How to Keep Your Wreath Fresh from Thanksgiving to New Year’s!

You know that moment when guests pull into the driveway and you want your porch to look simple, classy, effortless—like you didn’t just shove the Amazon boxes in the closet?

A good wreath does that for you. A fresh wreath does it even better.

So let’s keep yours freshy-fresh all season long.

1. Keep it out of direct sun

Direct sun dries out the needles fast, and nobody likes a crispy brown wreath by mid-December. Avoid the south facing doors if you can.

2. Hang it under a covered porch

A covered porch keeps wind, harsh sun, and surprise rainstorms from beating it up. Bonus: it also gives that clean, classic look you love.

3. Mist it with water every couple of days

Nothing fancy. Just a quick spritz with a spray bottle. This keeps everything plump and pretty.

4. Cooler temps = happier greens

Fresh wreaths will last way longer outside than inside.
Inside, heat vents and fireplaces turn them into crunchy décor real quick.
Outside? The cool air acts like nature’s refrigerator.

5. Keep it away from direct heat

If you do hang it indoors, avoid placing it above radiators, near fireplaces, or by space heaters.
Warm air + fresh greens = tiny Christmas tree needles all over your floor.

Final Thought

Follow these simple tips and your wreath will still be looking fantastic long after the last guests leave and you’re sweeping up the cookie crumbs.
