Which Wreath Base is Right?
Seasonal, asymmetrical, floral, funeral, greenery, hoop and half wreathes… all terms you hear and use. There is an increase in wreath business for sure, with consumers seeing them used year round inside and out. With so many choices available, it can be difficult to narrow down the options. To help make the search easier, the following outlines the quality, application and value of each wreath base.
Pioneer offers nine wreath styes delivered right to your shop. This guide makes it easier than ever to select the wreath base needed for your design and retail price point needs.
Known for: Lifelike, finished look
Price point: $-$
Designers Choice: Authentic-looking artificial foliage is used to create a completely finished wreath. Use it to provide a simple, monochromatic look to customers, or personalize with silk flowers or ribbon. Faux stems are glued and wired into a grapevine wreath form easy to handle and hang out of the box.
Known for: Colorful, designer look
Price point: $-$
Designers Choice: Ready-to sell and merchandise online or in-store, floral wreaths save you time. Specially curated looks from Pioneer Imports team mean you see a variety of floral textures, shapes and hues as if you selected each stem yourself. Faux stems are glued and wired into a grapevine wreath form easy to handle and hang out of the box. For extreme needs of size and depth, additional embellishment, or doubling up can be done.
Known for: Modern simplicity
Price point: $
Designers Choice: This sturdy steel is powder coated to prevent flaking and rusting with a metallic gold finish. Ideal for asymmetrical or half designs, leaving part exposed still provides a finished look. Extremely rigid.
Known for: Rustic character
Price point: $
Designers Choice: Chicken wire is stretched around the form filling the center of these wreath forms. Extremely malleable, these wires provides a unique opportunity to wire or clip photographs, place cards, floral and mementos to a design. Glue or wire items into place. Leaving the exposed grid of the wire visible adds to the rustic charm.
Known for: Contemporary or retro geometry
Price point: $
Designers Choice: For a wider, flatter surface than most wreathes, twine is woven in a circular pattern. The twisted nature of twine and its circular pattern make it strong and taut. It makes a bold impact alone or with some foliage.
Known for: Irregular, natural frame
Price point: $
Designers choice: Variety in moss and vine create a naturally irregular coloration and shape. Ideal to insert silk flower stems, the form holds its shape while still being easily penetrable. Faux moss is more durable and retains its color better than the real or dried variety and can be left exposed, saving time and money from covering an entire base while still looking natural.
Known for: Classic, rigid shape
Price point: $
Designers Choice: The perfect weaving of willow resembles classic basket looks. Willow is rigid and uniform, smooth and finished. The meticulous grid of weaving supports silk flower insertions, or can be left bare for a clean look.
Known for: Wild and natural look
Price point: $
Designers Choice: For an almost faerie tale, organic look, the artificial twigs are bound together loosely. Twigs of all differently lengths are snapped to create an unfinished edge while maintain a sturdy base.
Known for: Natural fibers with golden and silky shine
Price point: $
Designers choice: This versatile natural fiber is known for its use in yarn and packaging. Designers love its high tensile strength and environmental friendliness. Used to create shapes that work with or without foliage and flowers, they add a style of décor for more modern clientele.
