FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Each wreath is carefully packaged with intention to ensure it arrives safely and beautifully. Designs are placed in a sturdy, corrugated box and securely cable-tied to prevent movement during transit.

Because of the delicate nature and size of each wreath, shipping cannot be combined. Each wreath must be purchased and shipped individually to properly account for packaging and handling, helping to prevent damage during delivery.

I ship using UPS Ground, with typical delivery times ranging from 2–5 business days once your order ships. You’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking details when your wreath is on its way. (Pre-orders will receive a separate notification once they ship.)

If you’re located nearby, your wreath may arrive sooner; however, delivery times can vary based on location and UPS service coverage. In the rare event that UPS does not service your area, I will reach out directly to discuss next steps.

Any additional shipping costs would be the responsibility of the buyer.

In the unlikely event that your wreath arrives damaged, please contact Angie Wreaths within 2 business days of receiving your order so I can assist you promptly.

To process a damage claim, photo documentation will be required, and in some cases, a physical inspection at a UPS-approved location may be necessary. You may be asked to return the wreath in its original box with all packing materials included, as this is often required by the carrier for claim review.

If a return is needed, a prepaid return shipping label will be provided. Once the wreath has been shipped back and received by Angie Wreaths, a refund will be issued.

If you are located outside the East Coast, I’m happy to review your request on a case-by-case basis for locations within the United States only. Shipping costs may vary depending on the wreath style, size, and destination. Please reach out to me through the Contact Page and include the wreath you are interested in purchasing along with your shipping address.

I will review the information provided and follow up by phone or email with a shipping fee estimate.

When you place an order, please be sure to double-check all of the shipping details. If an item is returned to me because of an incorrect address, you will be responsible for paying to have it shipped again. 

Pricing adjustments reflect the rising cost of sourcing quality florals and materials, along with increased expenses related to creating each handmade wreath, including tariff-related charges. I’m committed to using quality materials and thoughtful design techniques to ensure every piece is made with care, longevity, and intention. Thank you for understanding and for continuing to support handmade, artisan work. 

It's understandable that you may notice a slight variation in pricing between the wreaths online and at the boutique. The reason for this is that the flat rate shipping fee for online orders only covers the cost of the courier service required for delivery. It does not include the additional expenses for shipping materials such as the box, packing materials, drop off at the courier, insurace, and other associated costs. Rest assured, I prioritize the secure packaging and safe delivery of my creations to online customers, and these extra costs are factored into the price of the wreaths sold online.

Outside of the holiday season, most made-to-order pieces are completed within 1–2 weeks. Each design is thoughtfully handcrafted with care and attention to detail while balancing both boutique and online orders. 

During the holiday season (October through December), made-to-order pieces may take up to 2–3 weeks to complete. Outside of this timeframe, most orders are ready within about 2 weeks.

Each piece is handcrafted with care and attention to detail while balancing both boutique and online orders.

Cancellations:  not accepted. All sales are final. I believe in the products I use and stand by them 100%. Please contact me if you have any problems with your order. 

1. Materials:  The type and quality of materials used in a wreath—such as foliage, florals, ribbons, and embellishments—play a significant role in pricing. High-quality, unique, seasonal, or specialty materials may increase the cost. In some cases, supplier pricing adjustments, including tariff-related increases on imported materials, can also impact overall material costs. 
2. Size and Complexity: Larger or more intricate wreath designs typically require more materials and labor, which can influence the pricing. A larger wreath with elaborate details may be priced higher than a smaller, simpler design.
3. Designer Expertise: The level of skill, experience, and creativity of the wreath designer can influence the price. Established designers with a reputation for creating high-quality, custom designs may charge more for their craftsmanship.
4. Customization: Customized wreaths tailored to specific themes, styles, or preferences may have a higher price point compared to ready-made or generic designs due to the personalized nature of the creation process.
5. Labor and Time: The amount of time and effort required to handcraft a wreath, including design planning, assembly, and finishing touches, can impact the pricing. Intricate designs or techniques that involve meticulous craftsmanship may reflect in the final cost.
6. Market Demand: Market trends, seasonal variations, and supply and demand dynamics can affect the pricing of wreaths. During peak seasons or popular holidays, prices may be adjusted to meet the increased demand for decorative wreaths. 
7.  Shipping and Handling:
   Additional costs such as shipping fees, packaging materials, and handling—particularly for online purchases or deliveries—may contribute to the overall price of a wreath. 
8. Quality and Durability: Wreaths made with durable materials, sturdy construction, and attention to detail can command a higher price due to their longevity and ability to withstand environmental conditions.
9. Artistic Value: The artistic merit, creativity, and aesthetic appeal of a wreath, as well as any unique design elements or artistic techniques utilized, can influence its value and subsequently, the pricing.
10. Supporting Local Businesses: Purchasing wreaths from local artisans or small businesses that prioritize handmade craftsmanship, sustainability, and ethical practices may reflect in the pricing to support the local economy and artisan community.

"Made upon order" it means that each wreath is crafted individually after receiving an order. 

The turnaround time for "made upon order" items can vary depending on factors such as the volume of orders and the availability of materials.  It is typically a week turnaround time before shipping. This timeframe allows Angie Wreaths to clean, reinforce, and condition the grapevine and gather the necessary greenery, florals, and other materials (typically readily available) before crafting and delivering the wreath. 

Rest assured, as the creator, Angie Wreaths work diligently to complete each order in a timely manner.  I prioritize delivering a high-quality product and assure customers that each wreath is handcrafted with love and care, meeting the highest quality standards.

You should be able to put your wreath outside and not have to worry about it getting ruined by the elements. I recommend hanging your wreath on an exterior door that has a slight overhang. If you know of a big rainstorm coming where there will be sheets of horizontal rain and a lot of wind, I suggest taking your wreath off the door until the storm passes. For light showers, it should be fine. But as you know, over time the sun will fade a wreath, some flowers or mesh fade faster than others. But don't worry; your wreath should give you 3-4 seasons of enjoyment before that happens! 

Yes—this is one of the most common questions I receive! Many of my customers love their wreaths so much, they enjoy displaying them inside their homes, not just on the front door. For inspiration and styling ideas, I invite you to read my article Creative Ways to Display Wreaths, or visit my Customer Love Portfolio to see how customers are styling their wreaths in their own homes.

1. Quality of Materials: Assess the materials used in the wreath, such as the foliage, flowers, ribbons, and decorative elements. Look for high-quality, lifelike, and durable materials that contribute to the overall appearance and longevity of the wreath.
2. Craftsmanship: Pay attention to the construction and craftsmanship of the wreath. Check for secure attachment of components, sturdy wiring, and attention to detail in the arrangement of elements.
3. Symmetry and Proportion: Evaluate the overall symmetry and proportion of the wreath. A well-crafted wreath should have balanced proportions, harmonious placement of decorations, and a visually pleasing shape.
4. Color Composition: Consider the color palette and composition of the wreath. Look for a cohesive color scheme, complementary hues, and a balanced distribution of colors that enhance the overall visual impact.
5. Durability and Longevity: Assess the durability and resilience of the wreath, especially if it will be displayed outdoors. Check for weather-resistant materials, sturdy construction, and overall quality that will help the wreath maintain its appearance over time.
6. Attention to Detail: Examine the finer details of the wreath, such as intricate designs, unique embellishments, and thoughtful finishing touches that showcase the artisan's attention to detail and creativity.
7. Aroma (if applicable): If the wreath includes natural botanical elements, consider the aroma. A well-crafted wreath made with fragrant foliage or flowers should emit a pleasant, natural scent.
8. Personalization and Customization (if applicable): If the wreath is customized or personalized, ensure that it aligns with the specified preferences, themes, or styles. Look for unique, tailored details that reflect its intended purpose or recipient.
9. Artistic Expression: Consider the artistic expression and creativity reflected in the wreath. Look for innovative design elements, artistic techniques, and a distinct style that sets the handcrafted wreath apart from mass-produced alternatives.

Yes! All wreaths listed in my online shop are available for purchase through online checkout. During checkout, simply select local pickup at Painted Tree Boutiques in Cary, NC, and your wreath will be delivered there for pickup. 

At this time, I do not have the option to directly ship wreaths from the boutique. However, if you have seen a wreath in one of my social media posts, I can recreate a similar one for you to be shipped once it is paid for in advance as a 'MADE TO ORDER' item via the online shop. 

I use quality faux products and affixing materials that are meant to last through several seasons. I use high-temperature hot glue, steel picks, cable zip ties, and floral vine wire. All of my wreaths are very neat and professional.

I take extra measures to thoroughly clean, reinforce, and condition grapevines before designing them, which is a process that takes at least 3-4 hours. After I execute a design, I use the same products in the design and incorporate some of it into the backside between the airy gaps where you can see through the vines to give a more natural polished finished creation from front to back.

Mesh wreaths are made on a sealed metal wire frame. I use the same affixing materials noted above. 

The sizes of my creations are included in the description of the item. I measure each item before listing it, So you can be confident that the measurement is accurate. If you ever need to be absolutely certain or need confirmation of size, please message me. 

• Send me a message via my contact page and provide details about the wreath, description, or any specific features you remember. Also, there’s a good chance if you check my website portfolios or Facebook  pages there may be a photo.
• I will check if I have the necessary supplies to create a similar wreath.
  If I can recreate the wreath, I will provide you with the estimated cost and delivery time frame. If you confirm to move forward, we will process the payment and begin crafting your wreath.

Please keep in mind that the availability of supplies may vary, so I cannot guarantee an exact match. However, I will do my best to create a wreath that meets your preferences.
