Over the weekend, I finished up our Fall Outdoor Decorating and just had to share with you. The Front Porch turned out so good, as well as the new Fall Painted Shutter, I knew the Window Boxes had to be just as spectacular! And if I do say so myself…they are simply gorgeous!
Even though I loved the Fall Window Boxes that I decorated last year, and kept them similar, this time I added more Fall Mums {and larger}, more pumpkins and gourds and the ivy is different as well.
Fall Window Box Decorations
- Mums – these are from a nearby market, they were 5 for $25 and can be planted in the garden as a perennial
- Pumpkins and Gourds – I love the greenish/gray pumpkin, it’s called Ghirardelli
- Grasses from the yard and local county park
- Ivy from the yard
- PeeGee Hydrangeas from the neighbors yard and green Hydrangeas from our yard
Decorating Tips
- Begin with the largest items first, I added the 3 Mum plants
- Group together items, like the gourds
- Be sure to use different colors, all the colors of Fall blend really well together
- Add some height with tall grasses
- Fill in small openings with grasses, ivy or items from your yard or county park
Along with the Window Boxes, the wooden bench was added with another Mum plant, and an antique toolbox filled with small gourds and mini pumpkins.
The Front of our Home and yard are bursting with beautiful Fall Colors!
I’d love for you to follow my Fall Decorating Pinterest Board for more inspiration!

Your home is absolutely beautiful! I got some purple colored mums this year as well, they really pop with color. Your other “props” are so neat, I love the step stool/ladder with the pumkins, so cute!
What a cute blog, sugar! I love cupcakes and I’m a WM mom also. I love WM actually and hate all the bad publicity it gets from people. The front of your house is adorable. I visit the one before and the one after me on LInky Parties and you’re it today, sweetpea!!! LOL Nice to meet you.

Lovely! The grasses are a wonderful touch. How did you secure them so they won’t fly away in the stiff autumn breezes?
This year was my first to enjoy fall window box decorating. It’s easier and so much fun.
Blessings!!

Hi Diane, our window boxes are pretty protected from the wind {and they still have dirt in them}, so I just poked them down into the box. But you could use a piece of floral foam to secure them if you need to.
Thanks for stopping by!
