Fall is coming and here are 6 easy fall planter ideas for your front porch.

As soon as the air gets a little chilly and that first leaf hits the ground, one of my favorite things to do is decorate the front porch. I’ve got some fall inspiration for you with planter box ideas. Each one is so easy, adorable and will add the right touch of fall to your front porch.

And as always, you can click the thumbnail photos under each to shop.

6 easy planter ideas for your fall front porch

1.) Faux mums in wooden barrels – Yes you heard me right, faux mums. I went faux years ago and I’ve never looked back. And wooden barrels make a great fall planter idea. I think this front porch was possibly my favorite with the cornstalks and all the pumpkins!

2.) Galvanized buckets – They’re rustic and not only could you use them for planters, but I also think a giant galvanized tub full of pumpkins would be really cute for fall. I’m showing you how my friend Jen from Tater Tots and Jello decorated her porch. I love the colorful, whimsical vibe don’t you?

3.) Planter boxes with trees -Last year I got these faux maple trees on Amazon and they’ve quickly become a favorite amongst you all! Just place in some traditional black planter boxes for a classic look.

4.) Trash cans – yes you heard me right. You can use trash cans. I got these black plastic waste paper baskets from The Dollar Store and used them as planters for my mums!

5.) Ornamental kale and cabbage in bushel baskets – If you’re looking to add some green and break away from the traditional pumpkins and mums, try some ornamental kale or cabbage. And I’m showing you how to put together this easy pumpkin topiary too! Click here.

6.) Pumpkin topiary in urns – Urns just add a stately aesthetic and I love how my friend Jennifer from Midwest Life and Style used hers as a planter idea for a classic pumpkin topiary. (You can see her whole porch here). I’ve also used urns for boxwood topiaries and even for my cornstalks!

Fall front porch decor that isn’t mums

This post contains affiliate links

One of my favorite things to do in fall is decorate my front porch. I love front walkways filled with pumpkins in various colors, fall florals and greens. This year I decided to do something a little different and use all faux so no rotting pumpkins Scroll down to see this year’s fall front porch decor that isn’t mums. I’ve got a DIY pumpkin topiary and a faux cabbage arrangement.

Tons of fall inspiration

Today I am teaming up with some blogger friends of mine to bring you some more fall inspiration for a Fall Is In The Air Blog Hop. We’ve got tablescapes, mantle decor, fall hutch decor ideas and more ideas for your home so if decor is your thing, you’re going to want to tag along.

Pumpkin Topiary

There’s just something that I love about a pumpkin topiary. I’ve been looking at various ones but for a single stack it’s easily over $100. Perfect example, this one below for over $130.

So I decided to DIY a pumpkin topiary myself. I gathered some pumpkins in different colors and sizes and got to work! I simply just pulled the stems off, added a ring of super glue and stacked each pumpkin on top.

This one topiary cost me about $54 to make, so I got two for still less the price of the one above! And the best part, it’s faux so it won’t rot. I can use year after year.

That’s a smart investment if you ask me 🙂

I’m linking some similar things below so you can recreate it!

Faux Cabbage Arrangement

Ornamental cabbage or kale is so beautiful in baskets on the front porch. I did some real cabbage last year but of course, it didn’t last long. So I decided to search for some faux cabbage. Leave it to Amazon to pull through.

At first when I got these in the mail I wasn’t so sure.

But once you open them and fluff out the leaves it is so lush! And this basket is perfect!

Tip – I put some rocks in the bottom to weigh it down and clipped the bottom of the stem of cabbage so that it fits nicely.

I love the way our house looks in the fall. I personally don’t think you can ever have too many pumpkins or mums. Below I’m sharing some photos of our fall front porch and giving you some tips on how to make your pumpkins last longer.

As always, click the thumbnail photos or links at the bottom of the post to shop.

This year I chose to add lots of heirloom pumpkins in muted tones along the stairs. (Be sure to watch my video below showing you how to make these gems last longer!). I also got traditional cornstalks and placed them in some black urns. (Tip – put some rocks in the bottom of the urn to add weight so they don’t tip over).

Instead of doing a traditional fall wreath, I opted for this door basket from Lauren McBride’s QVC line. I added in some faux flowers and some of my own dried hydrangeas. I love that you can keep this up year ’round and just switch out the flowers with the change of the seasons. This basket is currently unavailable (I’m hoping it comes back soon!!!), but I’ve linked a similar one on Amazon at the end of the post.

Every year I get mums for our front porch and every year they’re dead in two weeks time. This year I switched up my game and got these faux mums from QVC. They are a little more on the expensive side but I look at them as an investment you can use year after year. They come in a variety of colors and are super easy to put together. They always sell out so be sure to get them now!

I had found these solar powered lanterns at Aldi in the beginning of summer. We had them on our back deck but I brought them out front to add a soft glow to our steps. I’m linking a similar set below.

Creating a warm and welcoming front porch and decorating for fall is one of my favorite things. So in the spirit of fall, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite wreaths, and staple fall front door decor from Amazon. I think starting with a basic welcome mat, some faux plants and an eye catching wreath is key and then you can fill in with more pumpkins and gourds as the season goes on.
