Frequently asked questions

How to maintain your pampas wreath?

Natural pampas wreaths look fantastic due to the epic fluffy flowers and the gorgeous rustic colours. They do require maintenance, however, and it is advised to water the stems and greenery regularly. The best way to do this is by using a water spray bottle.

Just spritz a little water on the leaves and stems and this should help keep them fresh for longer. Aside from that, the plant doesn’t need much care and providing you place the wreath in a well-ventilated area then you shouldn’t have any issues

What is the best way to hang a pampas wreath?

There are several hanging methods and this depends on if you want a visible hanger or not. If you want an invisible hanging method, you need to use command strips or magnetic hangers. Command strips are essentially double-sided sticky strips that stick to your door and the wreath.

Alternatively, if you don’t mind the hanger showing, you can use a wreath hanger or a ribbon and adhesive hook. The ribbon and hook method adds a little colour to your wreath and the ribbon itself can add to the overall style and appearance of your earthy pampas wreath.

Are pampas wreaths better than artificial ones?

Real pampas wreaths do look fantastic and the flowers have that epic rusty look and are particularly great in the autumn. The downside is that these real wreaths don’t last forever and the stems and leaves will typically dry out and start to lose their appeal after two weeks.

Artificial pampas wreaths obviously last indefinitely which is a huge benefit. However, you don’t get any fragrance from them and some people argue that real wreaths always look better – regardless of how realistic the flowers are on artificial wreaths.

What is the ideal size for your pampas wreath?

The ideal pampas wreath size depends on where you want to use it. If you are hanging it from your fireplace or on your dining table, you simply need to gauge an appropriate size that looks good bust doesn’t restrict the functionality of your fireplace or table.

For your front door, the easiest way to determine a size is to measure the width of your door from the inside without the frame. You should then take off 5-10 inches from this measurement and this gives you a suitable wreath size.
