Falling for Wreaths

I don’t know how it happened but after I got married and moved away from home one of the first design elements/ DIY projects I became obsessed with was creating a really killer front door wreath.  At the time, I was creating wreaths left and right, for my own front door, for family doors, for every season and holiday.  It’s been a while since I whipped one up but I still love ogling front doors and what people decide to adorn them with. A good wreath can enhance a beautiful door, or hide the flaws of an ugly door, or just happily welcome a new season.  So today I’m sharing some of the best fall wreaths I’ve seen out there lately.  Since it’s the first day in a zillion when it’s under 90 degrees here in Northern Virginia, I feel like it’s finally ok to swap out my summer wreath for the fall wreath on my own door and maybe even make a new one.  Which one would you create this autumn?

The post where I found this one said it could be made from feather dusters, which I think would take forever, but it sure does look great.

I love the addition of purple to these next two wreaths, it’s a little bit unexpected for fall and adds a lot of interest.

This one, with a more traditional autumn color scheme has a wonderful cascading effect.  I might opt for a more rustic looking ribbon since I think this perfect ribbon would look like a mess if exposed to the elements (and by elements I mean wind, rain, and the neighborhood kids yanking on it).

This one with mini pumpkins by  On Sutton Place is adorable.

This simple vertical swag by Stagetecture looks simple but gorgeous, and a phenomenal stone wall doesn’t hurt either.

And finally a few cuties that make the best of raw natural elements and display them perfectly.
