Okay…I readily admit that fall is my favorite season of the year. The blend of warm, summer-like days and cool, crisp evenings creates the perfect atmosphere, capturing the best from spring and summer all at once.
Seems like fall brings on the best festivals, delicious foods, and family holidays.It’s time to bring out those fall and Thanksgiving decorations that transform your home into a cozy, inviting space.
Set the mood with these unique decorative uses for garlands, wreaths, and rings that will create a warm and festive feel for your holiday gatherings.
Porch/Entry
Welcome guests by creating a beautifully decorated front porch. Adding a wreath in fall’s muted colors or the vibrant reds, golds, and oranges will catch guests’ eyes and warm their heart.
Fill a natural woven basket with pampas grass, sorghum grass, and pepper berry or fountain grass, then add in a variety of pumpkins of all sizes, colors, and materials both in the basket and beside it. A beaded garland adds an extra touch.
Finish off the porch with draped garlands around the door or pillars. Our foam berry garland or faux lace maple leaf garlands will look spectacular adorning your doorway.
Foyer
The welcome doesn’t end as your guests step through your doorway. Create a welcoming wall display using baskets and a wreath, or simply incorporate them as decor in the entryway or over the sideboard.
For a beautiful table top arrangement, weave our fall maple leaf garland or faux berry garland through a wood and metal decor piece. You could add a ring inside a hurricane glass or in a teak wood bowl atop your tables, then add candles to create a warm glow for those long nights.
Also stunning, and so simple to create, is to lay garland inside trays and dough bowls, then weave in seasonal items such as natural faux grass stems, orbs, and a variety of pumpkins.
Staircases
Create a stunning staircase display featuring draped garlands of eucalyptus or fall flowers intertwined with seasonal flowers. Depending on your decorating style, you can keep the color neutral with pops of color through use of berries and mums or fill the room with the warming colors of autumn.
For a unique look, use fall colored flowers, grasses, cascading leaves added to the staircase. Then add twinkling fairy lights, and intertwine pumpkins, gourds, and berries into the garland and along the steps.
Living Room
Use our fall maple leaf garlands to frame doorways and outline arches, creating a grand, eye-catching entrance. For added drama, drape garlands like crepe paper from ceilings or light fixtures.
Tables
Garlands and rings are excellent additions to your tablescapes and centerpieces. For this example, begin by adding a eucalyptus garland in a tray then add in vases filled with fall hydrangeas, a burnt gold ceramic pumpkin, candlestick with candle, and a burnt orange pumpkin shaped candle. Beautiful.
Set the table with the unexpected by using rings as a plate and charger decorations, placing your bowls inside them.
You can hang smaller wreaths from your chair backs using beautiful ribbons either with or without chair covers.
Kitchen
Using garlands, wreaths, and rings in your seasonal and everyday decorating enhances the warm and cozy feeling to your home. They come in a variety of styles and colors, so will fit all interior decor styles. They are also versatile, you can use them in many traditional and unique ways, allowing for your own personal expression and creativity.
