Better late than never, right? Today I’m sharing our fall front window box, and honestly I was hoping to have this up on the blog a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, we got a below average cold spell right after I bought some plants and I just couldn’t plant them only to have them die a night later.
Then, because I waited, some the mums I bought started looking a little tired, and not the prettiest, so I switched gears and used some wicker, light up pumpkins as my focal point instead. I’m not sad about it, because they look amazing!
When I was pulling out all of my summer plants, I decided to leave in the ivy. It’s mainly dried at this point, but it still looks really pretty spilling over the front and sides. I also used some flowering kale, a small wispy grass and mini wicker pumpkins…
The arrangement is simple, but lovely and I’m looking forward to it lasting a little while.
I was going to fill the window box with several real pumpkins, but it seems like all the pumpkins that aren’t bright orange in our area are a little expensive and not worth the cost for how long they’ll last. I’m looking forward to using these wicker pumpkins in different settings, and I love that they light up. I found them at Hobby Lobby, and they were 40% off! I’ve linked a similar option below though.
I know I say it all the time, but simplicity is such a lovely thing. I loved how the light was coming through the windows and highlighting this sweet little spot of our home.
The texture of the wicker pumpkins plays so nicely with the cornstalks from our front porch. It just lovely. You can take a tour of porch here.
And I still stand by the fact that adding this window box to the front of our home was one of the best decisions. It’s such a charming and welcoming little spot, and I enjoy being able to see it from the inside of our home as well.
Next week, I’ll be sharing a fun addition I added to the porch for Halloween. If you look closely at the picture above, you’ll see a little sneak peek. 🙂 I’ve never really decorated for Halloween before, and I had so much fun with this cute addition! More next week!
I hope you enjoyed this simple fall front window box display!

the window box looks fantastic. i heard you on the orange pumpkins. i had to bring mine in the house bc of the freezing temperatures. where do you get the kale cabbages? they really add texture and color to the wicker pumpkins which i also love! have a great weekend! (be back at 9 to check on the pillow, so excited!)
Thank you so very much! I found the flowering kale at Home Depot. It’s the perfect pairing with the wicker pumpkins. 🙂
Beauty is in simplicity for sure and your front window box is proof of this. I also really like how the light falls over the pumpkins. And I’m glad you left the ivy, it adds a unique charm and magic to the whole scenery. Thank you for sharing!
