Wreaths & Garlands

Pine, eucalyptus and faux foliage in our Christmas wreaths and garlands

Choose a pine or fir-style wreath if you want the most traditional look, as the dense, textured base holds decorations like baubles or ribbon well. Go for eucalyptus instead if you'd rather a softer, more native Australian take on the classic pine base, with a lighter scent and a more relaxed shape. If you decorate the same door or mantel every year, an artificial wreath is the more practical purchase because it lasts for years without needing to be replaced each season. You can still get a natural scent without buying an entirely fresh wreath by mixing a few real sprigs, like eucalyptus or holly, into the artificial base.

Pair your wreath with the rest of our Christmas decorations for a coordinated look.

Choosing a Christmas wreath size for your door or entryway

Measure your door before you buy: a wreath around 30 to 40cm in diameter suits most standard front doors without overwhelming the door's own detail or hardware. Go larger, closer to 60cm or more, if you're hanging it on double doors, a feature wall, or above a mantelpiece, where a smaller wreath would look lost.

Hang the wreath at eye level rather than right at the top of the door. Keeping it centered in your field of vision anchors the entrance and looks far more proportional against the door frame. It also feels more inviting. If you're unsure between two sizes, measuring the door's width and leaving at least 10cm of clearance on either side gives a good guide before you buy.

Christmas garlands for stairs, mantels and doorframes

Drape a garland along the staircase bannister to transform one of the most visible areas in your entry hallway. If you're styling a mantelpiece, weave fairy lights or small ornaments deep into the foliage rather than laying the garland flat along the shelf edge for a much fuller finish. Run a garland vertically up each side of a doorframe if you want to frame an entryway without blocking the door itself. Measure the length you need before you buy, because a garland that's too short leaves a gap, and one that's too long needs awkward bunching to take up the slack.

Frequently asked questions

Can Christmas wreaths be hung outdoors?

Yes, many wreaths are suitable for outdoor use on a covered porch or front door. Direct rain and strong sun can fade colours faster than indoor display, so a covered spot is best.

What's the best way to hang a wreath without damaging the door?

An over-the-door hook is the easiest option and avoids nails, screws or adhesive on the door itself. Adhesive hooks rated for the wreath's weight are a good alternative for glass or frameless doors.

How do I store a wreath or garland after the season ends?

Faux wreaths and garlands store best in a box slightly larger than the piece itself to avoid crushing the foliage. Hanging them in a garment bag is also an option if you're short on box storage.

Does Temple & Webster sell pre-lit wreaths and garlands?

Yes, a number of our wreath and garland styles come with battery-operated fairy lights built into the foliage. These typically include a built-in timer or simple on/off switch on the battery pack.
