Artificial wreaths have come a long way. Today's premium silk and fabric wreaths are so beautifully realistic that guests will do a double-take at your front door. But with so many styles, sizes, and colour palettes to choose from, how do you pick the right one? Here's everything you need to know.
1. Consider the Size
Size matters when it comes to wreaths! A wreath that's too small will get lost on a large door, while one that's too big can feel overwhelming. As a general guide:
- Standard front doors: A wreath with a 50cm overall diameter (like our spring and summer collection) is a perfect statement size.
- Interior walls or smaller spaces: Something in the 35–40cm range works beautifully.
- Large double doors or feature walls: Go bigger — 60cm+ makes a real impact.
Our wreaths feature a 35cm base with a 50cm overall diameter including flowers, making them ideal for most standard UK front doors.
2. Match Your Home's Style
Think about the overall aesthetic of your home before choosing a wreath:
- Cottage or farmhouse style: Opt for a chunky wicker base with soft florals in pinks, creams, and lavenders.
- Modern or contemporary: Choose clean, structured wreaths with bold colour contrasts like our mixed blues or vibrant orange and hot pink designs.
- Traditional or classic: Lush greenery with roses and ranunculus in soft, romantic tones never goes out of style.
- Eclectic or maximalist: Go for colour! A bright sunflower wreath or a colourful mixed floral design adds personality and joy.
3. Think About the Season
One of the biggest advantages of artificial wreaths is that they last all year round — but you might still want to switch things up seasonally:
- Spring & Summer: Bright blooms, pastel tones, sunflowers, ranunculus, and lush greenery.
- Autumn: Warm oranges, deep reds, berries, and dried-look foliage.
- Winter & Christmas: Classic evergreen with berries, pinecones, and festive ribbons.
Our autumn collection is designed to bring warm, cosy charm to your home from September through to November — and beyond!
4. Indoor vs Outdoor Use
Not all artificial wreaths are created equal when it comes to weather resistance. If you're hanging your wreath on an exposed front door, look for:
- Weather-resistant silk or fabric flowers
- UV-stable colours that won't fade in sunlight
- A sturdy base that won't warp in damp conditions
All of our wreaths are suitable for both indoor and sheltered outdoor use. For fully exposed doors, we recommend placing them under a porch or canopy for the longest lifespan.
5. Choose a Colour Palette That Works for You
Your wreath should complement — not clash with — your front door colour. Here are some tried-and-tested combinations:
- White or cream door: Almost anything works! Pinks, blues, and mixed florals all look stunning.
- Black door: Bold, vibrant colours like hot pink, orange, or sunflower yellow really pop.
- Green door: Soft lilacs, lavenders, and blush pinks create a beautiful contrast.
- Red or burgundy door: Creams, whites, and soft pinks keep it elegant and balanced.
6. Think About Gifting
Artificial wreaths make truly wonderful gifts — they're long-lasting, beautiful, and something people rarely buy for themselves. They're perfect for:
- Mother's Day
- Birthdays
- Housewarming presents
- Thank you gifts
Because they require zero maintenance, they're a gift that keeps on giving — no wilting, no watering, just lasting beauty.
