There’s no better way to set the tone for the season than with a fresh wreath. 

At FLOWERBX, Holiday styling starts at the front door — and a luxury, handmade wreath is the first festive touch. But it doesn't end there – there's a place for a wreath, wherever in the home. While a towering tree gets all the glory and flowers bring texture and fragrance, it’s the wreath that sets the standard for your festive mood. Whether paired with bespoke garlands, seasonal florals, foliage, or candles, a wreath is your go-to for contemporary tradition. 

Whether you're into rich greenery, ruby reds, or natural pine — caring for your wreath will help it shine all season, and our guide is your best place to start.

How Long Will My Fresh Wreath Last?

With the right care, your fresh wreath can look beautiful for up to one full Christmas season, while our dried wreaths are designed to last. To extend your wreath's life, follow our wreath maintenance and care tips, as approved by our floral design team.

Wreath Care: Indoor vs Outdoor

Outdoor wreaths: 
Wreaths generally last longer in cool temperatures and are best protected from direct sunlight, wind, and heavy rain.

Indoor wreaths:
Wreaths in your home are exposed to heating and dry air, and need more attention. Be sure to mist regularly and avoid placing near radiators, AC vents or sunny windows.

How to care for Fresh Holiday Wreaths

For all fresh Christmas greenery, misting is key. Hydrate daily with a fine spray to keep pine, eucalyptus, and seasonal foliage looking vibrant. This simple step is essential to luxury wreath care and will help prolong the beauty of your wreath throughout the season.

How to care for Dried Holiday Wreaths

Dried wreaths require minimal effort. Avoid moisture and gently dust to keep the materials clean and defined. Unlike fresh designs, they’re built to last, offering longevity season after season.

About our luxury handmade wreaths

Each FLOWERBX wreath is designed and handcrafted in our London and Manhattan studios, using only the freshest, luxury natural materials — including pine, eucalyptus, berried branches, and more. 
Planet-conscious practices are essential to every step, from biodegradable wreath mechanics, responsibly sourced foliage, and minimal floral waste. 

The result? A piece that's truly extraordinary.

Holiday Wreath Care FAQ's

When should I order my wreath for Christmas Day?
For peak freshness on December 25th, we recommend scheduling delivery between December 10–15th. This is the best time to order a Christmas wreath for maximum longevity and impact. 

Can I pre-order a Christmas wreath?
Yes — our wreath pre-order service opens from late October. You’ll be able to select a future delivery date to ensure your wreath arrives fresh and in perfect condition.

What’s the best way to hang a wreath without damaging my door?
Use a ribbon, an adhesive hook, or an over-the-door hanger. Avoid securing nails or screws on wood and painted surfaces. 

How do I stop my wreath from shedding or drying out?
To keep your fresh wreath looking its best, handle with care and mist daily. Avoid touching delicate elements like berries or cones and display your wreath away from radiators, AC vents or direct sunlight.

 

Can I purchase a FLOWERBX Velvet Ribbon separately?
We don’t currently sell our velvet ribbons individually online, but our customer care team may be able to add one to an existing order. Please get in touch with us directly to enquire. 

How do I style the velvet bow on my FLOWERBX wreath?
Our velvet bows are designed to bring some extra festive opulence to your wreath. After delivery, simply fluff and arrange by hand.

Fresh wreaths are designed to be enjoyed for one season, but proper care may allow you to store them.
