Wreaths or Swag

Wreaths or swags are possibly the most common elements that are used to décor the front door during autumn. What you have to take care is if the front door wreath is complementing to the design and color of your porch and entryway. Traditional harvest, autumn foliages, artificial or natural fruits and flowers, peacock feathers, acorns, pinecones, etc. are common materials used for making such wreaths. You can either buy or custom-make such a wreath and hang on your front door.

Instead of wreaths, you can go for buckets full of fall flowers too. Attach a hook to your door and hang one or two rustic-style bucket filled with fall blooms like small sized flowers and red-colored berries. Swag wreaths offer a gorgeous way to display rustic elements like this Autumn Wreath Swag are nice additions to welcome guests. Visit our fall wreaths on How to Make a Burlap Wreath!

This garland and pumpkins will bring an early Halloween feel into your porch.

Make Decorative Fall Decor with Fall Greenery

Take an old washtub or a planter of the similar size and fill it with typical fall plants like holly leaves, wheat stems, berries, sunflowers, and fir branches. Besides being a way of celebrating the natural diversities of autumn, it can be an excellent décor piece for your front porch. This colorful combination of fall greenery can be placed on your front steps or porch.

Urn or Topiary

Add drama to your front entrance by placing an urn or topiary filled with fall harvest or greenery on your porch. Take pumpkins or gourds of different sizes and colors and create the topiary by placing one above another on a planter. Keep them on place by using wooden skewers.

On the other hand, a decorative urn can also work as a pretty accent piece to the front porch. Fill the urn with small pumpkins, gourds, lotus pods, artificial leaves, berries, and squash. Before putting these things inside the urn, fill its inside with a mound made of foam pieces. Cover the mound’s surface with Spanish moss. Use green pins to keep everything attached to each other.

Many people welcome fall as the most enjoyable time of the year because of two big celebrations – Halloween and Thanksgiving. You can use these ideas for celebrating the autumn season and these occasions.
