What Real Christmas Door Wreaths Are Made Of — And Why You Should Order Yours Fresh This Year

If you love the look, scent, and tradition of a real Christmas door wreath, you may be wondering what they’re actually made of. Fresh christmas wreaths bring a cosy christmas aesthetic to your front doors, and the natural materials used to create them are what make them so special.

In this guide, we’ll break down exactly what real Christmas wreaths are made from, why fresh greenery matters, and how you can order a beautifully handcrafted wreath directly from us for the festive season, that will be crafted by a professional florist. 

What Are Real Christmas Wreaths Made Of?

Real Christmas door wreaths are crafted from natural, freshly cut greenery and seasonal botanicals. Unlike artificial wreaths, every fresh wreath is unique—no two are ever the same. Here are the key materials you’ll find in high-quality wreaths like the ones we create.

1. Fresh Evergreens (The Heart of Every Wreath)

The base of a real wreath is usually made from one or more of the following connifers: 

• Noble Fir

Loved for its strong needles and rich blue-green colour.

• Nordmann Fir

Soft, glossy needles that hold moisture exceptionally well.

• Spruce

Classic Christmas fragrance with a full, textured look.

• Cedar

Long, feathery branches that add elegance and movement.

These fresh evergreens create the fullness, fragrance, and natural beauty that artificial wreaths simply can’t match.

2. Natural Decorations

To give each wreath personality and charm, and that fresh and natural christmas scent we decorate with real seasonal elements such as:

• Pine Cones

Rustic and perfect for a winter woodland feel.

• Dried Oranges

Citrus slices give a warm, traditional Christmas look and smell incredible.

• Cinnamon Sticks

A favourite for customers who love a warm, spicy, holiday scent.

3. A Wire or Twig Frame

Every wreath needs a sturdy base. Most real wreaths are made using:

• A wire frame

Strong, durable, and perfect for supporting lush greenery.

• A woven twig or grapevine base

Ideal for those who love a rustic and natural appearance.

Both types ensure the wreath keeps its shape for the entire season.

4. Decorative Ribbons & Seasonal Finishing Touches

Many of our handcrafted wreaths come with:

• Luxury velvet bows

• Tartan ribbons

• Burlap bows for a rustic finish

• Festive coloured ribbons to match your door

These details elevate your wreath and help it coordinate beautifully with your holiday décor.

Why Choose a Real Christmas Wreath Instead of Artificial?

If you’ve ever compared the two side-by-side, you know the difference is immediate.

✔ Natural fragrance

Fresh greenery brings that unmistakable Christmas scent to your doorway. Just like a real christmas tree without the mess! 

✔ Eco-friendly & biodegradable

Real wreaths return to nature after the season—no landfill waste.

✔ Unique craftsmanship

Every wreath is hand-built using natural materials, not mass-produced plastic.

✔ Lush, vibrant greenery

Real foliage has movement, texture, and colour depth that artificial can’t replicate.

When you order a real wreath from us, you’re getting a handmade, fresh, premium-quality decoration designed to last the entire festive season.
