Fall Wreath Care Checklist: Getting Through Football Season

August 5, 2026Updated August 28, 2026 3 min read

Fall wreaths hang the longest of any season — often twelve weeks straight. A quick checklist keeps them looking new in November.

Before you hang it

  • Fluff every mesh pouf and open the bow loops fully — they compress in storage.
  • Check that berry and pumpkin stems are still seated in the glue; press any loose ones back while the wreath is flat.
  • Wipe the door itself; dust transfers to ribbon over a long season.

Mid-season, around week six

  • Cool-air dust with a hair dryer.
  • Rotate the wreath a quarter turn if one side gets consistent sun — it evens out any fading.
  • Re-fluff the bow tails, which flatten against the door over time.

Storms and travel

Autumn storms are the main risk for an uncovered door. If a front is coming through, take the wreath inside for the afternoon — five minutes of effort protects twelve weeks of display. The same applies before a holiday trip.

Game-day wreaths

Team wreaths travel to tailgates, which means more handling than a door wreath ever gets. Transport them flat in the back seat rather than the trunk, and never stack anything on top. If a ribbon streamer creases, a warm hair dryer and a gentle pull will bring it back.
