Wreaths - all natural dried and preserved floral wreaths and silk wreaths
Preserved Wreaths

Our
spring wreaths are now hear. With over 200 award winning
designs, you are sure to find a wreath to fit your needs. Preserved Wreaths are made from floral that are typically dried
and an agent applied to them that will preserve them for many years
to come. Additionally a "brightening" agent may be applied to
enhance and preserve the natural color of the original floral
wreath. A preserved wreath last longest when used indoors, as outdoor exposure
may subject them to damage from high heat, moisture and other
elements. Additionally, the preservative agents may "leak"
when used outdoors and cause discoloration to any materials in which the
agent may contact. For longer life place your preserved wreath
indoor away from direct sunlight and high humidity.

Dried Wreaths
Dried Wreaths are just as the name implies. The floral is
placed in a controlled environment and allowed to dry naturally.
The dried floral used in these wreaths will also last for many
seasons and can be used safely outdoors without concern for agents
leaking out of the wreaths.
Silk Wreaths
Silk Wreaths are made from silk floral that are in essence
artificially made from a variety of materials including silk.
There is a huge difference in quality between many of the
manufactures of silk floral wreaths. Darby Creek Trading uses
only the best available sources to be used in our silk wreaths.
One of the advantages of silk wreaths over preserved wreaths is
they can be hung outdoors over a protected area without having
to worry about preservatives leaking.

Combination Wreaths
A combination wreath may consist of any combination of dried, preserved and silk wreaths.
Some of Darby Creek Trading wreaths may consist of mostly dried and preserved floral with silk accent pieces.
These are used many times to add color or when mother nature simply does not provide us the natural floral during certain times of the year.
Grape Vine Wreaths
Grape vine wreaths are typically use a backing material made
from a woody like branches that is created into the shape of the
wreath being made and the floral elements are inserted into the
grape vine to give the wreath a very full appearance.
Wire Backed Based Wreaths

Wire backed wreaths start with a thick metal wire shaped into
the shape of the wreath. All wire based wreaths offered by
Darby Creek Trading consists of 100% dried and/or preserved floral.
The wreaths do not contain any grape vine filler nor artificial
floral. These wreaths typically cost slightly more to make
because they take substantially more materials and labor to
create.
Christmas Wreaths & Holiday Wreaths
Christmas Wreaths awaken two senses - sight and scent. We
offer Christmas wreaths made from a variety of seasonal
elements including cranberries, natural green cedar, red
burgundy, holly, preserved roses, spiced cedar, and other
holiday festive foliage.
Door Wreaths
Many of our silk and dried wreaths make an excellent choice to
display on your front door. When displaying your wreaths
on an outside door, the life of the wreath is dependant on the
exposure to the elements. We have displayed many of our
seasonal wreaths for several years without issue in Ohio where
we have a wide exposure to heat, cold, rain and snow. The
more you protect your wreath from direct sunlight, direct rain,
snow and high humidity, the longer life your wreath will have.
Please note that any material exposed to direct sunlight will
fade after time. A covered porch is an ideal environment
for these wreaths. We do not recommend persevered wreaths
for outdoor use.
Swags
Darby Creek offers a variety of floral swags that make perfect
accent pieces. They come in all of the variety of styles
mentioned above. Consider coordinating your floral
arrangements in your home with our combination sets of wreaths,
tabletop florals and swags.
