Holiday Front Doors at Duke Manor Farm 

I’m kicking off my holiday decor today with the front doors at Duke Manor Farm and a giveaway for you. It seems only fitting that I begin with the front door since the porch is always the first place that I start with my holiday decor….and the first thing you’ll see when you come to the house. More details on the giveaway later in the post.

How gorgeous are these Bronze Magnolia wreaths from Lynch Creek Farm? I knew the minute I saw them how amazing they would be gracing my doors. What a wonderful way to greet my guests this holiday season.  These are the 26” wreaths.

Quick Wreath Tips

It is almost always a good idea to hang your wreath outside. Because the product is breathing, fresh air will extend the lifespan of the wreath. If you place your wreath inside, it will last about 3 weeks when properly cared for.

Wreaths absorbs moisture through it’s evergreen branch cut ends. To really increase the health and lifespan of your wreath, simply spritz some water onto the branch cut ends every 2-3 days.

In colder climates or Northern states, the wreath will last (6-8 weeks) if properly cared for. Outside they may last as long as through March.

In dry climates or southern states, the wreath will last (4-6 weeks) if properly cared for. Outside they may last as long as through the middle of January.

Climate and direct sunlight drastically affect how long your wreath will last. Hanging your wreath in a cool location with a good amount of shade will help your wreath live longer.

The wreaths are so full of mixed evergreens, pine cones and magnolia stems.  There is also a battery operated lantern in the perfect bronze color that gives off just the right amount of light when turned on.

My wreaths came with a red ribbon that I easily swapped out for something that complemented the color scheme on the porch. Initially I debated whether to replace the ribbon or leave it bare, as it looked equally as gorgeous without a ribbon too.  Speaking of bare, check out last years front doors here when I went au natural.

I also had some fun with the faux snow. You should have seen the faces of the kids when I was throwing this stuff all around…..like mama had lost her mind. But hey, at least I was having fun…and it was snowing, if only pretend.

  1. I had the Lynch Creek Magnolia Wreaths last year and they are truly gorgeous!…I hung them at the beginning of December and after Christmas I hung them on my back porch and they lasted well over 2 months! They are the perfect wreaths for your doors! Love the faux snow! May have to go out and get some too! Gorgeous entry to greet your family and friends during the Holidays!!

    1. I love the WILDLIFE ADVENTURE WREATH! THE COMBINATION OF FRESH GREENERY AND CARDINALS IS A WINNER.
      It will go beautifully with my Lenox “Holiday Greeting” dinnerware which has the different birds. Thank you for this offer and to Lynch Creek Farms!!

    2. It is hard to choose what i love the most from Lynch Creek Farms! I love the “Georgia’s Pail” to add to my front Farmhouse porch. It has such a country feel about it and would look great to my current decorations!

      Merry Christmas,

  3. Laura, I admired those lantern wreaths and they are gorgeous on your handsome front doors! I love your potted trees flanking your steps the addition of your faux snow too. 🙂

  4. I love the addition of the lanterns on those and how fun that they are battery operated. I actually like them without the bows. I can’t use a fresh wreath on our door as the sun will cook it. I wish we weren’t facing the sun. Can’t wait to see more of your Christmas decor.

  6. I love, love, love your beautiful doors! Your choice of the wreaths and trees compliments them perfectly. I would choose the Vintage Glow centerpiece from Lynch Creek.

  7. So happy to find your site! The trees and wreaths provide such simple elegance to your entry. I would love to shake things up at our home with the ” city skyline”.

  8. It was a pleasure joining you in the blog hop with Lynch Creek Farm, Laura! I adore your wreaths!! They look so wonderful, and the ribbon switch is so easy to do, to get a totally custom look. Perfection my friend!

  17. Whether I win or lose this giveaway, I am definitely going to have something from this company gracing my holiday table this year. I don’t think I’ve seen so many gorgeous things in one place in a long time. I absolutely love the wildlife center piece with the Cardinals, it’s perfect for a St. Louis baseball fan like me.

  20. Your front doors are spectacular with nothing on them at all! But you certainly chose right when you got the Bronze magnolia wreaths.

  75. Laura, I laughed out loud when I read about you throwing faux snow with the kiddos thinking that Mama has lost it! I live in sunny Florida and would love to throw “snow” on a beautiful Red Deluxe wreath on my front door. I promise to give it a daily spritzing along with the “snow.” Thank you for sharing the beauty of your home and family and the treasures of Lynn Creek Farms with us.

    I’m loving what I am seeing at Lynch Creek. The wreaths are so pretty, and it’s hard to pick a favorite. I think the Burgundy Deluxe would be a good one with the recent landscaping and painting job we did on our little city home!!

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

    Jane

  103. I love the Winter Radiance wreath it’s beautiful. I am getting my new puppy on December 7th so I have a feeling all of my decorations will be up high this year.

  107. Home for the Holidays Centerpiece.
    It would look so grand and elegant on our table especially this year when the whole family is around to enjoy the holiday and each other. You can almost smell the fragrance of the elements that decorate the centerpiece. It would be an excellent conversation piece as we gather around the table this Christmas.

    Thank you.

    Merry Christmas

  110. I absolutely LOVE the Birch ‘n Burlap centerpiece–it is just stunning! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  112. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a wreath or centerpiece. Making a decision was very difficult but I believe I would like the country sleigh the best.

  116. What gorgeous set of front doors you have Lara and those wreaths are so elegant on them. I love the display of your wreaths and the trees lining the entrance to your home. After seeing the Lynch Creek Bronze Magnolia wreaths on your door I think I would chose it. I love magnolias and their beautiful brown suede on the back. The green & brown are so appealing. I lieve in North East Florida where they would be right at home. Thank you for the chance to win your lovely giveaway. Now I have to go check out your other post. Merry Christmas!

  127. So many pretty choices! I think the Vintage Glow centerpiece with the little red lantern is my favorite.

  128. Your bronze magnolia a wreath is so pretty on those beautiful doors, but I think I would prefer the blended bay for my home. But the variegated English ivy is also lovely. Thanks for sharing this fun giveaway.

  137. Your doors look great with those wreaths. I would love the Wildlife centerpiece if I were to win. Thanks for the chance.

  138. A person could spend a loooooooooog time on that website! However, as soon as I saw the Christmas by the Bay – with Chimney centerpiece I knew what I would wish for.
    Thanks to you and Lynch Creek Farm for the giveaway.
