Door Wreaths - Answers to Your Questions

What size arrangement should you get for your door?
And how high should it hang?

What size should the wreath be? It depends on the look you want.Some will like the look of the 22" inch wreath on the 34" door on the left. Others will like the impact of the larger 28" wreath on the same door. One has a more reserved look while the other dominates. I like them both, and will be glad to make a size that appeals to you.

Another factor is how high to hang your wreath. This can vary depending on the size of the wreath. The wreath to the right is hung about 5" higher than the wreath on the left. Being larger, it needed the added height. Factors like the shadow on the upper part of this door can also have an influence. I suggest getting a helper and experimenting. One of you should stand back and view the wreath from a distance while the other changes the position of the wreath.

These two pictures are of the same 24" wreath hung at different heights. Can you tell the difference? Which do you like best? Which of the three wreath sizes do you like best on this 34" door?

Exposure
Please do understand this. This exposure is not the ideal. Full sun, rain, snow and wind will take its toll. For this kind of exposure, I suggest air dried material with neutral colors or painted (which can look natural if done right) and lots of texture, like the one in the upper left or the ones on Custom pages 8&9. Entrances that are more protected are no problem.

Attaching Wreaths and Swags to a Metal Door

Another question is how to attach a wreath to a door. Of course you can use a wreath hanger. If you do, get a metal one, not plastic, as the plastic can break and drop the wreath. Some do not like the look of the hanger "coming out of" the top of the wreath, and use a nail or a screw in the door itself.

If you have a metal door like mine and don't mind piercing it, this is what I did to get a sturdy hanger. I drove a 16 penney nail through the outer metal - then removed the nail and inserted a large headed sheet metal screw that had the threaded part just slightly larger in diameter than the nail hole in the door. The nail makes a channel for the screw that holds it really well. Paint the screw the same color as your door and it hardly shows.

My floral designs are built for maximum visual impact and longevity, with every leaf, flower, vine or berry carefully chosen, preserved and placed to give you nothing but the highest of quality in floral wall decor.

If for any reason you are not satisfied, with a dried flower arrangement from Everlasting Life Decor, simply return it for a full refund or replacement. I want you to be satisfied you have the finest of handmade dried flower wreaths and swags.
