Fall Wreath Time! (My New Wreath: Texture vs Color)

Fall Wreath Time! (My New Wreath: Texture vs Color)

6 Sep

This post was most recently updated on September 22nd, 2019

So I’ve been using the same DIY Fall wreath for years.  I made it at least 10 years ago, and every year, I perk it up a little by adding something new.  Last year it was burlap. I still like it a lot, but this Fall, I had the itch to make something entirely new.  Since my usual Fall wreath is full of color, I decided to go a different route.  That way, I can switch them up from year to year for a different look.

.

Here’s last year-and-every-year-before-that’s wreath, full of colorful leaves and fruit…

And, here’s this year’s Fall wreath!

It lacks all that traditional Fall color, but makes up for it in natural texture from the grapevine, dried leaves, and a variety of burlap ribbons. The glittery sunflowers add a bit of fun.

I’m a huge fan of sunflowers, so when I found this fun twist on them at Michaels, I knew I had to have them.  I mean, seriously, burlap + sparkles in a SUNFLOWER? Um, I’m thinking this might be how sunflowers look in heaven.

I’ll be adding some other Fall decor to the front porch in the coming days or week, which I’ll share when it all comes together!  With 3 small kiddos, my seasonal decorating adventures have to happen in stages these days.  Gone are the days when I could spend hours on the front porch playing around with boxes of potential decor.  If it’s gonna happen at all, it has to be in baby steps!

.

Have you hung a Fall wreath yet? Do you decorate your front porch for Fall? Tell me all about it!

Have a fun weekend.

    I love the new wreath! The older one is beautiful as well. The new one invokes a deep calm breath. A more simplistic view of the season.

    For fall I bring out the Friendship candles, scarecrows, corn, cornstalks, pumpkins, and haystacks. I have a small area in front of my front door. I live to place the pumpkins under the plants and under the straw. I place my scarecrows inside my pine trees. I tie back cornstalk io each side of the door and place more pumpkins and haystacks to the side of each haystack.
    I tie the corn ( about 7) to each other and add an autumn color ribbon for added color onto the storm door. It hangs like a doorknob and visitors do knock on the door with the corn! The Friendship candles are placed around the windows and are on timers. I love to decorate!

    They’re both beautiful, but I think I’m going to try the one in ‘earth tones’ … I have a fall-colored one for my back door (and, no, it’s not up yet … not willing to let go of summer just yet, altho I love fall in New England!) Great ideas … great site … Thanks!!

    I’d like to think sunflowers look that way in Heaven too! :O)

    Now that the paint is dry in the living room, I can finally start to think in terms of decoration. DH thinks he might want to build an entertainment center (he’s already built me a counter in the kitchen and a desk for his office). Maybe by Halloween I can get up to decorating speed. So far, I’ve put up a painting my mother had made for me one Christmas of her home town in Switzerland.

Instagram post 2193057585968325615_180915959 Just a closer look at how I used ribbon to accent the greenery on this mantel. Adding ribbon is a great way to make a fireplace mantel look a little more formal. But simple, unadorned, classic greenery on a mantel is also one if my favourite looks. So, basically? I pretty much love everything when it comes to Christmas decorating! 🤣🙌🏻🌲
Instagram post 2193032552130763057_180915959 Right now, I am in a long line doing what I swore I’d never do: shop for Christmas decor in December 😂. On a Friday no less. And, I can see sparkles reflecting from my nose when I look down lol. Tis the season! This was my mantel from a couple of years back, and it was FILLED with greenery and ribbon. I posted an article on the blog last week about the two different ways I like to hang greenery on a mantel. This year, I hung it as s swag instead. Hoping to grab a pic to share today. Have a happy Friday!
Instagram post 2192497929072543504_180915959 This Christmas tree from a few years back is still one if my favourites. I loved the navy blue accents and the little metal pails of snowballs. This year, I decorated this same tree with creams, grey plaid ribbon, and deep olive green. I’ll post some pics soon 🌲. It’s actually pretty easy to change up your tree’s colour scheme from time to time by simply changing your ribbon, and adding just a few new decorations. Everything else stays the same. Oh, and in other news, tomorrow is Friday 🙌🏻 .
Instagram post 2191657248950793864_180915959 This was a year ago New Year’s Day. ⛸⛸ Hoping for enough snow and cold temps between now and Christmas for the pond next to our cottage to freeze. Btw, this is the ONLY time of year I pray for snow 🤣. On the east coast of 🇨🇦 we get lots. So it it gets old really quickly. But, there’s something pretty magical about skating on a frozen lake during the Christmas season. Bring it on! #lakelife
Instagram post 2190941932742417369_180915959 Not all holiday wreathes need to be green, #amiright? I used a rope hoop here with some red striped ribbon, and I love the simple nautical vibe. Are your halls decked? #lakehouseliving #cabinchristmas
Instagram post 2190158222023476781_180915959 Happy Monday! So, have you been shopping all weekend? I’ll admit, I usually dive into Black Friday with giddy excitement, but, by the time Cyber Monday comes around, I’m all shopped out. But, I’m happy to say I finished the decorating in both houses, and I am ready to take on December with 🔔 🔔 on. Just have some decorating left to do outside, but it’s too cold today. #brrrr
Instagram post 2189276529016204735_180915959 Happy December! Hope you have a very merry Sunday. ⛄️
Instagram post 2188604836614546691_180915959 Sadly, the blue sky didn’t last long. We’re back to rain, drizzle and fog (#RDF) around here. We finally had our first sprinkling of snow yesterday, but, total bummer, the rain melted it before any ⛄️ could be built. 👎🏻 Are you in a festive spirit yet? Black Friday either sparks it or zaps it, lol. Enjoy your weekend!
Instagram post 2188076707747849989_180915959 Wondering how to put ribbon on your Christmas tree so it looks beautiful, full and cascading? My easy, step by step method has been used by many blog readers over the years, and I’ve received great feedback on the tutorial and the results. I’ve linked it up in my bio. Swipe through to see some of my trees with ribbon over the past few years. Happy decorating!
