As summer fades and the crisp air of autumn ushers in a season of change, our homes yearn for a touch of the vibrant hues and textures that paint the landscape. Somehow, the inclusion of rustic fall wreaths in your home, especially patio decor, elevates the overall look of the space.
Including earthy tones paired with natural materials helps elevate the otherwise plain and simple look of the space you live in. As you embrace the fall season, it’s time to welcome warm tones into the theme and aesthetics around your home; rustic fall wreaths do that job quite well.
To give you a head start and idea, we will explore the world of beautiful rustic fall wreaths and their unique design and appeal.
Top 10 Rustic Fall Wreaths Decor Ideas
With so many unique and natural fall elements lying around your home, it makes sense for you to need clarification. Should you go all-natural or try to prioritize budget over extravaganza? The questions are diverse.
We have sorted out a few categories of rustic fall wreaths to ensure that there’s something for everyone’s interests and budget.
Embracing Natural Elements
1. Hydrangea and Floral Wreaths
When discussing stunning wreaths made of natural elements, nothing beats the combination of Hydrangea and flowers. It’s rustic and blends in with any fall aesthetic, and the blooms add a fresh floral aroma around. You need a base and chicken wire to make the overall wreath sturdy and durable, so keep that in mind when making the purchases. If your luck has it and you can find hydrangeas for free from someone’s garden, making this wreath is pretty much free.
2. Seasonal Bloom Wreath
As you enter the fall season, you get a glimpse into the beauty of the seasonal blooms around you. The bright hues of brown and orange fill the place, and why shouldn’t you embrace them as well? Dried ferns, bittersweet berries, dried yarrow, and foraged grass, all tied together with florist wire surely make for a fantastic seasonal wreath that screams fall aesthetics.
3. Wheat Wreath
This one might be surprising, but if you have access to a farm or know where you can get your hands on dried wheat, they make for a wondrous “all-natural” fall-inspired wreath for your home. The light brown, golden hue makes this a pretty alluring addition to your front door, uplifting the look of the patio. You need a craft ring and hot glue to get everything in place.
Affordability as a Priority
4. Dollar Store Floral Arrangement
Only some have the budget to splurge on seasonal blooms and dried leaves for decorating their front door and patio with a rustic wreath. In that case, your best bet would be to rely on Dollar Store to get all the basics sorted. There are a variety of dried flowers and plastic florals that you can design into a wreath and hang up on your front door.
5. Floral Basket Wreath
This one, in particular, is more than just an affordable but sustainable option. A lined basket is a staple found in every home, and if you have a garden where you grow flower trees, it’s the perfect opportunity to harvest. Arrange all the flowers of your choice in one place, including leaves and grass, as a binder and filler. You can hook the flower basket in front of your patio or the side of the steps, too.
6. Fall Pine Cone Wreath
If you are lucky to stay somewhere with pine cones littering the streets, it is time to go foraging. These are nature’s abundance; all you have to do is pick them up from the ground, arrange them into a wreath design, and you are all set. You need crafting essentials like wires and hot glue to keep them in place.
Getting Crafty and DIY Extravaganza
7. Dried Branches and Leaves with Paper Flowers
For individuals with some time to spare, crafting your own wreath from scratch is an experience you simply can’t forego. You do have to source good-quality dried branches and leaves and make the paper flowers from scratch. Once you have the elements with you, start with a round base, arrange them as per your liking, and then get to wrapping and gluing them in place.
8. Felt Leaf and Dried Twigs Wreath
Sometimes, blending natural and artificial materials into a fall wreath makes perfect decoration. You don’t have to do much but get some fall-colored felt sheets. Cut them into leaf designs of different sizes and lay them flat before you. Colors that make for the best option for this include yellow, orange, purple, blue, etc. Start with the dried twigs and grapevine and bend and curve them to form the shape and base of the wreath. Once you have secured the base, stick all the felt leaves on top.
9. Extravagant Floral Wreath
There’s nothing like “too many flowers” when it comes to your fall wreath to decorate your patio. If you are making the wreath yourself, there’s always an option for you to go out of your way and add every flower known to humanity. The key is to have a cohesive theme going on. You don’t want to add clash flowers and make the wreath look unorganized. Adding fall-colored flowers like sunflowers, aster, sedum, violas, sweet alyssum, etc., is a great option.
10. Book Leaves Fall Wreath
This one is hands down the most unique and crafty fall wreath ideas for you to implement. However, you’d have to sacrifice a few pages from one of the books you own. But, before you create, go to a park near you and pick up a bag full of dried maple leaves off the ground. Cut your book’s pages into the shape of the leaf, but slightly smaller. Paste it onto the leaf with some glue, then arrange it into a wreath. You can use dried twigs and grass as the base for some support and to make the wreath look bigger.
Conclusion
Adding fall-inspired wreaths to your home is probably one of the best decisions you will make this season. It’s a fun and creative way to lift the look of your home without having to spend a lot of money. If you have the resources and craftiness at your disposal, creating one from scratch is even more of a fun experiment than buying these rustic charms from the stores around you.
