As the calendar flips over to November a lot of people’s thoughts turn to Christmas. I will always savor the sweet lull between Halloween and December 1. At our house the business of football begins to wind down and we can truly sit back and enjoy fall before all Christmas breaks loose the day after Thanksgiving.
My friend Emily requested a fall wreath for her front porch. She has a gorgeous dark wood front door, so I selected orange and yellow blooms to stand out. Magnolia leaves are always so pretty, so those were included as well. It looked fine on my weathered fence (first picture) and it looked okay at close range on Emily’s front door (second picture), but it just didn’t pop when looking at it from the street. Thankfully I found some faux Lunaria with a pearly-silvery finish that did the trick (final picture)!
If you want a little splurge for your holiday this year, I’d love to help you with a faux or real arrangement for Thanksgiving or Christmas!
