A Church of England judge at the institution's Consistory Court has ruled wreath holders can be displayed at St Mary's Church in Tutbury.
Stephen Eyre QC was quoted by the Telegraph as saying: "I am satisfied that it is appropriate for the wreaths to remain in the vicinity of the memorial for an extended period."
"This means that the introduction of wreath holders is a proper measure in the process of improving and restoring the memorial."
The church had met opposition from the conversation group Historic England which told The Telegraph the wreath holders were "overly functional in appearance and of insufficient artistic merit".
Meanwhile, Tutbury Parish Council told the newspaper was concerned "of how these wreath holders will deteriorate and interfere with the view of the church.
"It is the Parish Council who has a responsibility to ensure that the closed churchyard remains safe for all to use and would not want young people congregating or climbing on this structure."
Making his ruling, Stephen Eyre QC went on to say: "The wreath holders may very well not be of the high artistic quality which would result from commissioning a top flight designer and saying to such a designer that money is no object.
"They are nonetheless of an appropriate standard."
