Hello cherubs,
We are cracking on with these Autumn posts, aren't we?
The gorgeous autumn new build.
And now the big reveal!
All gearing up for the
Fall In Love link party
on Wednesday 5th October.
What will you link up?
I usually save my wreath-making for Christmas
but I've really enjoyed putting together a simpler version for Autumn.
I purposefully didn't tell you the names of the plants I've used because I wanted you not to feel fixed in your choices. You may well not have the plants I have in my garden, or in your local hedgerows. But I bet that somewhere near you, there are gorgeous plants for the taking.
All you truly need to add to your base for a simple wreath like this
is a layer of greenery and a layer of berrification.
The excellent thing about 'real' wreaths is that as bits droop (as they will), you can just replace them. If leaves gradually brown, you can pull them off.
It's the only way to keep them looking fresh and beautiful.
I love the deep red of the berries, rubily shiny and plumptious.
Now then, the weather here is simply crying out for a bit of an Autumn outfit....I'll be sharing one of my favourites on Friday.
I'm linking to my favourite parties, including:
thats very pretty.. simple is always the best..
ReplyDeleteI adore your door knocker too~!
Sarah, your door is so lovely and welcoming. I like simple things, and I love anything with red berries!
ReplyDeleteHow much do I love your front door? I'm going out on Friday in search of a little berryfication myself..
ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty, Sarah! I love your front door ♥
ReplyDeleteThat's just gorgeous, Sarah, with its pops of colour. I am so intrigued by the whole northern hemisphere wreath idea - in Australia, we occasionally hang them for Christmas. That's it. J x
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, and so simple. Love using want you found in the yard. I want your door knocker!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Front door is now officially installed-stairs leading to it would be welcome.
ReplyDeleteIs that your front door, Sarah? Ooh, love it, especially the door knocker!
ReplyDeletePerfect spot for the wreath!
Looking forward to seeing your Autumn outfit :)
best,
Duni
your wreath is gorgeous, Sarah! I love using natural elements to decorate with. your door knocker is pretty neat too!!!
ReplyDeleteSimply perfect...I love fresh wreaths so much. They add so much warmth to your home!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I have never make a wreath before. Everyone else makes it seem intimidating, but you make it look like something I might actually be able to do!
ReplyDeleteSarah, it's so pretty, and the photos are awesome. Very inviting door too. I have the same plant just outside my front door and have never thought of making a wreath from it. Can't wait to see your Fall Fashions. xxx tami
ReplyDeleteJust lovely - I also love your very grown up front door, ours is a 1970's double glazed horror, that I can hardly bear to look at. Perhaps if I make a VERY large wreath I can cover most of it.
ReplyDeleteYour door is as lovely as the wreath. I love simple wreaths! Hooray for Fall!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty wreath hanging on a very pretty door! ;)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your wreath is SO pretty! Simple yet elegant. Did you just pin it to a form? I'd love to make one {with my two thumbs, of course!}
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Gorgeous! Your door is also gorgeous. Is it painted white? Or is it a super light crisp aqua? Mmm I love paint colors that are almost-not-there.
ReplyDeleteThe wreath is divine, Sarah BUT I want your entire front door, pretty please LOL! Seriously the wreath look perfect on your cottage door.
ReplyDeleteHappy Autumn!! :O)
Nice wreath!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Mari

Sarah, I've just noticed that your commenting link says "No lurking allowed."
ReplyDeleteI must confess. I've been lurking. I've read your blog many times, and I've been a follower for awhile, but I don't think I've left many comments. I aim to change that bad habit.
Your wreath looks lovely, and I very much appreciated your step-by-step instructions in your previous post as well. I love your idea for a "Fall in Love" party!
Reading your writing is such a pleasure. I am a confirmed Anglophile, so it's a treat to get a glimpse into your life in the U.K. And I deeply admire your use of the language.
All the best!
Sarah, your wreath is exquisite! You make the most gorgeous wreathes I've ever seen. I remember one from last year and it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour door looks so welcoming. It invites everyone to come in and enjoy spending time with you.
Beautiful.
So pretty, Sarah . . . just like you.
ReplyDeleteFondly,
Glenda
Gorgeous, simple gorgeous and I love the door knocker!
ReplyDeleteThe wreath, with lovely red berries, is beautiful...and so is your door.:)
ReplyDeleteWell, this looks awesome! Yesterday, I went for a walk with my youngest daughter through the forest and we saw almost the same berries. Only the leafs are different (ours weren't so round). Now that I see your wreath, I know I have to go back and take a few with me ;) Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful...love it!

Beautiful simple living. Someone told me once that if I would just put my live wreaths in the shower for a drink once a week, they would last throughout the season. She was correct! Thank you for sharing your lovely design. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!!!
Fondly,
Pat
So simple and elegant. I love your use of "berrification" as well. :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, what a beautiful wreath. I found and am following you through Bloggeritaville and hope to visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you will follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
