Autumn Cottage Style Porch Vignette

September 10, 2024 by Kimberly Snyder 25 Comments

Designing a seasonal vignette with white pumpkins & mums is an easy way to enhance your Autumn Porch Decor!

You don’t have to be an interior designer to create beautiful outdoor spaces. In fact, there are many ways to add seasonal charm and style to your front entryway.  Designing a vignette with white pumpkins & white mums is one way to add a cottage feel to your Autumn porch decor!

Let me show you how!

Autumn Cottage Style Porch Decor

Create a welcoming entrance with a cottage style chair

If you’re looking for ideas for how to decorate your front porch, you are in the right place!  Today I am sharing how I styled the neutral Autumn vignette pictured above.

The front porch is often the first impression visitors receive when entering your home. It should reflect your personality and style, so consider how you’d like to welcome guests into your space.  My personal style , “Kim  Style” incompasses several different decorating styles.  I describe “Kim” Style as a unique blend of shabby chic, primitive, cottage , farmhouse, garden style, & industrial with a splash of coastal!

This particular vignette leans more to Cottage Style.

Every great vignette needs an anchor point!  I used this cute wooden chair as my anchor point.

While I love the shabby chic style, this was a little too rustic even for me!  I decided to give the chair a fresh coat of paint with some chalk paint.

While the paint was drying, I gathered the rest of the elements for my vignette.

Neutral Autumn Cottage Style Elements

Nothing says Autumn more than pumpkins and mums!  Since I wanted to keep this vignette neutral, I decided to go with white pumpkins and white mums.   I picked out two large white mums and three of the white pumpkins.

I also grabbed about a dozen of the little white Boo pumpkins.  I planned to use them in several different spots.   I love how cute they are and how long they last!

In addition to the mums and the pumpkins, I found some ribbon and a few red berries.  I am really liking how a pop of red makes the vignette feel more festive!  I used berries like these:

Let’s Put The Vignette Together

One mum is placed on the chair along with one of the larger white pumpkins.  I sprinkled a few acorns around the base of the pumpkin.

I tied a simple shoestring bow around the stem of the white Boo pumpkin.  I added a few more white Boo pumpkins to the elements on the seat of the chair.  A stem of the red berries is tucked into the pumpkins.

Another white pumpkin is added to the chair seat.

The second mum is placed on the floor of the porch along the last larger white pumpkin.  More Boo pumpkins, acorns and striped gourds are added to the vignette.

    This is so pretty Kimberly. I love baby boo pumpkins too.

    I don’t use mums anymore. In NJ they don’t do well in my opinion.

    I gravitate to flowering kale.

    Love this so much. Pinned!

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
