Pumpkins and Chrysanthemums
This classic way to decorate for fall is as simple as creating a grouping of pumpkins or gourds and a basket or planter of chrysanthemums.
You can use real pumpkins and gourds, or buy faux ones that you can use year after year. Mums can be found easily at your local garden or hardware store.
Porch Leaf Garlands and Wreaths
You can also opt for draping a seasonal garland around your doorframe, along your eaves or perhaps the handrail of your steps.
Leaf garlands can also be converted to wreaths, or you can opt for a traditional wreath or door hanging. Click on any of the garlands below for more info!
Hay Bales and Cornstalks
Hay bales can be arranged any way you like near your porch or front door, and accented with baskets of flowers and pumpkins. Find hay bales at your local feed stores or order online here.
