To get started, you’ll need a grapevine wreath. Amazon something similar that you could buy if you don’t already own one. Click here to view it. Pictured below is a grapevine wreath I’ve had for almost three years that I’ve decorated every season!

You could consider making your own grapevine wreath. Here is a tutorial I found that might be helpful. I’ve yet to try making my own wreath, but when I do I’ll be sure to post it! Do not use hot glue or any other form of adhesive on the wreath when decorating it, so that you can re-use the wreath each season.

I saw some amazing faux flowers at the dollar store this year. You’ll need only a few stems in a neutral color palette to make this wreath. Creams, browns, and touches of gold. In the dollar store, you may not see these flowers right away. Look among all the colorful blooms to pick the neutral-colored flowers. I selected five stems to create this wreath. Each of the stems had multiple flowers or leaves.

Start by adding the darkest color to the center of the wreath. The brown sunflowers are eye-catching and unusual which makes it a great focal point. This has four flowers to one stem.

Tuck the stems behind the wreath to secure it. You can secure it with floral wire if you feel it’s needed but I didn’t. I like to do things quickly and the flowers felt pretty secure without the wire.

Place the lighter flowers next to the darker flowers for contrast. Two stems on either side, create balance. Keep tucking in the stems behind the wreath similar to the picture above. Since we are only using five stems you can do this really quickly!

Finally, add in the leaves to complete the look. The neutral coloring on this wreath is really pretty! No one would suspect that these are flowers from the dollar store.

This is a perfect wreath for your front door. I hung a watercolor sign with similar coloring from the dollar store with it and it looks just perfect!


Hang a watercolor sign first and layer the wreath on top to complete the look.
