Now that you have purchased your beautiful handmade wreath, it’s essential that it maintains its beauty and charm for years to come. Read on to learn my key tips for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your new wreath!

Regular Dusting

I like to use my hair dryer on the lowest heat and speed setting to gently remove any dust from my wreaths. Alternatively, you can use a soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth to gently remove any dust and debris from within the flowers and foliage. Avoid using harsh chemicals or stiff brushes to dust your wreath, as these can damage the materials.

Protect from Moisture

Excessive moisture can damage your wreath. To prevent mold or mildew growth, avoid placing your wreath in areas of high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens. If your wreath will be displayed outside (such as on your front door), ensure it has some protection from the weather—extreme temperatures and moisture can reduce its lifespan. Consider bringing it inside during particularly harsh weather conditions.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

My wreaths are designed to withstand the elements and built to last, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and discoloration over time. To help preserve your wreath’s appearance, avoid hanging it in areas where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. Try to place your wreath in a location that receives indirect or diffused light to help maintain its beauty.

Store Properly

When not in use, it’s essential to store your wreath properly to prevent damage. Ideally, I would suggest storing your wreath in the box it arrived in (if still intact) or alternatively in a breathable storage bag or box. Ensure it is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. When storing, try to avoid placing it face-down or on its side, as this can alter the shape and potentially cause damage.
