What Does a Wreath on the Front Door Mean?

Back in the 16th century, wreaths were a symbol of hope and spring during the winter season. It’s also believed that they’re hung on the front door as a way to invite the spirit of Christmas to enter the home. These days, wreaths can be used 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.
