Your front door says a lot about you and your home. Some front doors are warm and inviting while others are cracked and worse for wear. Door wreaths are the perfect item to dress up a worn door and conceal its flaws or you can use door wreaths to enhance nice looking but otherwise blah doors.

Wreaths are made from various kinds of materials, each with their drawbacks yet each with their good features too.

Artificial wreaths: these kinds of door wreaths are made from man-made materials and are designed to withstand all types of weather and humidity levels. Hypoallergenic and requiring little if any maintenance, most high quality door wreaths look extremely lifelike and are designed to endure beautifully season after season, year after year. The use of artificial door wreaths is the recommended and best choice both for the lasting beauty they offer but also for their longevity.

Dried wreaths are made of flowers and leaves that have been dried either in a controlled environment or by exposure to natural sunlight. These door wreaths work best for people living in a humid climate. Without dense humidity, breakage and flower crumbling occurs quite easily. Overall these door wreaths will look the best when they are new but will begin to deteriorate over time and will eventually need to be replaced.

Preserved wreaths are made of live flowers that have been chemically preserved. Some preserving agents also add a boost of color to give the wreath a longer life and more vibrant colors. These door wreaths work best for people living in a dry climate as humidity often causes their artificially added color to run or their preservation to be compromised. Preserved door wreaths will also look best when they are new but will break down and eventually will need to be replaced. Also it is best to use these wreaths doors only because of the chemicals that they have been treated with.

Depending on the foliage and flowers in your door wreaths, small changes can keep them in season year round. In springtime, you can add some sprigs of fresh greenery and even some real or artificial in-season blooms such as crocuses or tulips. For summer, take off the spring additions and add a buttery, warm silk bow with some small orange blossoms and a fan of dried variegated grasses. In the fall, remove the summer enhancements and add rust colored leaves and a spray of baby’s breath running throughout or tied in a bow. When winter comes, take off the fall enhancements and wrap a string of Christmas lights around your door wreaths and add some small ornaments with a large red velvet bow.
