How To : Simple Fall Foliage Wreath

November 6, 2013 · 1 Comment

IMG_9084I was pretty lucky to have amazing weather last week during my week off from work, where I spent a lot of time walking outside with the pups.  One of the things I enjoy about my apartment complex is the grass and fresh flowers, but as I walked past the bushes near the pool, I couldn’t help but become inspired by the simple fall colors in the greens and berries, and soft, slightly ethereal feel of the fern to make a wreath for our front door. Considering the weather, it’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away, which is why I thought our apartment could use some holiday dressing up. IMG_9030You’ll Need:

– A few stems of fall greens + berries of your choice

– Two long leafy green branches

– Scissors

– Floral Wire

– Floral Tape

– Wire Cutters

– Ribbon IMG_9082PicMonkey CollageBend the stems back and forth a bit, so that they are pliable enough to be bent into a circle. Secure both branch ends together with the floral wire, then twist the other ends to close the circle, securing with the wire.  I took small stems of colored leaves and placed them on each side, securing with the wire. It’s a trial and error process, I played around with it for a bit before I got the look I enjoyed.IMG_9109

PicMonkey CollageFor the gathered bunch wreath, hold stems upside down and place a stem of berries between two leafy steams {preferably ones that are long and full}. Wrap floral wire tightly around bunch to secure, cut with wire cutter and tuck sharp edge in. Wrap ribbon around the wire twice , then loop it from the bottom {leafy end} to the top {ends of stems}, cut end to length depending on how much of an overhang you’d like. I decided to fray my edges, for an even simpler effect. IMG_9087The downfall about this wreath is eventually the greens wilt, and lose their vivid fall color, but that’s why I love using real plants for decor. You are always bringing something new and fresh into your home.

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
