Twenty-two inches across the outside, about twelve across the opening. That ratio is the first thing we check on a door wreath, because it tells you how much greenery you're actually getting — here it works out to roughly five inches of foliage all the way around, which is the difference between a wreath that fills a front door and one that perches above the handle. Silk olive leaves, small olives and a few camellia blooms carry the look.
It's the one we recommend first, and range is the reason. Olive green is the most forgiving color in this group: fresh in June, still convincing in August, and not remotely out of place when the mums arrive in September. The camellias give it just enough flower to feel summery without turning it into an arrangement that has to match a porch palette.
Shaping takes minutes. The branches are wired, so you can pull the ring open, bend a stem over a thin patch, and it stays where you put it instead of springing back the way stiff plastic does. It also ships in a storage box, which sounds trivial until you're the person wrapping wreaths in trash bags every November.
Two practical notes: the opening is small enough that a fat seasonal bow will swamp the middle, so a narrow ribbon, or nothing at all, suits it better. And at 8 ounces it hangs from a slim over-door hook or a decent suction cup, which is not true of the heavier wreaths here.
Bottom line: We think this is the summer wreath most front doors want: 22 inches, easy to shape, and neutral enough to leave up into fall.
