How to make a budget friendly subtle fall wreath

Faux florals have come a long way to help ease you into the fall spirit.

When I hear the word “fall” it brings about a certain feeling. I think of cooler weather, changing colors, and of course it leads right into football, Halloween, Thanksgiving… you get the idea. However, the transition from summer to fall can be a subtle one too. This year I decided to pump the brakes a bit on the pumpkins and sort of ease myself into the fall spirit. (After all it’s still in the 90’s here in South Carolina.) The easiest and first place I decided to start was our front door wreath.

I am a sucker for purples, softer blues, and of course white. I wanted something that could last all season well to Christmas. Later in the summer I happened upon these florals from Walmart. First of all I couldn’t believe how good they looked for faux florals and second I was shocked at the price. The Lamb’s Ear was $2 a stem (I needed 8) , the Purple Billy Button 97 cents I used 4), and the Cream Sunflower $3 a bouquet (I used 1 full and a partial bouquet). All in total I had just about $26 in faux floral and used a grapevine wreath I already had.

Easy wreath layering

I started by laying the Lambs Ear down first on either side of the wreath. I wanted a subtle background that would break up against the earth tone of the wreath.

I popped in the Purple Billy Button to add the warm purple tones.

Last, I added the Cream Sunflower to join the two sides together, and that’s it!

I love the way the wreath came together without feeling too in your face fall. It’s a nice subtle transition from my summer wreath and is the perfect beginning to the fall porch that I’ll add to in the coming weeks.

Oh and did you notice, I also changed the front door color… again. I love how all of these colors play off of one another and coordinate with my outdoor pillow from Home Depot.

A subtle transition from summer heading into fall.

Be sure to check later in the week to see the final look of this transitional fall porch.

Best,
Brooke

I am blown away by the support on our announcement I am blown away by the support on our announcement about moving. The number one question I get is “how can you leave, you did so much?!” On the blog I’m taking a walk down memory lane and y’all we did do a lot. But the blood sweat and tears are going to be worth it for the next family.
From early in my relationship with Courtney, we lo From early in my relationship with Courtney, we loved going to open houses and parade of homes. Anything to get ideas and inspiration on what we wanted in our own home. Believe it or not, we’ve moved 10 times. Of those 4 were homes we bought and one of them a home we built. Needless to say when we saw the online photos of our “hopeful” future home plan, we agreed we had at least one more move in us.  What’s something you’re looking for in your next home?

I needed to take a long break after last week to p I needed to take a long break after last week to process all that’s going on. I’m still processing. One of my favorite things to do is take long walks through construction sites surrounded by plumbing and framing.  No lie. This is where we’ve gone multiple evenings over the last couple of weeks. This place has brought us a lot of peace and on the blog I’m spilling the beans on our secret.

The tragic helicopter accident that took Kobe, his daughter, and their friends rocked me in a way I didn’t know it would.  It was clear that y’all loved the bedroom renovations this year and our @wearewoodgrain accent wall was a huge crowd favorite. Kennedy’s diamond pattern wall is one of my most pinned on Pinterest to this day. I’m deep in planning mode for this year and can’t wait to bring more fun content. Hope that everyone had a great night and an even better weekend!!

While this year was filled with so much uncertainty, I was still able to find some light and a more clear vision. (I’ve always said the best lessons come in the valleys of life.) I’ve spent the last few weeks with Court and the girls and I’ve come to some realizations that will change the vision I thought I had for the future. I thank you for being on this journey.  I’m blown away by the people I’ve met online and in person from this community.  The opportunities I’ve been blessed to experience.  I pray that everyone has a safe night and we all wake up tomorrow with hope that the new year will bring more peace.
