Welcome to FloraPrima, your expert for the most beautiful classical Advent wreaths! Discover the timeless elegance and cozy charm of our traditional wreaths, which make Christmas so special. If you are looking for a wreath that radiates warmth, comfort, and the true essence of the Advent season, you are in the right place. A classical Advent wreath is not just decoration, but a symbol of hope and waiting.
Why a Classical Advent Wreath is the Perfect Choice
A classical wreath is distinguished by its traditional design. It usually consists of fresh fir greenery (such as Nordmann fir or pine) that exudes that incomparable, resinous Christmas scent. Added to this are simple but festive elements:
Four Candles: Often in the traditional colours red, white, or a combination of violet and rose (for the Advent Sundays). Natural Decoration: Red berries, cones, dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, or small wooden figures. Red Ribbons: As an accent for festive elegance. This combination creates an atmosphere that immediately puts you in the Christmas spirit and awakens childhood memories.
Gifting or Keeping? Tips for Your Wreath
Tip 1: The Perfect Placement
Your Advent wreath is the centrepiece of the pre-Christmas season. Place it on a dining table, a side table, or a dresser – ideally where you see it often. Place a simple base (for example, a ceramic plate or a large wooden coaster) underneath to protect your furniture from wax and stylishly showcase the wreath.
Tip 2: Care for Long-Lasting Freshness
To keep your Advent wreath with real fir greenery fresh for a long time, carefully spray the greenery with a little water daily (a simple flower mister is enough). Make sure no water gets onto the candles or sensitive decorations. Store the wreath overnight or when you are not at home in a cool place (e.g., the cellar or balcony) to extend its shelf life.
Tip 3: Safety First!
Never leave burning candles unattended. Keep the wreath away from highly flammable materials (such as curtains). Make sure the candles are firmly placed in the holders and can burn down completely without igniting the greenery.
Your Questions About Our Classical Advent Wreaths
How long does my Advent wreath with fresh fir greenery last?
With good care (daily spraying and cool storage overnight), a fresh wreath usually lasts 2 to 3 weeks, often longer. We use high-quality greenery that stays fresh for a long time.
Which candle colours are typical for a classical Advent wreath?
The most popular are red, often combined with gold or white. Sometimes violet and rose are also used.
Can I also hang the wreath up?
Our classical Advent wreaths are primarily designed as table wreaths. However, with stable ribbons (e.g., a wide red velvet ribbon) and a secure hook, you can also carefully attach it to the ceiling. Pay particular attention to stability and fire safety regulations here.
How do I light the candles correctly?
You start on the first Advent and light the first candle. On each subsequent Sunday, you light another candle until all four are burning on the fourth Advent.
