Types of Wreaths

Wreaths can be made out of many different materials and there is an assortment for every occasion. From winter greenery with florals and leaves, to winter wreaths with fresh fir branches and magnolia leaves. Here are a few common types of wreaths:

  • Grapevine
  • Floral
  • Boxwood
  • Eucalyptus
  • Holly
  • Pine/Cypress/Fir
  • Magnolia
  • Lavender
  • Citrus

What size wreath do i need?

A front door wreath should cover 2/3 to 75% of the door’s width. For windows, aim for 1/2 to 3/4 width of the window. So, for a standard 36 inch door, a 25″ to 28″ wreath will be the best size.

As with lighting and most other things, bigger is better. It’s always better to have a too large wreath than not large enough!

how are wreaths measured?

The diameter of the wreath is measured across the front from one side straight across to the other.

How to Hang Wreaths on your front door

There are a variety of ways to hang a wreath on your front door, but the simplest way is to use an over the door wreath hook. Below are some quality wreath hooks to easily decorate your front door.

how to hang wreaths on windows

To hang wreaths on windows, hang the wreaths with a magnetic hook. One piece of the hook is on the outside of the window, and the other magnetic part holds it from the inside of the window.

how to hang wreaths with ribbon

Cut a 3-inch-wide satin or grosgrain ribbon long enough, when doubled, to hang your wreath at the desired height. 

Loop ribbon around the back of the wreath form. Join the ends, and fold them over 1/2 inch. Then, secure it to the top of door with thumbtacks.

Grab one of these wreath bags or boxes on Amazon to keep your wreath from being smooshed. Alternatively, I hang some of my seasonal wreaths in eaves or coat closet so that I can easily swap them out.

where to buy wreaths For your Front Door

how to make big bows for wreaths

We love a ribbon bow to hang a wreath on doors, windows and chairs (for seasonal dinner parties) or even hosting book club. To get the look, grab your favorite 2″- 4″ ribbon.

Cut 2 lengths of ribbon and tie a bow with one ribbon. You can use the over, under method to ensure the front has a square knot center and isn’t twisted.

Then with the remaining length of ribbon, loop it through the middle of the wreath and back up to the top. Tie a double knot so that the ribbon has formed a loose circle around the wreath.

Hang the wreath by the ribbon!
