Indoor vs. Outdoor
While all wreaths fare better inside, away from direct light and heat, artificial wreaths generally hold up well in any kind of temperature and conditions. Wreaths constructed with wire (in addition to glue), as opposed to glue only, have more sound construction though. If you live in a particularly harsh winter climate, check to see if the manufacturer recommends outdoor use before hanging it on your front door.
Lights
Whether to purchase a wreath with lights or not is entirely a personal preference, but for outdoor wreaths, keep in mind that the sun sets terribly early during the holiday season. For a magical outdoor wreath, one that neighbors can enjoy after 5:00 p.m., look for one already decorated with battery-operated LED lights. Some come with spare bulbs.
Why Trust The Spruce?
This article was written and researched by Camryn Rabideau, a freelance writer specializing in decorating and design. She covers home products for The Spruce. Additional research was done by Megan McCarty, a writer for The Spruce and MyDomaine with over 13 years of experience in both print and digital media, and Julia Fields, assistant editor at The Spruce. For all of these options, knot fishing wire or ribbon around your wreath to hang on the hook. To guarantee your holiday wreaths stay in perfect shape until next December though, it’s a good idea to invest in wreath storage boxes. (Hat boxes work too.) They’ll last year after year, and ensure your wreaths will too. They’ll also maximize your storage since you can stack the boxes amongst your other decorations, or hang them from their handles. Label the boxes either with a sticky note or a picture so you know exactly what’s in them without having to peek inside.
