Holiday Porch Decorations

One of my favorite things about the holidays is getting to decorate the front porch! I’m a twinkly light and fresh greenery kinda girl and while I won’t be on a 20 foot ladder hanging lights from the rooftop, I still like to do my fair share of decorating for the holidays!

This year I used a lot of ornaments in our outdoor decorations. What can I say, they’re easy and that’s how I roll. 🙂 I picked up some garland from Lowe’s for a little more than $10 for a 20 ft roll. I used it to drape around our front door and hung a few large ornaments that I had in my Christmas decorations already.
I usually get a real wreath for the door, but this year, I just went with the artificial for simplicity. (shh!!) I like the classic look of just a nice green wreath and pretty red ribbon.
Right beside our door, I added some twinkly Christmas trees that light up pretty at night. To hide the cords where all our fun lights are plugged in, I added a couple of “presents”. Hope no one decides to open those!
Our front porch is trimmed in snowflake lights and I hung a couple of large red ornaments between the posts. Here is what those are good for 🙂
Every window has a wreath (except the one in our foyer because I need that same 20 foot ladder I was talking about earlier to reach it!).
 I made these wreaths last year with some dollar store ornaments that I wired onto plain green wreaths with floral wire.

 

Aaaaaaand a couple more easy Christmas decorating ideas just because…
And just for fun, here is a night picture of the porch all lit up in my twinkly lights. 🙂

 

Makes me smile everytime I go out here! How about you? Do you put up outdoor lights for Christmas? What about beyond the front door? I love seeing other’s ideas too!
