Dried Japanese Fall Harvest Wreath

I might've misunderstood, but I figured when I bought it today a fall wreath would he hang on the front door, over the pots of mum's and pumpkins on the porch. But this wreath, though beautiful, wasn't sturdy enough for the outside. My wife tells me it was meant for the great indoors. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bought it. Further, it came apart somewhat when I took it out of its carton. I wouldn't buy it again.

The orange lantern plants do not "pop bright orange" as promised in the description, because they are glued to underlying leaves and hidden when the wreath is hung. This makes for a drab wreath. The photo of the wreath must have been taken before hanging.

This wreath comes from Creekside Farms (less than 10 miles from where I live). It arrived and I opened it and put it on my door (on a covered porch facing south). Within two days, it was completely dried out. At almost $80.00, I'm not prepared to put it in the garbage ): The eucalyptus on the top half is hanging so much that it has disfigured the wreath. I am very very disappointed and want to know what you think I should do. This is not my experience with my MANY Foot 52 purchases.
