Different lengths for wreath holders?

18 years ago

Forgive my ignorance, but I've never bought a door wreath holder before. I've just always thought there was one size, fits all as far as length. I ask now because I bought 2 for wreaths I plan on putting on our doors at our new house. DH saw the holders and declared they were too short. I, not wanting to be guilty of a wrong purchase, quickly said, I'll just add something to extend the length. LOL

So now I need to know are there different lengths in door wreath holders? Our doors are 8ft. tall and he's thinking the standard ones I bought were too short and the wreaths would sit too high. Thanks so much or your responses on this.

Gosh, I thought they were mostly the same size. Or maybe I just always have bought the same size, LOL. Are your wreaths big ones? If so, I'd thinnk the standard size would be fine on your tall doors.

That was going to be my next question. Is there are "rule" on how big a wreath should be depending on the size of the door. I don't want to get anything too large or too small. Should it be like 1/4 the size or something?

I know this is pathetic not knowing about wreaths. The fact is I've always had storm doors in front of my main door so I never bothered hanging a wreath on the door. Now I have these huge doors and I want to hang wreaths on them, since I can, and don't know what size or where to place them. Here are the doors. I'm sure I could figure it out by trial and error, but if I could get some pointers it sure would make it a lot easier. My thanks once again for your help.

I have no idea if there's a formula for the size, but I'd find ones that DIDN'T touch the wood.
If you have any cardboard left over from your move to the new house, cut out a couple of donuts the potential size of your wreaths and stick them up there.

Also, check out IMAGES on Google. I typed "double door wreaths" and the URL below was the first picture to come up. I bet you'll find a lot more too. (I find the wreaths in the piecture to be a bit on the small side, but that's why pictures are so handy. You're sure to find something that fits your taste. Maybe they had to be small because of all that ribbon.)

Which brings me to my next suggestion. If your husband is not satisfied with the placement of the wreaths using your new hangers, why not use wide ribbon?

Good luck, OA

Check that: Instead of "didn't touch the wood," I think I mean "not overlap the wood very much."

I think all the ones that I've ever bought were the same length, but I like OA's suggestion of using the wide ribbon. Your doors are beautiful! I've always wanted double doors...maybe one day. lol

OT, I wanted to thank you for the suggestions for my living room. I've printed everything out, but haven't had a chance to get started in the room yet. I'm going to try washing the walls before I hit my husband up for repainting.
