outdoor wreaths - faux OK?

[Anonymous]

I love the look and smell of fresh/live wreaths but the costs can really add up. What do you think about the artificial ones? Do you think they're tacky?

They can be beautiful to. Go for it! Enjoy the Season.

I use a real one on the front door and faux ones elsewhere. I like having a real one on the front door since it's right at eye level and I see it multiple times a day.

What do you spend on your real one?

I would probably skip wreaths altogether if artificial wreaths were the only option. But I know I'm in the minority.

[Anonymous]

can you cut down on the number and just get one or two real ones?

I hang real ones on the front doors and fake ones on the windows of the house (outdoor) and also on the French doors in the kitchen (hung inside)

Not sure. I usually get a fundraiser one (high school crew team sells them) so part is a donation. I think they are maybe $25? Otherwise we get them at butlers for about $18? The crew ones are decorated.

I use a real one in front. I use a couple of nonreal ones inside. But the trick, imo, is not to pretend: the ones inside are gilded / gold leaves and silver leaves. Obviously not real and they don't pretend to be. And the gilded effect is exactly what I want for those inside areas.

In this area, with weather that can get warm, faux is fine, at our Vermont place, we use real and it is so cool/cold that it lasts well into February.

I use a fake one on the front door, and it looks great!

[Anonymous]

I think it is fine.

You can get a fresh wreath from Costco for $17! At least, that's what they've cost in past years. I haven't priced them yet for this season.

I use a fake one on the front door because I can't stand having all those needles falling into our front hall.

I use a faux one. It is clearly fake - color is not found in nature. I got it for white Elephant gift exchange one year and I love it. It is festive and tacky at the same time.
