removing wire from a ribbon

I'm recently bought a boxwood wreath from Target.

I wanted to use my red and white striped ribbon, but it was wired.

One might think that wired ribbon would have more 'life' to it.  But in this situation, I feel like the ribbon looked particularly stiff and forced.

After a quick pull on each side of the ribbon, the wire was out!

Then I hung the wreath back up...

It's much more relaxed to me now! Just the look I was hoping for.

And the red against the green….perfect!
