Saint Lucia Wreath (RETIRED)

Reading all reviews I've been on the fence buying this wreath... I'm now, looking into making one myself and I appreciate that you mentioned the number of candles it should have. I don't know enough about this tradition.

Could you please give me the diameter of the entire wreath? Though some reviewers said it's a bit too large/sticking out too much on Kirsten head; it would help me figure out which wreath size to buy. I found out the inner diameter in the "make your own" sub-forum. But the poster doesn't give the entire diameter of the wreath, only it's circumference which doesn't help me.

I've seen some boxwood artificial wreaths and though the leaves are different it could still work out. 'tis the season, so I'm hopeful in finding something suitable in Hobby Lobby, Joann or Michael's on my next trip to the big city 😉

Thanks for your help 😊
