Dried flowers look fantastic and give a completely different look to your traditional wreaths that use fresh flowers. While fresh flowers have vibrant and bold colours, dried flower wreaths have subtle colours, muted pallets, and pastel shades which have fantastic character and create amazing moods.

Common dried flowers used in this type of wreath include lilies, lavender, jasmine, rose, marigold, carnation, dahlia, tulip, chrysanthemum, and sunflower. These flowers can be dried easily and still retain their colour and their smell increases too so these wreaths are incredibly fragrant.

Dried Flower Wreaths for Your Home

You may think of dried flowers as being used in things like pot puri, but they are also incredible when used in wreaths. Dried flower wreaths look amazing and have a completely different look compared to fresh flowers. You get gorgeous subtle colours of blue, red, pink, yellow, green, and brown and they look elegant and stylish.

If you aren’t a fan of bold colours and prefer understated pallets, then dried floral wreaths are the perfect option. They have the added benefit of smelling incredible too. This is because as the flowers are dried, their scent intensifies and lasts for longer. You will get an amazing smell each time you walk through your front door!

Dried flower wreaths are suitable for any season, but they are more common for autumn and winter when the flowers are not in full bloom. You can get dried flower wreaths to suit different occasions too like Halloween, and Easter.

Frequently asked questions

Do dried flower wreaths require care and maintenance?

Yes, this type of wreath does require maintenance. The most important thing to remember is that you should not water dried flowers. They do not like water, and it can cause them to look strange and deteriorate quicker.

Additionally, avoid direct sunlight as this can cause the dried flowers to fade quicker over time. Always handle the wreath gently and keep it out of the reach of potential rough contact from kids and pets. A decent airflow can help keep the wreath looking fantastic for longer.

How to hang your dried flower wreath?

There are several common hanging methods for floral wreaths, the easiest of which is using a door hanger. A door hanger requires no nails or adhesive and it can be fixed in a few seconds. These products are essentially a strip of plastic or metal with a C-shaped hook on both ends.

All you have to do is hang your dried flower wreath from one hook and then place the other hook over the top of your door. Other simple methods include magnetic hooks, command strips, ribbons, and adhesive hooks.

What’s the ideal size for your dried floral wreath?

The best size floral wreath is one that isn’t swallowed up by your front door and looks too small but isn’t too big so it looks ungainly. To get the best size, first use a tape measure to measure the internal width of your door – not including the frame.

With this in mind, it is suggested that you should get a dried flower wreath that is between 5-10 inches narrower than your door width. If your door is 28 inches wide for example, a suitable floral wreath width would be 18-23 inches.

Is it possible to have an artificial dried floral wreath?

Due to the nature of dried flower wreaths, you don’t typically find artificial versions. You may be able to find some, but because the flowers are specifically dried, they are usually real and natural.

The drying process is important and it’s not really something that can be done artificially. This means that you must understand how to look after your artificial wreath and what not to do.
