My wreath collection is really starting to get out of hand. I tend to collect things that I don’t have enough storage for, and outdoor summer wreaths are definitely one of them. They’re so colorful and fun and such an easy way to add a touch of personality to your front door. It’s no wonder I can’t keep my hands off them!

Just as accessories elevate your personal style, a wreath also adds charm and character to your home’s exterior. Your choice of wreath – from vibrant floral designs to rustic and earthy arrangements – really sets the tone for your design taste. A well-chosen wreath can also complement the architectural style and color palette of your house. This simple piece of decor is an affordable way to enhance your curb appeal and make a memorable first impression.

In this post, I’m sharing 9 gorgeous outdoor summer wreaths that I’ve had my eye on recently. Each of these dried floral wreaths are handmade and in my opinion, the prettiest choice due to their natural textures and colors. Unlike faux flowers, dried blooms evoke a sense of nostalgia and are a more timeless option for decorating your home.

Caring For Dried Floral Wreaths

Dried floral wreaths bring a touch of natural beauty to any space, but they do require some care to keep them looking their best. Unlike their faux counterparts, dried wreaths can be sensitive to direct sunlight, which may cause color fading and brittle foliage over time. If you have a covered front patio or door with minimal sun exposure, you’re in luck. A covered front door is the ideal spot to showcase your dried wreath without worrying about excessive damage.

To maintain the integrity of your wreath, consider using a floral preservative spray (I recommend this one). When handling dried florals, I always wear cotton gloves. This helps to minimize oil transfer from my hands and protects the delicate flowers from damage. I’ve sprayed this wreath with the preservative spray multiple times and it still looks like new!

One thing to keep in mind with dried floral wreaths is the need for regular cleaning to extend their lifespan. The frequency of cleaning depends on where the wreath is displayed and how quickly dust accumulates. During peak pollen season, I try to clean my wreaths at least once a week. I use a gentle feather duster or soft brush and avoid using water or cleaning products as they can damage your wreath.

Lastly, be vigilant for signs of pests like moths or beetles – especially if your wreath contains natural materials such as dried foliage or pinecones. If pests are detected, gently remove them or consider placing the wreath in a sealed plastic bag in the freezer for a few days to eliminate the insects. With these tips, you can enjoy your dried floral wreath and preserve its beauty for seasons to come!
