It is recommended that products are stored inside in their original box when not in use. This will ensure that it stays intact and preserved. I do suggest keeping your wreath protected against direct moisture or sunlight exposure with a covered awning or patio. Bring them inside during extreme weather conditions.

Keep your shipping box. It's a great way to store your wreath when your switching out for seasons.

No, we use high quality artificial greenery and artificial florals. They are very realistic and durable.

The diameter is measured from leaf tip to leaf tip. I always use the finished wreath size. I create on a smaller grapevine base and measure generally from tip to tip on the finished wreath. If you have any further questions about measurements, please don't hesitate to ask.

It is recommend that you have me spray your wreath with a UV protectant before your wreath is shipped out to you, but it is also recommend that you purchase your own UV spray to use on your wreath before each new season or once each month. This will help give your wreath longevity and to help fight against the sun's harmful rays.

The wreaths are created on a natural grapevine base which provides a place to hang from anywhere on the backside. I do not recommend a hook/wire loop as that will offer only one angle to hang the wreath from. If you'd still prefer I add a wire loop to the back, please request this at checkout in "Note to Seller".
