimes feel bare when we don’t use them. But, with Phenology Décor, that abundant look can be achieved effortlessly. 

The high-end luxury door and candle wreaths are filled with evergreens and each wreath comes with four interchangeable inserts, each reflecting the colours and spirit of each season so you can use your wreath throughout the entire year.

Aimée and Conor are both preparing for their leaving cert this year and are very focused on their studies and preparing for college while also developing their business. 

Speaking of their new start-up, Aimée Farrell explains, “Growing up in the Blackstairs Mountains has given me a strong connection with nature and I’m mindful of how being in nature positively impacts me. As we developed the business idea, I really loved the concept of bringing touches of nature into our home, starting at the hall door with our door wreath and then bringing that theme inside into other home décor items like candle wreaths”. 

Her twin Conor added, “We’ve both got very different interests and hobbies but share an interest in business and so, whilst looking for creative ways to earn extra income, we continued to work on the wreath idea after Transition Year and we’re delighted that we’re now ready to launch”.

They started working on the design element of the wreath in the summer of 2024 and with a fresh perspective and novel approach to product design, they created a wreath that would allow for interchangeable seasonal elements to be easily added so that customers can enjoy their wreath throughout the year. 

Aimée and Conor are currently developing an exclusive collection of limited-edition accessories, meaning customers can personalise their wreath even further.

Door wreath (including 4 seasonal inserts) is priced at €220, while the Candle Wreaths (including 4 seasonal inserts) is €80. Available to purchase from phenologydecor.com
