Decorative Seasonal Flags For All Occasions

By Marissa Velazquez


Decorative seasonal flags can be found in most larger home centers or department stores and they can also be found online. They are a fun and affordable decoration for the exterior of the home, which has led to their growth in popularity. In addition, they come in various sizes and different shapes, and the unique themes are almost endless.

Seasonal flags have become an increasingly popular lawn and garden accessory. While they are available in various shapes and sizes, most banners of this type are fairly inexpensive. This is one reason many homeowners like to change them frequently, to go along with the change in seasons or to celebrate a particular holiday or festive occasion.

This type of decoration is usually displayed outdoors around the front of the house. However, they could be used indoors if desired. While the larger variety may be attached to a pole that would be inserted in a mounted bracket, the smaller variety typically hangs from a metal stand that can pushed into the ground almost anywhere.

While some flags can be quite expensive, they are usually made from fine silk that is sewn together, creating the desired motif. The most common variety is less expensive as they are made from cheaper materials, such as polyester or other synthetics. To keep the cost of production down, the images are typically screen printed in bulk. This makes them even more affordable.

Although these popular garden decorations are available in multiple shapes and sizes, they typically fall into either the large or small category. The larger variety are similar in size to a standard country flag, which would be flown from a pole mounted in the ground or inserted into a bracket attached to the side of the house. The smaller type is more versatile as the small metal holders can be placed along a garden path, near a mailbox or almost anywhere else the homeowner chooses.

The popularity of these flags also has to do with the almost limitless variety of seasonal themes that are available. As would be expected, most manufacturers cover all of the major holidays, but there are also various themes that depict some of the familiar elements of each season. For example, popular images for summer include honey bees going in and out of a hive or brightly colored wild flowers. For the fall, images such as leaves, cornucopias and pumpkins are quite common.

This type of flag is also reasonably easy to find in many stores. Large home centers and many department stores offer them in the lawn and garden or seasonal section. However, some specialty stores may have designs that are more unique. To find a specific theme related to a hobby or a personal interest, it may be best to shop online.

Decorative seasonal flags are a fun and inexpensive way to liven up an outdoor space. With so many shapes, sizes and themes available, any homeowner should find at least a few that appeal to them. To find something more unique or personal, try a quick search online.
