How to keep table wreath straight

Ok I know this is a first world problem but here goes. I bought a lovely, long, sparkly wreath last night to lay down the centre of the dining table at Christmas. Problem is it keeps curling into a circle and doesn't lie straight. It's made of fake branches so I can't really bend it into positron.. Anyone got any ideas how to fix it into shape?

I don't think it will work, on the table. If you had it on a mantlepiece above the fire then the wall keeps it straight/propped up.

Gah that's what I'm thinking! I've already got two lovely ones on the fireplace in the dining room. I'll maybe swap them round and see if any others work better. Thanks @CherryPlum

Are you sure the branches cant be bent carefully - most faux foliage has wire Stems covered with plastic so you can arrange them?

Can you get one of the little green garden canes/sticks and attach it to the underside?

Or try and put some weights to dangle off the ends to keep it straight?

I'll try these tips. Thanks everyone. I think the foliage is probably wire covered in plastic so I could probably bend it more!
