Frequently Asked Questions
Below are questions and answers to the most common topics about wreaths and how to decorate your home with them.
What Does a Wreath on the Front Door Mean?
In the 16th century, wreaths were a symbol of hope and spring during the winter season. They were also believed to be hung on the front door to invite the spirit of Christmas into the home. These days, people use wreaths to decorate the front door whether it’s spring, fall, or winter.
What Size Wreath Should I Put On My Front Door?
Measure the height and width of your front door. A wreath should cover 50 to 75% of the door’s width and shouldn’t be wider or taller than the hanging surface. For a standard 30- to 36-inch door, allot about 6 inches of space on each side of the wreath. Choose a bigger wreath and leave at least 2 inches of space on each side for a more dramatic effect.
How Do I Hang a Wreath on My Front Door?
Use a wreath hook for your front door to make decorating easier and more convenient. This way, you also won’t have to worry about damage from adhesives or screws. Our metal wreath hanger for front doors is adjustable and can support wreaths weighing up to 20 pounds.
