How To Care for Your Articifial Flower Wreath
Artificial flower wreaths are a wonderful way to add long-lasting beauty to your home — no watering, no wilting and no seasonal expiry. At Handmade Wreaths UK, we craft each artificial wreath with care using high-quality materials designed to look fresh and vibrant year after year.
With just a little maintenance, your artificial wreath can continue to brighten your door or décor for many seasons to come. Here’s how to keep it looking its best.
🌸 1. Dust Regularly
Over time, dust can dull the colours of your wreath. Use a soft feather duster, dry microfiber cloth, or even a gentle brush to lightly clean the flowers, leaves, and base. Avoid using a wet cloth, as moisture can loosen adhesives or damage delicate faux petals.
Pro Tip: A can of compressed air (like the ones used for cleaning keyboards) can help reach tiny crevices without disturbing the design.
☀️ 2. Avoid Direct Sunlight
Although artificial flowers won’t wilt, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. If you’re displaying your wreath outdoors, place it in a shaded or partially sheltered area such as a porch or behind a storm door.
Indoor Wreaths: Rotate your wreath’s location occasionally to ensure even colour exposure if placed near windows.
💨 3. Protect from the Elements
While many of our artificial wreaths are suitable for outdoor use, they’ll last longer when shielded from rain, strong wind, and harsh frost. If your front door is fully exposed, consider bringing the wreath inside during extreme weather or hanging it indoors during off-season months.
Ideal Display Locations: Porch walls, conservatories, interior doors, and covered patios.
📦 4. Store It Properly Between Seasons
If you change your wreaths throughout the year, proper storage is key. Use a sturdy wreath storage box or plastic container to keep it clean and protected. Wrap the wreath in acid-free tissue paper or a cotton sheet to prevent dust and scratches.
Avoid: Tight bags, cramped storage spaces, or piling heavy items on top of the wreath.
🛠 5. Handle with Care
Each wreath is carefully handmade and may include delicate faux florals, wire stems, or dried accents. When handling or rehanging your wreath:
Support the base with both hands
Avoid tugging on flowers or foliage
Hang securely using a wreath hook, ribbon, or invisible hanging strip that supports its weight
