DIY Rustic Luxe Fall Wreath

Rustic Luxe…ever heard of it? Natural elements, with a touch of whimsy or glam layered in. I just love the look.

I think my Fall wreath with it’s natural materials and blue feathers seems pretty Rustic Luxe to me and adds an unexpected elegant twist that will welcome my guests during the Fall season.

I spotted something  similar (without the feathers)  a few weeks ago at a big box store, but wowza at $253.74, no thank you. So I picked up a few items and went home to make my own version, at a 1/4 of the cost. $62.18 to be exact, feathers included.

DIY Rustic Luxe Fall Wreath

The key to creating a Rustic Luxe look on your amazing wreath, is to layer in different items, preferably in odd numbers. I already had the grapevine wreaths and picked up the rest of the items that I used in the floral department of the craft store.

The process:

Begin with 2 grapevine wreaths, one smaller then the other. A trick to make any wreath look fuller and bigger is to layer 2 wreaths together. Secure them with brown floral wire. I love this stuff because it because it completely blends in with the grapevine.

I put together a visual of how I put together my wreath together.  Remember, what ever items you use to construct your wreath, it’s all in the layering of your items.

After securing your wreaths together, start with a base item like the ferns. Use your floral wire to secure them to the wreath.

Begin to layer on some sunflowers and some pumpkins , making sure to space them evenly. Attach the items with floral wire. I don’t use hot glue on my wreaths, so I can reuse them for other seasons.

Use additional seasonal greenery and or other items to create the look you want. Since my wreath was going on the front porch, I added the blue feathers to coordinate with my pillows and cushions.

As I was taking these photos, Skippy slept through the whole big exciting event.

Hmmm…….I wonder what he really thinks about DIY Rustic Luxe fall wreath.
