Fall Decor : Pumpkins, Flowers and Baby Breath
There was this little, white shabby chic wooden wagon sitting in the entrance to my Hobby Lobby that I kept passing every time I went to the store. I would think, “You sure are cute, but I don’t really need a wagon and where would I keep you when I’m not using you anyway?” But, I’m so glad I finally decided to bring him home. It’s been almost two years and he’s been seen around our house at Valentine’s Day and Easter, and now for the Fall decor on our front porch.
It could be all the Fixer Upper I’ve been watching lately (don’t you just love that show and those people?!), but I’m more and more drawn to rustic elements lately.
For this little white wagon, I started by putting in a shoebox for height, then covering it with hay I had left over from previous Fall decorating escapades. A daddy, mama and baby pumpkin came next along with a few faux apples to fill in the gaps. Fresh flowers and sprigs of baby breath add life to the wagon. Although our weather is cooling, we’re still seeing highs in the 80s, so these flowers seem appropriate here.
When I worked in a flower shop in high school, we kept single stem flowers alive in plastic test tubes filled with water and a rubber lid with a slit, so if you wanted to ensure your live flowers don’t die, you could add those here and bury the tubes down into the hay. Of course, faux flowers and baby breath would be cute too and hassle free.
I brought my flowers and baby breath inside to keep them alive and love the natural look of using an old sun-dried tomato jar and vanilla jar as vases. Again, the rustic influence is coming through in leaving the label on the jar.
I love these Fall months!

It was a good buy….totally love the way you arranged it! Perfect for fall while still sweet and pretty. The apples are a great touch!
I absolutely LOVE how you decorated for fall in the cart. It is so unique, peaceful, and just beautiful!
Megan! This is so darling. I am glad you took that wagon home. And such gorgeous photos.
So dang cute!! Now I'm going to be looking at that stuff at HL differently…one might need to come home with me! And love the flowers in misc jars…I love to use tomato cans from the mexican food aisle. xoxo Happy week!
I think that wagon was just waiting to come home with you! You styled it beautifully for Fall Megan.
Oooh, love this wagon! I just purchased a much smaller wagon and had fun decorating it this fall. I didn't even think about using it for other holidays such as V-Day or Easter! hmm! I really love that you used fresh flowers, too! So beautiful!
This wagon is great! And I love the way you decorated it! So fresh and perfect for fall!

Love the babies breath mixed in with the pumpkins. I would have never thought of that but love the look!
Love the wagon and how you decorated it! Thanks for sharing your fall decor tips! 🙂 I've always wondered how to make things look magazine beautiful!
Cute ideas! I especially love the flowers in empty spice jars. So glad we're getting a touch of fall weather here in Texas–and we can just pretend it's fall when it's 90 degrees outside, can't we?
Love your little wagon…it looks so pretty for fall!
Beautiful autumn decor! I really like this idea. Happy Wednesday, Megan 🙂
