Wreath Add-Ons and Accessories
Easy ideas to give wreaths new life or extend their season
Charms + Double Wreaths
Pairing preserved wreaths in unexpected, seasonal colors with a neutral helps balance the brightness while adding even more natural texture. Adding a wreath charm and some ribbon to make it your own.
Ribbon
We specially sized our large 2.5” width Antiqued Frayed Velvet Ribbon for hanging wreaths–so that your functional element becomes a part of the decor.
Ornaments
We enjoy decorating with ornaments for every holiday–adding them to the center of your wreath or even tying a few to the branches of a faux evergreen wreath anchors your wreath in the holiday.

Dried Bunches
Let your creativity lead–disassemble one of our dried bouquets to fill out and accessorize any wreath.
Lighting
Our Stargazer Party Pack of 6 Light Strands are battery-operated and slight in size–perfect for wrapping, layering, and illuminating a wreath. They’re outdoor friendly and the battery pack is extra small, so you can simply tuck it behind the wreath.
Iron Bunches
Add a touch of everlasting color to any wreath with a painted iron bunch. You can easily split ours apart and wrap the flexible ends around the wreath base.
Layered Wreaths
Our wreaths arrive in a variety of fullness–we love the idea of layering one of our more delicate iron circlets with a full fresh wreath or faux evergreen.
Style More Than A Door
Wreaths are welcome all around our home. Here are a few of our favorite ways to reimagine a wreath setting.
A Mantel Pair
As a rule for pairing, we always keep one element the same and add one contrasting element of the two to keep the look cohesive. Play with scale, color, and materiality to create a custom feel.
A Stairway Trio
The same pairing rules apply here; try fresh evergreens in three different varieties–the festive scent will waft upwards and their natural simplicity is striking against a blank wall.
Monopairing Stack
Same doesn’t have to mean dull. Stacking two of the same wreath in different sizes elevates the duo to a sculptural art piece, intentional and striking.
Planter Circlet
A lovely layer and foundational base to a planter in any season–add texture, height, and dimension in a single step.
Planter Structure
Create your own garden structure with a durable faux evergreen wreath. Let live plants grow up around it or create a lighting sculpture with Stargazer Color Story Bulbs and Strands.
Chandelier
Ethereal and light, a faux wreath makes the most showstopping “centerpiece” as a hanging chandelier. Layer on a few dried stems or battery powered lights to transform the table.

The Faux Cedar Collection: A Beloved Favorite
Our seasonal best-sellers are modeled after specimens found in nature with "real needle" innovation–they look so real, guests won’t notice they're faux. Everlasting, natural color, and not a needle drop in sight–faux cedar is our classic for a reason.
The Oak Collection: A Seasonal Standout
Realistic and modeled from nature, our faux oak garlands give that abundant fall feeling and can be used for years to come–no raking necessary!
Layering Swag Garlands
When it comes to our novelty holiday collection, our motto? More is more. Cheerful baubles, shiny tinsel, earthy evergreen, and velvety ribbon blend together effortlessly to create the most festive mantel.
Metal Works: Iron and More
Durable, flexible, and true to nature, our iron garlands are often painted to closely resemble their fresh counterparts. They’re perfectly sized to layer but still look elegant on their own. They’re outdoor friendly and even if left to the elements, the patina is beautiful.
The Dried and Preserved Shop
Our favorite decor styling method for adding lots of natural texture and color–dried and preserved garlands are celebratory and work in any season.
