If your idea of fall decorating involves a few beautiful touches rather than turning your front porch into a pumpkin patch, I’m right there with you. You want the cozy, welcoming feeling of the season without covering every available surface in orange, plaid and faux leaves. And thankfully, you don’t have to.
A good wreath offers a lot when it comes to seasonal decorating. Hang one on your front door and your entryway feels ready for crisp mornings, changing leaves and all those amazing fall days ahead. The trick is choosing one that feels distinctly autumnal without looking overly themed.

Rustic Magnolia Wreath, $119.99 at Harry & David

This is why it’s really magnolia leaves’ time to shine. With their deep green color and warm, earthy undersides, they bring plenty of fall character while still looking elegant and natural. Harry & David’s Rustic Magnolia Wreath is the perfect example. The wreath, which measures 20 inches in diameter, is designed with fresh magnolia, seeded eucalyptus, dried quince slices, statice, artemisia and tallow berries. This combo works beautifully because magnolia leaves play nicely with just about everything.
Unlike artificial wreaths, this fresh piece is naturally fragrant, which adds another inviting touch to your front porch.

Harry & David might not be the first retailer to come to mind when you’re thinking about seasonal decorations—but it should be because it has a great variety, including a matching six-foot-long magnolia garland to complement this wreath. I also loved it styled alongside Harry & David’s Glass Pumpkin LED Lights on a credenza as a bit of indoor autumnal decor that adds an ambient glow. Note that while there are two glass pumpkin LED lights shown in the photo below, they actually come as a set of three for $99.99.

Shoppers are absolutely smitten with the Rustic Magnolia Wreath, and thrilled with how quickly it arrived at their door … to put on their door.
“Absolutely beautiful and arrived quickly,” says a customer in their online review.
Another person commented on the lovely scent.
“This wreath smells so good and is absolutely gorgeous,” they wrote.
Harry & David recommends hanging this wreath in a sheltered outdoor area, away from direct sunlight. And while you can give the piece a quick dust occasionally, it advises against misting because water could actually cause damage.
