Indie sleaze is back. So are early Instagram filters, washed-out denim, and — perhaps most top of mind — flower crowns. In the name of Vanessa Hudgens and Lana Del Rey, Coachella 2025 had a tinge of sepia circa 2012. Though, the resurgence feels less earnest this time around. Slightly more tongue-in-cheek. And we seem to be in the mood for irony.
So now, I can’t help but think of flower crowns of a different kind: the spring wreath. A cool-girl accessory — for your door. Still criminally underrated. We tend to reserve wreaths for December. But as spring decor ideas? They hit differently. Softer, more romantic. Whimsical without trying too hard.
There’s something oddly satisfying about misplacing the expected. Like eating breakfast for dinner, or wearing white when you’re not supposed to — mildly rebellious, deeply comforting.
A wreath of lilac or hydrangea is a low-effort way of saying: something’s happening here. Even if that something is just a mood shift, or a spring table being set. It lets guests know, before the door even opens, what’s blooming inside.
And yes, I found a few good ones. Really good ones. From a source you’d never expect...QVC.
Not cherry blossoms — plum blossoms. Still floral, but less fanciful — for those who stay committed to monochrome (more or less) year-round. This one hits the sweet spot. At 24 inches in diameter, it’s compact enough for an apartment entryway but pretty enough to style indoors.
For the garden party maximalists, this Penelope Bridgerton-adjacent wreath is peach perfection — soft creams and blushing pinks arranged just imperfectly enough to look real. Reviewers love the lifelike feel, but I’m personally drawn to its full-bloom energy.
No florals, no fuss. Just eucalyptus stems placed in quiet, deliberate balance. It’s fresh, unfussy, and reads more like a design choice than seasonal decor. The kind of piece that looks just as good in August as it does in April.
Equal parts fresh and romantic, this wreath mixes greenery with soft spring florals in blush, cream, and coral. It can go one of two ways: bold contrast on a dark-painted door or wall (navy would look fabulous), or quiet cohesion if you’ve already got eucalyptus or warm-toned florals nearby. Either way, it reads polished — Martha would approve.
This two-toned hydrangea halo — white with a brilliant burst of blue — feels preppy in the best way. Like you’ve got a riding lesson at noon and plans to polish silver with an old fashioned in hand by five. It pairs beautifully with the outdoor classics: weathered wood, wicker, and crisp white windowsills.
Tulips are polarizing — you either adore them or avoid them. If you’re in the former camp and down for a slightly on-the-nose spring moment, this wreath is pretty peak seasonal fare. It’s not exactly evergreen, but it is unmistakably spring. Lean into it with Easter-egg blues, soft pinks, and full pastels. No notes.
A little Disney, in a good way. Floral cascade-iification became a thing during early Covid — suddenly spilling off of cool restaurant ceilings everywhere — and honestly? It stuck for a reason. This wreath takes that same enchanted energy and translates it into a petite package. Try it on the door or even as a table centerpiece for a romantic dinner or garden brunch.
I’d never turn my nose up at a halo of roses — and I imagine neither would your guests. They’re a classic for a reason. Paired with lush faux greenery, this wreath channels the energy of a perfectly tended garden: charmingly beautiful and a little wild. It’s also a crowd-pleaser — literally. A perfect 5-star rating, with one reviewer calling it the best wreath they’ve ever purchased. Choose your bloom: plush pink or a soft, buttery yellow.
It’s hard to reinvent the wheel — or in this case, the wreath. The shape is fixed, the formula familiar. And yet, this one manages to surprise. A full-spectrum spring color story of purples, oranges, reds, and greens gives it a party-in-full-swing vibe that reads: who lives here and can I stay for dinner. Unexpected in the best way.
