Foam
Foam wreath forms are a great lightweight option for creating wreaths. Florals can be attached to the wreath with greening pins and hot glue. Foam forms can also be easily covered in moss or wrapped in ribbon as a part of your design. The downside to foam forms is that they can be a bit delicate and can break if they are dropped.
Straw
Straw wreaths are not used as often as other wreath forms, but they are inexpensive and easy to work with. Florals can be attached with floral pins or hot glue and the straw helps with holding stems in place, similar to a grapevine wreath. Straw wreath forms are great for country or fall wreaths, but they aren’t as versatile in style as other forms. Straw can also be a bit messy to work with.
Metal Hoop
Recently, simple metal hoops have become a popular base for modern, asymmetrical wreath designs. They come in a variety of sizes and metal finishes, most commonly silver or brass. They are perfect for a fresh, minimal look. Florals can be attached with floral wire or floral stem tape, although it can be a little tricky to secure them without sliding.
Other Options
These are the most commonly used wreath forms, but there is a wide array of non-traditional wreath forms if you want to get creative. I’ve seen giant wreaths made using a painted hula-hoop as a base, wreaths made with embroidery hoops, picture frames, baskets, wood slices, and bicycle wheels. The options are truly endless!
Use floral wire to attach your faux flowers and greenery to wire wreath forms.
