Easter Wreaths

The fortnight before Easter Sunday is the classic window — hang it when Lent turns and the spring wreath can take a two-week bench. Because Easter moves with the moon (late March to late April), let the calendar of the specific year set the date rather than a fixed week. Take it down within a week or two after the holiday: egg-and-bunny motifs read dated by May, while plain egg-and-tulip designs can simply keep hanging into spring.

Holiday motifs versus botanical season. An Easter wreath carries the holiday vocabulary — speckled eggs, bunny accents, crosses, basket weaves — and speaks for about four weeks a year. A spring wreath is tulips, daisies and greenery with no holiday symbols, appropriate from March through May. The two trade the door in April; designs with eggs but no bunnies bridge both jobs for buyers who want one piece.

Egg accents are wired or glued at the factory and pull-tested before boxing — the same outbound check the rest of the wreath line runs, with glue lines specified invisible at half a meter. The close-up photo on each listing shows how each egg sits on the frame. These are the pieces children touch at eye level, so the build standard matters; if an accent arrives loose, treat it as a return, not a repair.

On the front door, a 20–22 inch wreath suits the standard 36-inch door panel. The other half of Easter decorating happens indoors — mirrors, mantels, windows and entry walls — where 16–18 inch pieces carry the motif without taking over. Every product page lists the measured diameter, and the listing photo shows the single wreath that ships, flat with a tape reference.

One shaped box per wreath, stored dry, upright and cool — pastel finishes and ribbon are the most heat-sensitive in the wreath line, so summer attic heat is the wrong shelf. Stored properly the piece comes back with about five minutes of fluffing. And because Easter moves against the calendar, write the year's date on the box — it saves a search next spring.
