A Transitional Fall Front Porch

With the slow changing of the seasons, a transitional Fall front porch seemed fitting. 

This post is sponsored by Joann. All styling, thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. If I start decorating for Fall, do you think it will arrive any quicker? One can only hope right? I am so excited to partner up with Joann and share some fun decorating ideas in the next few months. Since it’s still blistering hot here in Atlanta, I decided to create a transitional Fall front porch. 

Before I started blogging, I made hair pins. And before I made hair pins, I sewed all sorts of stuff. And before I started sewing, I was an avid scrapbooker. I probably crawled out of my mother’s womb crafting something. 😀 All that to say, I’m pretty familiar with my way around a Joann store.

I thought decorating a transitional Fall front porch was a good idea as to not make all my neighbors think I’ve become a complete whacko with pumpkins all over the place. First of all, who am I kidding? They already know I’m a whacko especially when my Christmas trees come out the day after Halloween. Ha! The joys of blogging! 

Anyways, back to my transitional Fall front porch, I was really excited to change up the scenery on my front porch since I hadn’t touched it in a while. Joann always carries really  beautiful seasonal decor and their Fall line this year does not disappoint! 

I had the idea to create a large, organic and neutral wreath on my front door. I was digging the rose colored faux stems and knew they would be perfect for my wreath. Here’s how to create your own transitional wreath. 

Transitional Wreath Supplies

• large grapevine wreath
• assortment of Fall florals
• greenery like these eucalyptus
• floral wire
• Hudson seasonal dish towel
• twill tape or ribbon

Instructions

1. Start by placing the eucalyptus on one side of the wreath. Trim the stems before working them into the wreath. Weave the stem in between the grapevines. Use floral wire to attach the greenery to the wreath.
2. Add greenery to the other side and repeat step 1. 
3. Fill in with some of the contrasting stems like these rose colored ones. 
4. Make it fuller with some more greenery and add flocked ball stems.
5. Play with it until you’re happy with it and tie the hand towel with a piece of twill tape or ribbon.
6. Hang it up and enjoy your simple and gorgeous masterpiece!

I’m really pleased with how this turned out. Instead of using a large ribbon, I decided to use a seasonal dish towel from Joann. It adds a nice warm touch to the large wreath. 

Joann carries a large assortment of baskets and they look perfect holding my ferns. You can also find some textured floor mats and I layered them on top of this hello mat.

Thank you for reading and I hope this inspires you to create your own simple organic wreath. Thanks to Joann for helping me create a beautiful transitional porch that’s perfect for Fall. 

xoxo,
