There’s something timeless and calming about a handcrafted lavender wreath. Whether it’s hanging on your front door, above the mantel, or as a table centerpiece, it brings the soft scent of nature and the rustic charm of the farm into your home. But how do you care for your lavender wreath—and make it last? And how can you make the most of its versatility?
Caring for Your Lavender Wreath
Dried lavender wreaths are simple to care for, but a few tips can help keep them looking beautiful longer:
Keep it Dry: Lavender is naturally dried, so it doesn’t need water. Avoid moisture or humidity, which can cause it to wilt or mold.
Spray with hairspray or holding spray from Hobby Lobby lightly to reduce buds (calyx's falling off).
Hang It Gently: Display your wreath indoors or on a covered door away from direct sunlight, wind, or rain. Sunlight can fade the color over time.
Minimal Handling: Lavender is delicate, so avoid brushing up against it or moving it too often. The less you touch, the longer it will last.
Dust Lightly: If it gets dusty, use a hairdryer on a cool, low setting or a gentle duster to refresh it.
Make It Seasonal
One of our favorite things about lavender wreaths? They’re a beautiful base for seasonal flair. Add:
Spring: Dried florals like baby’s breath, mini daisies, or pastel ribbons.
Summer: Strawflowers, herbs, or a little pop of citrus with dried orange slices.
Fall: Wheat stems, mini pumpkins, or burnt orange accents.
Winter: Pinecones, cinnamon sticks, or a festive bow.
You can update the look throughout the year, making your lavender wreath a lasting, flexible piece of natural décor.
A Thoughtful, Natural Gift
Lavender wreaths also make beautiful gifts—whether for a housewarming, birthday, or “just because.” They’re handcrafted, fragrant, and full of meaning. Plus, they’re a perfect option for those who love sustainable, natural products.
