What to Consider When Purchasing a Spring Wreath

Size:‌ Like most online purchases, take a good look at the dimensions of a wreath before buying. You'll want to measure (and then measure again) the space you intend to hang it on too. Wreaths vary in size, and some designs are made in multiple widths, so you want to make sure the size and scale fit your front door, or wherever you decide to hang it.

Materials:‌ Wreaths can be made from a long list of materials, from wire to grapevine and from silk flowers to fresh ones. Some are durable and some are delicate. If you plan to hang your wreath outdoors, you may want to lean towards more durable materials, especially if the weather could turn questionable quickly.

Maintenance:‌ Wreaths made from sturdy and oftentimes artificial materials, like faux flowers, are a breeze to take care of. Simply hang, enjoy and give it a good cleaning before storing it away. Wreaths made from fresh flowers, while beautiful, require more care. They're pickier about where you hang them, often preferring cool (but not cold!) conditions and no direct sunlight. To extend their lifespan, some may require daily misting too. Either option would be a pretty addition to your spring decorations, but be sure you know what you're getting into before clicking "add to cart."

4. White Flower + Eucalyptus Iron Wreath

This spring flower wreath, made of an iron frame adorned with eucalyptus leaves and delicate white blooms, is an elegant and understated front door wreath option. It has a fresh, natural air about it, yet it is sturdy enough to withstand extra windy days. (Though, since iron can rust, bring it inside if a surprise spring snowstorm hits.) This rustic wreath measures two feet in diameter, and while it's on the pricier side, you'll get plenty of use out of this beauty considering it'll last year after year.

5. GoodnessWreathCrafts Bright Spring and Summer Wreath

Oh what fun! Not only would this vibrant and cheerful design, which features an array of artificial flowers (including daisies and ranunculus) be the perfect addition to your home this spring, but it could double as a summer wreath too. If you live in a warm climate, why stop there? This could be a year-round wreath if it wouldn't feel out of place weather-wise. Add one to your cart for yourself, and then a couple more if you need to buy any housewarming or Mother's Day gifts.

6. Preserved Pink Posey Wreath

If you prefer your spring wreath to be crafted from natural materials, look no further. This organic floral wreath, made with a variety of naturally preserved pink and white wildflowers, green leaves and stems (avena, artemisia, larkspur and amaranth, amongst others), would bring a hand-made feel to your spring door wreath. For good reason too—it ‌was‌ hand-made by a woman-led team in Washington. Since it's more delicate than artificial wreaths, treat this one with extra TLC. Be sure to store the wreath carefully so it won't get crushed between seasons, and shield it from direct sunlight and moisture too.

7. Artificial Sunflower and Peony Wreath

For budget-friendly spring decor, consider adding a touch of color to your door with this sunflower wreath. The mix of yellow flowers are bound to bring bold vibrancy to any space, while the base—a sturdy grapevine wreath—adds an organic, nearly natural touch. It's cheerful, versatile (since it's spring- ‌and‌ summer-friendly) and affordable. What's not to like?

8. CEWOR 20-inch Artificial Eucalyptus Wreath

For a dose of greenery on your front door—a welcome color if you've been surrounded by white snow and gray clouds lately—opt for this 20-inch artificial eucalyptus wreath with white berries and a grapevine-inspired base. It's made for both indoors and outdoors and is lightweight for easy hanging. When you first take it out of the box it will be on the smaller side, so take a few minutes to fluff and shape the wreath to get it to its intended fullness.

9. DearSun 11.2-inch Easter Wreath With Flowers and Eggs

It's decorated with a variety of colorful artificial flowers (which hold up well, even in unpredictable spring weather) for a full look.
