Are you a person who always has a wreath on their front door? I am definitely a person who feels that their house is "NAKED" without a wreath on their front door. A wreath says WELCOME to me. Before the summer is totally over I wanted to share with you my summer flowers. Here's the wreath I made for the front door. It was the perfect color to coordinate with my flowers last year.
I added matching floral door cans to match the wreath....
Only problem with the wreath was that I changed my color scheme this year. Are you laughing at me, right now? Are you thinking, "What does she mean by color scheme?" I will admit that sometimes I can be a bit anal. Each year I decide what colors all my flowers are going to be and then I make sure my wreath matches. Well this year one of my "angel friends" secretly dropped off an entire flat of HOT PINK geraniums on my driveway. NO note nothing, just a wonderful gesture of friendship. To this day, I still do not know who did this. Many of my friends read my blog, so I want to say thank you for Blessing me with a true gift of friendship.
Well, since the flowers were hot pink, I decided to go with a inpatiens that were called "Taboo Mix". Next I needed to change up the wreath and add some hot pink and purple flowers.
Here's what I came up with...
I also changed up the door cans to match the wreath.
Now that's better.
The wreath and the potted flowers all coordinate!

Take a look at the "Taboo Mix" Impatiens under the tree....
Here's a tip....
I found this iron basket at Joann fabrics and hung it on the brick wall near the front door. The iron grate is separate. I found this at Home Goods and just attached it to the bricks just above the basket. Before I hung them, I spray painted them with the same color so they matched. I had seen something very similar to this in the Ballards Catalog for $200 a few years ago. I was unwilling to part with $200 bucks and decided to try out this idea.
It looks just as good and only cost me less than $40 dollars.
If you want to see other seasonal wreaths I have created come visit HERE. Well, it's almost time to change the wreath and front porch decor to my fall harvest theme. I'll make sure I share with you as soon as it's complete. But as for now, I'm still enjoying the warm summer weather! I'd love to know if your front door is decorated with a wreath to welcome your guests?
Do your match your flowers to your wreath?
