There’s always the easy option—you can pop into Michaels and grab a perfectly symmetrical, seasonal artificial wreath off the shelf. But as a dried flower farmer in Toronto, I can’t help but see things a little differently. I know firsthand how much time, care, and patience goes into growing, harvesting, and drying flowers at just the right moment so they hold their colour and shape for months to come.
That’s what makes dried flower wreaths so special to me—they carry the colour and texture of real flowers straight through our long Ontario winters. In a season where everything outside feels muted and still, they bring a softness and warmth back into your home. They also make incredibly thoughtful gifts, especially around Christmas, when something handmade and locally grown feels even more meaningful. If you're feeling creative, you can even try crafting one yourself.
Where to Buy Dried Flower Wreaths in Toronto
If you’re searching for dried flower wreaths in Toronto, I always recommend starting local—either with flower farms or independent dried flower artists that ship across Canada. Not only will you get better quality, but you’re also supporting growers who are working with the seasons here in Ontario.
Here are a few beautiful options to explore:
-
Mae Blooms – (approx. $95–$150 CAD)
-
West Coast Wildflowers – (approx. $85 CAD)
-
Fabloomosity – (approx. $65–$120 CAD)
-
Stone Meadow Gardens – (approx. $75–$140 CAD)
-
Rockrose Farm – (approx. $90–$160 CAD)
-
Perennial Petals – (approx. $80–$130 CAD)
-
Charlie May Farm – (approx. $85–$150 CAD)
You can also find beautiful, one-of-a-kind wreaths at Toronto farmers markets, as well as holiday and spring markets, where many small growers sell limited seasonal batches. And if you’re open to browsing, Etsy can be a great place to discover Ontario-based makers—just be sure to filter by location.
What to Look For in a High-Quality Dried Flower Wreath
Not all dried wreaths are created equal, and this is where buying from a grower or experienced artist really shows.
Most well-made wreaths include flowers like:
-
strawflower (for structure and colour retention)
-
statice (for soft filler and pastel tones)
-
lavender (for scent and texture)
-
globe amaranth or other everlasting blooms
These flowers are chosen because they dry beautifully and hold their shape without crumbling. When something looks overly brittle or faded, it’s often a sign it wasn’t harvested or dried at the right stage.
A Few Honest Buying Tips
One thing I always tell people: if you can pick up locally, do it.
Wreaths are fragile and bulky, and shipping can add a surprising amount to the cost—not to mention the risk of breakage. When you’re already investing in a handmade, premium item, it’s worth arranging a local pickup if possible.
It’s also a good idea to compare prices, but within reason. If something feels significantly cheaper than everything else, there’s usually a reason—lower-quality materials, imported dried flowers, or less time spent on construction.
Want Something Even More Personal?
If you’re feeling creative, look for dried flower wreath workshops at local farms and studios (like Charlie May Farm). These are such a lovely way to spend an afternoon, and you walk away with something you made yourself—often using locally grown materials.
There’s something about dried flower wreaths that just feels right for this part of the world. They bridge the seasons—holding onto summer long after the garden has gone quiet. And when they’re made locally, from flowers grown just a few hours (or minutes) away, they carry a story that you simply can’t replicate any other way.
