Wreaths are simple and easy to use. These subtle decorations often symbolize gratitude and togetherness for families, especially during the holiday season. Other wreath decorations include candles, and more modern ones are decorated with LED lights and garlands as well.

Generally, front door sizes are 36 inches wide, so a wreath should be 24-30 inches in diameter. However, if you plan to hang them up on walls, they can be smaller or bigger in size, depending on your preference.
There are homemade Halloween wreaths designed for tablescapes that are adjustable in size, depending on your preferences.
Some wreath designs are also meant to be used as tablescape decorations. Wreath table centerpieces are smaller in size so they don't take up a lot of space on the table, especially for sit-down dinners and small gatherings.
