Shut the front door…and put a wreath on it!
There’s just something about a front door dressed up for fall, isn’t there? The crunch of leaves, a pumpkin or two by the step, and a wreath that says, we love Joanna Gaines’s style.
A wreath isn’t just decoration — it’s a statement. It says, “I have my life together (at least from the porch view).” But really, it’s your way of saying welcome. It tells the world this is a home where people gather, where coffee’s brewing, kids’ shoes pile by the door, and maybe there’s sour dough bread cooling on the counter.
This fall, try a dried flower wreath. We’ve been saving flowers all summer just for this — strawflower, statice, grasses, and all those textures that make fall decorating feel cozy and effortless. Each wreath takes over an hour to make, but they’re worth it — a little piece of summer that stays with you through pumpkin spice season and beyond.
Want to make your own?
Here’s what you’ll need:
A wreath base — grapevine or wire both work great
Floral wire to attach your flowers and greenery
Dried flowers, grasses, or foraged fall goodies (think seed pods, wheat, or even dried herbs)
And most importantly, some good 90s country music — because you can’t rush art, but Garth Brooks sure makes it more fun
If you’d rather skip the mess (and the wire pokes), we’d be happy to make one for you. Each wreath is one-of-a-kind, made with flowers grown right here on our farm — and guaranteed to make your neighbors pause and think, she’s really got it together.
How long will it last?
A dried wreath can last for months — even years — if you keep it out of direct rain and harsh sunlight. It might fade a bit over time, but honestly, that just adds to its rustic charm. If it’s on a covered porch, it’ll stay gorgeous through the season.
As for birds — they might be curious if you’ve got seed heads in the mix, but usually they’re too busy raiding your feeder to bother.
So shut the front door... and put a wreath on it. Because your home deserves to look as welcoming on the outside as it feels on the inside — even if there’s a pile of laundry just inside the door.
