Suggested Uses and Display

This long-lasting, aromatic wreath is perfect for adding natural texture and fragrance to your home throughout the winter season:

• The Signature Welcome: Hang on a covered front door or porch. The shelter will help slow the drying process and protect the fresh greens.
  
• Mantlepiece Anchor: Display above a fireplace to infuse your living space with the clean, refreshing scent of cedar and pine.
  
• Window or Wall Accent: Use indoors to add a classic, textural element to a gallery wall or above a kitchen window.
  
• Outdoor Display: Excellent for decorating shed doors, fences, or exterior lanterns, especially in cool climates.
  

Care Instructions and Lifespan

As a fresh-cut, all-natural product, a little care goes a long way to maximize its beauty:

1. Moisture: Mist the back of the wreath with cool water every 1–2 days. Focus on the metal ring and cut ends to help the greens draw moisture.
   
2. Keep Cool: The wreath will last longest when displayed in cool temperatures and kept out of direct sunlight.
   
3. Avoid Heat: Keep away from all heat sources (fireplaces, heating vents, direct sun) which will cause the needles to dry out and drop rapidly.
   
4. Lifespan: With proper care in a cool, sheltered location, this wreath should remain fresh and fragrant for 4 to 6 weeks, often lasting through the entire holiday season.
