There's a particular kind of excitement that shows up every year around this time — the first hint that fall is on its way, even while it's still technically summer. If you like to be ready before the rush hits (rather than scrambling once everyone else has the same idea), now's the perfect time to start thinking about your wreath. And this year, there's a lovely new direction worth knowing about before you shop.
A softer palette joins the classics
Right alongside the rich oranges, rusts, and browns you already know and love, this year's fall decor is also embracing something a little softer — sage green, cream, dusty blush, and warm neutrals, layered together for a calmer, more collected look. It's not a replacement for the classics, just another beautiful way to bring the season in, depending on the mood you're going for this year. If you've always leaned traditional, this might be a fun one to try for a secondary door or an indoor spot.
Our Autumn Whisper is a nice place to start if this softer direction catches your eye.
Greenery is leading the way
Another shift worth knowing about: this year's wreaths are leaning more foliage-forward, with layered greenery doing a lot of the visual work and florals showing up as subtle accents rather than the main event. It's a fresher, more natural-feeling look, and it happens to be an easy one to get right with faux materials, since the layered texture holds its shape beautifully all season long without any watering or wilting to think about. It's a look that feels effortless because, once it's up, it genuinely is.
Pieces that carry you all the way to winter
If you like to get the most out of what you hang on your door, keep an eye out for pieces built with elements that work for more than just fall — think pinecones, dried berries, and warm neutral tones that transition naturally from autumn right into the holiday season. That means less swapping things out every few weeks, and a wreath that earns its spot a little longer. We'll have a few pieces built exactly with that in mind as the season goes on — keep an eye on the shop.
Whether you're sticking with the classic look you love or curious to try something a little softer this year, there's no need to wait until the calendar officially says "fall" to start getting ready. Take a look through the shop whenever the mood strikes — getting ahead of the season means you'll have your favorite picked out long before everyone else is just starting to look.
