Natural Evergreen Wreaths Built for Seasonal Display
Christmas Wreaths in Two Harbors for entryways, porches, and windows requiring fresh-cut Northern Minnesota greenery in sizes from 18 to 48 inches
Sizing a wreath correctly for its intended location is what separates a display that reads well from one that looks proportionally off. Northern Connections Christmas Trees, Wreathes, & Nursery offers fresh evergreen wreaths in a range spanning 18 to 48 inches, along with swags, candy cane designs, crosses, and both right- and left-facing options—a selection broad enough to match standard front doors, double entry panels, oversized porch columns, and interior window installations where a small accent is the right call rather than a statement piece.
Each wreath is constructed from natural Northern Minnesota evergreen material, which means the fragrance, needle texture, and visual depth come from actual cut greenery rather than artificial components. That natural construction also means the wreath responds to its environment the way a fresh-cut tree does—consistent moisture exposure slows the drying process, while direct heat or full sun accelerates it. For outdoor installations in cold climates, natural wreaths typically hold their color and texture well through the season because the low temperatures slow the rate at which cut greenery dries out.
Confirm your preferred size, style, and orientation at Northern Connections and place your wreath order to arrange shipping before seasonal inventory closes.
What Changes Once the Right Wreath Is Installed
Wreath selection involves more decisions than just size. Right- and left-facing options exist because certain design styles—candy cane patterns in particular—have a visual direction that affects how they read on a door or wall. Installing a right-facing design on a left-positioned panel, or vice versa, produces an asymmetry that reads as unintentional. Selecting the correct orientation before ordering is a detail that matters most on double-door installations where two wreaths are hung in a mirrored arrangement.
Once properly hung, a correctly sized wreath from Northern Connections fills its intended space with visible depth and natural color—the layered evergreen construction produces a three-dimensional profile that flat or artificial wreaths don't replicate. The fragrance from fresh Northern Minnesota greenery is present without being concentrated, which makes natural wreaths effective in covered outdoor entries where the scent disperses into the surrounding air rather than accumulating indoors.
Swags offer an alternative to the traditional circular wreath form for installations where a hanging, draping arrangement fits better than a ring—above a garage door, along a stair railing, or framing a window where a wreath's circular shape doesn't suit the opening geometry. Crosses serve a different function entirely, suited for memorial or religious display contexts where the wreath form isn't appropriate. Knowing which style fits the specific location before ordering prevents a mismatch between what arrives and where it's meant to go.
Common Questions About Wreath Sizing and Ordering
These answers cover the questions customers most frequently ask when selecting wreath size, style, and care approach for specific installation locations.
What size wreath fits a standard front door?
A standard single entry door typically accommodates a 24-inch wreath proportionally, while double doors or oversized entries generally read better with 30-inch to 36-inch wreaths—measuring the door width before ordering prevents undersizing a prominent display location.
How do right-facing and left-facing wreaths differ?
On directional designs like candy cane patterns, the facing determines which direction the design element points when the wreath is hung—for mirrored double-door installations, ordering one of each facing creates the symmetrical appearance most customers intend.
How do I keep a natural wreath looking fresh after it arrives from Two Harbors?
Hanging the wreath in a shaded or covered location away from direct heat sources slows the drying process significantly—in cold outdoor conditions like those common in Northern Minnesota winters, natural wreaths hold their color and texture through the full season.
Why choose a swag instead of a traditional circular wreath?
Swags suit horizontal or angled installations where a circular form doesn't fit the architecture—above wide windows, along railings, or framing doorways where the linear drape of a swag follows the structure more naturally than a ring.
