Christmas Porch Ideas for a Double Door Entry (2026)

Double front doors are common in Granite Bay, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Rocklin’s Whitney Ranch and many newer Roseville neighborhoods. They make a grand first impression, but they also need decor planned as one wide entry rather than two separate doors. Here are Christmas ideas for a double door entry, and what each costs if you’d like it done for you.

Everything below uses fresh greenery: real cut wreaths, garland and live plants. Our porches don’t include lights.

The short version

• Hang matching wreaths, one on each door, at the same height.
• Frame the whole opening with one continuous run of garland, not each door separately.
• Balance the width with a pair of urns or planters, one on each side.
• Use bows and ribbon that suit your door color and finish.
• Keep both doors working: nothing should block the second door or the latch.

1. Matching wreaths on each door

The classic double door look is two matching fresh wreaths with matching bows, hung at the same height and centered on each door. Two identical wreaths read as one design, while two different ones look accidental. For most standard double doors, 24″ wreaths fit well, and taller 8 ft doors can take a little more. Our front door wreath size guide explains how to measure.

2. Frame the whole opening

Garland should run up one side, across the top and down the other side of the full double opening, so the two doors feel like one entry. A double opening usually needs more garland than a single door, often 25-30 ft once the sidelights or transom are included. Each package lists its garland length, and extra 10 ft lengths of fresh garland are $125.

3. Balance the width with urns

A wide entry can look sparse with only wreaths. A pair of urns or planters of fresh greens, pinecones and matching bows, one on each side, fills out the width and frames the doors. Welcome Porch ($599, most popular) includes door garland, a wreath, an urn pair and velvet bows; ask about a second matching wreath for the other door ($95).

4. Sidelights and transom windows

Many double entries have glass sidelights or an arched transom. Keep garland along the outer frame so the glass stays clear and light still comes into the entry. A small swag centered above the doors can echo the arch without covering the window.

5. Choose ribbon to suit the doors

Dark stained wood looks warm with cream, burgundy or deep green velvet. Black or navy doors pop with crisp white, plaid or gold-toned ribbon. Painted doors in bold colors usually look best with simple natural greens and a neutral bow. Tell us your door color when you book and we’ll match the bows. For more pairings, see our Christmas ribbon and bow color guide.

6. Keep both doors working

Wreaths should hang from the top of each door with non-damaging hangers so both doors still open fully. Urns sit clear of the swing and the latch, and nothing blocks the walkway for guests or deliveries. In HOA communities, everything stays on your entry; see our tips for HOA and gated communities.

7. Add steps and height for a grand entry

If your double doors sit at the top of a few steps or under a tall portico, live mini trees on the steps and a fuller garland add height to match. Merry & Bright ($899) suits homes with steps and adds two live mini trees, poinsettias and a second wreath or swag. Grand Celebration ($1,299+) is built for the largest entries. For very tall entries, see our ideas for a two-story or tall entry.
