Keeping Your Wreath Fresh
To keep your wreath looking fresh throughout the season, mist it regularly if it’s made of real foliage. Keep it away from direct heat sources and consider spritzing with a water bottle every couple of days, especially if you’re using fresh greenery. If your wreath is indoors, placing it in a cooler spot can also help preserve its lush appearance.
