The best St. Patrick's Day wreaths, sized for the front door

A shamrock wreath is the first door change of spring. Size against the door, lighting and whether it can stay up after March 17 decide which.

By Sawyer V. · Published

A painted red front door framed by spring greenery

After the Christmas wreath comes down, most front doors stay bare until Easter. A St. Patrick’s Day wreath fills March, and the good ones are green enough to carry on as a spring wreath after the 17th.

Most shamrock wreaths on Amazon are smaller than a standard door wants, so size did most of the ranking here. Five below, one to skip.

How we ranked these

Door fit first, against the two-thirds rule for a 36 in door. Then lighting, then whether the listing sells it for spring as well as March 17.

Share of door is diameter divided by 36 in, our arithmetic. The two-thirds rule puts a standard door's wreath at 24 in, or 67%.

Most shamrock wreaths run small

The arithmetic

  1. Standard front door: 36 in wide
  2. Two-thirds rule: 36 x 2/3 = 24 in
  3. 20 in wreath: 24 - 20 = 4 in short
  4. 14 in wreath: 24 - 14 = 10 in short
  5. A 30 in door: 30 x 2/3 = 20 in

Only one wreath here hits 24 in. The 20 in wreaths are exactly right on a narrower 30 in door, and the 14 in wood wreath belongs on a storm door or an inside door.

Every door width and its wreath size is on the wreath size guide.

A lit door in March

The 22 in LED wreath is the only lit one here, which keeps the door readable after dark the way a Christmas wreath does. At 22 in it is also close to the two-thirds size. The listing does not state how it is powered or whether it has a timer.

After March 17

The arithmetic

  1. Up March 1, holiday March 17: 17 days as a St. Patrick's wreath
  2. Carried on as a spring green wreath to April 30: 61 days
  3. 61 / 17 = 3.6

A wreath that also reads as spring earns its hook for about 3.6 times as long as one that only says St. Patrick's Day. The Chambay is sold as a spring green clover wreath, and green hydrangea wreaths carry on the same way.

When the green comes down, the spring wreaths take over.

Welcome signs

Two of the wreaths, the Egolot and the Chambay, carry a wooden welcome sign. On a small wreath that does two jobs: it adds visual weight, and it reads from the walk. On a 30 in door either one is a complete look.

Why the 14 in wood wreath is the skip

At 39% of a standard door, the idyllic wood wreath disappears on a front door. It is well made — carved wood rather than foam — so hang it on an inside door or a small cottage door instead.

The rest of spring

The next steps are on the spring porch refresh and outdoor Easter decorations. A green garden flag carries the St. Patrick’s color out to the yard.

Questions

What size St. Patrick's Day wreath for a front door?

24 in for a standard 36 in door, by the two-thirds rule. Most shamrock wreaths are 20 in, which suits a 30 in door.

When should a St. Patrick's Day wreath go up?

Any time in early March; the holiday is March 17. A green clover or hydrangea wreath can stay up afterward as a spring wreath.

Are there lighted St. Patrick's Day wreaths?

Yes. The 22 in shamrock and hydrangea wreath here has LED lights; the listing does not state the power source.

Can a St. Patrick's Day wreath go outside?

The 24 in wreath, the Egolot and the idyllic are sold for indoor or outdoor use. Keep any artificial wreath out of all-day sun.
