Buying Guide
While wreaths are typically associated with the Christmas season, they can actually be hung up all year round. As they’re essentially just greenery arranged in a donut shape, wreaths are an easy way to adorn front doors and make them look festive and magical. Wreaths can be hung for occasions of any kind, from welcoming new seasons to religious holidays and birthdays or other personal milestones.
There are different styles of wreaths, but most of them, whether real or artificial, start out unadorned. While wreaths with real greenery have a lifespan, wreaths with artificial greenery can be used for an extended period of time — even multiple years. Some wreaths have lights as embellishments, which add a lovely little sparkle to the piece. Of course, with these types of wreaths you will need to ensure there is a power source nearby or that the wreaths are battery-powered.

Wreaths can also be embellished with items such as ribbons, bows, tinsel and bells. Or, they can include natural items such as flowers, pinecones, berries and leaves. Regardless of what kind of materials decorate the wreaths, it’s important to ensure they are suitable for their environment. For example, wreaths hung outdoors should be made with materials that can withstand rain or snow or harsh sun without degrading. The same goes for wreaths that are hung up near a fireplace. You’ll want to make sure none of the materials are flammable.
What to Look For
- Unsure which size wreath to get? It depends on where you are hanging it. If it’s going on an average-sized door, for example, you’ll want to go with a wreath that is between 24 to 30 inches in diameter. For those that will be displayed on a tabletop, you can go with a smaller size. If you’re hanging it on a large wall, you may be able to get away with an even larger one. Be sure to measure the space carefully to determine which size will work best.
- Hanging up a wreath can be challenging, especially when you want to make sure not to damage any walls or door surfaces. In addition to using specialty wreath hangers, you can also use ribbons or twine to hang up wreaths. You can also reuse picture-hanging hooks as well. If you don’t want to put up any nails, simply prop the wreath up on a surface where it can be viewed, such as a fireplace mantle or a dining table.
- If you’re using an artificial wreath, it’s best to store it properly so you can use it for many seasons to come. Depending on the embellishments on the wreath, you may want to remove them for storage and wrap them separately so they don’t break or tear. Be sure to wrap any delicate items in craft paper or bubble wrap and label it clearly so you know what it is. The wreath itself can be wrapped in greenery paper and placed in a box or bin.
- If you have multiple wreaths you like to use at different times of the year, you can swap storage boxes as you take out the next wreath to put up. This will save you storage space and you won’t have to make room for empty boxes.

Did you know that the history of wreaths dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans? These civilizations made ring-shaped headdresses using leaves, small fruit and flowers. These small wreaths were representative of the person’s occupation, rank in society and their social status. In fact, the word wreath comes from the Greek word “diadema,” which translates to “a thing bound around.”
It is also said that the art of wreathmaking is part of Christian lore. To show their perseverance through harsh winters, Christians created advent wreaths to showcase their strength. The circular shape of the wreath is symbolic of Christian immortality, and this is why wreaths are typically associated with the Christmas season.
