Wreaths & Garland guide
Wreath & Garland Tips for an Entry That Stops Traffic
The entry is where a display gets finished. These are the rules we use when we hang wreaths and garland across North Jersey — and the mistakes we see most often.
5 best practices for wreaths & garland
Go one size bigger than feels safe
From the street, wreaths shrink. A 36-inch wreath over a garage reads normal; a 48-inch reads spectacular. When in doubt, size up.
Pre-lit or skip it
An unlit wreath disappears at night — which is when everyone sees your house. Warm-white pre-lit greens match the roofline and read all evening.
Hang decor in early November, not October
Greens hung too early look tired by Christmas week. A dedicated decor pass in early November keeps everything fresh through the season.
Garland goes where hands go
Rails, doorframes, and columns — garland belongs on the lines people touch and walk past. Draping it randomly reads cluttered.
Protect the paint
Never nail or tape garland to painted trim. Purpose-made mounts hold everything firm and come off clean in January.
