Why Fresh Wreaths Beat Artificial Ones Every Time

Why Fresh Wreaths Beat Artificial Ones Every Time

If you're decking out your home for the holidays, a wreath is the perfect way to bring in the cozy, festive vibes. But the big question is: fresh or artificial? Here at WreathCo, we’re all about fresh! And it’s not just because we love the smell of pine – fresh wreaths bring so much to your holiday setup that artificial ones simply can’t. Here’s why going natural with a fresh wreath is the best choice for your home and the planet.

1. The Real Deal Pine Scent: Like Nature's Own Holiday Candle

Let’s face it – there’s nothing quite like the smell of real pine. Fresh wreaths bring that authentic pine scent that fills the air and brings instant holiday cheer. It’s not just a pleasant smell, either. Pine’s natural aroma has aromatherapy benefits, known for promoting calm and lifting your mood – just what we all need during the busy holiday season! You won’t get this with an artificial wreath, no matter how “pine-scented” it claims to be.

2. Choosing Fresh is Choosing Sustainability

Artificial wreaths might look festive, but their environmental impact? Not so cheerful. Made from plastic and synthetic materials, they rely on fossil fuels to produce, and unfortunately, most will eventually end up in landfills. Fresh wreaths, on the other hand, are completely natural and biodegradable. WreathCo takes extra care with our wreaths, using sustainable harvesting techniques that actually help the trees grow better. So when you choose a fresh wreath, you’re making an eco-friendly choice that supports healthy forests.

3. Nature’s Touch of Unique Beauty

No two natural wreaths are exactly alike – each one is full of its own personality. Real foliage has a certain richness and authenticity that artificial materials just can’t capture. Take our “Silver Bells” wreath, for example. Its silver pine needles are natural (not glitter or spray!) and give an elegant touch that only Mother Nature could design. Fresh wreaths bring a little piece of the great outdoors right into your home, making your holiday decor even more special.

4. Fresh Wreaths Don’t Leave a Trace

Artificial wreaths are often replaced every few years, meaning more waste and more landfill buildup. When the season’s over, fresh wreaths can be composted or even used as mulch for your garden, leaving nothing behind but a greener earth. It’s a guilt-free choice that fits right in with holiday traditions that focus on giving back.

Make the Switch to Fresh This Holiday Season

Choosing a fresh wreath means more than just festive decor – it’s an invitation to bring the beauty and freshness of nature into your home. At WreathCo, we’re dedicated to creating wreaths that are sustainable, beautiful, and unique, with all the natural benefits you love. So this holiday season, treat yourself and the planet to a fresh wreath and feel good about your holiday decor choice, from your front door to the forest.
