For the last couple of years I have struggled a little bit with how to decorate our porch for Christmas. It either turns out too cheesy or just not what I had envisioned. I decided to go with something completely different this year and do a simple Christmas Porch with Fresh Greens. And pretty much JUST fresh greens! I really love the classic and elegant look of simple greens on the porch and often wonder if I love it so much, why not try it myself? So here we are trying something new this year!
Today, also kicked off my Christmas Porch Hop that I have hosted for a few years. So be sure to scroll through the post to see the other 10 Christmas Porches.
Christmas Porch With Fresh Greens
Christmas Planters With Fresh Greens
I used the same black planters that I had up here throughout the fall (and many other seasons, I just love them) and created my own Christmas planters. I snagged up a few bushels of mixed greens from the grocery store and just started to play! Then, I added these birch logs and simple red berries I picked up from the craft store to give it some more texture. I think it could probably use a little more red somewhere in here but I’m happy with the classic and elegant look out here!
Hanging Greens on Door
This year I opted for a bunch of hanging greens tied up with a bow versus the traditional wreath. I loved the more modern plate charger wreath I made a few weeks ago, but it just didn’t work out here.
Winter Porch Decor
Now if only there was snow covering the porch and greens, then this look would be complete!
Now check out all the beautiful porches below…
