Remembrance wreaths hung respectfully and securely on your door, gate, or fence. I ensure proper fixing that won't damage your property and will withstand November weather.
A Respectful Display, Properly Done
A remembrance wreath deserves to be displayed with care - hung securely, positioned properly, and treated with the respect it represents.
I'll hang your wreath where you want it, using proper fixings that won't damage your door or paintwork, and make sure it's secure enough to last through November weather.
💡 Pro tip: For outdoor wreaths, position them slightly sheltered from driving rain if possible - they'll keep their appearance longer.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to hang your own remembrance wreath? Here's how:
🔧 What you'll need
- Over-door wreath hanger (most common method)
- OR removable adhesive hooks (Command brand work well)
- OR outdoor wire/ribbon for gates
- Spirit level (optional but helpful)
🚪 For doors
- Clean the back of your door where the hanger will sit
- Hook the wreath hanger over the top of the door
- Adjust until the wreath hangs centrally
- Check it doesn't interfere with door closing
🌳 For gates or fences
- Use outdoor-grade wire or strong ribbon
- Tie at multiple points so weight is distributed
- Tuck wire ends away neatly
- Check it's not catching on the gate mechanism
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Using indoor hooks outdoors (they fail in damp)
- Hanging too high or too low (should be roughly eye level)
- Not checking the door still closes properly
- Putting a heavy wreath on a flimsy hanger
💡 Pro trick: For UPVC doors that have less depth at the top, use a hanger with a longer hook. For wooden doors, a standard hanger is fine.
🌧️ Weather protection
- Position wreaths slightly sheltered if possible
- Real wreaths will deteriorate in heavy rain - that's normal
- Check fixings after windy weather
- Bring inside during storms if practical
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🌺 Removal service included: If you book me to hang your wreath, I'll come back and remove it after Remembrance Sunday at no extra charge - just mention it when booking.
Multiple wreaths? Some people have one for the front door and one for the garden gate. I can do both in one visit.
Exeter's older doors? Victorian and Edwardian doors often have decorative panels or unusual shapes. I've got various hanger types to suit different door styles.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you hang a wreath without damaging the door?
I use a proper wreath hanger that hooks over the top of the door - no screws, no nails, no damage. For heavier wreaths or windy spots, I can use removable adhesive hooks instead.
Can you hang it on a gate or fence instead of a door?
Absolutely. Some people prefer their remembrance wreath on the front gate or garden fence. I'll attach it securely with wire or proper outdoor fixings that won't rust or stain.
Do I need to buy the wreath first?
Yes - you choose the wreath (local florist, supermarket, or charity shop), and I'll hang it for you. Real or artificial, I can handle either.
Will you take it down after Remembrance Sunday?
I can do - some people keep theirs up through November, others prefer them taken down after the 11th. Just let me know what you'd like when booking.
What if it's a really heavy or large wreath?
I'll make sure it's supported properly - sometimes that means a bracket rather than just a hook. The last thing anyone wants is their remembrance wreath falling off and getting damaged.
