An Autumn Welcome on the Porch is all about the Curb Appeal and the extra gesture like a seasonal drink.

When entertaining an easy way to add a special touch is to have a signature drink.
You can also serve the drink right as people arrive in the entryway or right on the front porch.
I recently had parents and kids over for Homecoming photos and had a punch available to enjoy while outside taking pictures.
Fall Punch Refresher
When the weather is warm enough to still enjoy time outdoors having a drink waiting for guests as they arrive is a special gesture.
In the Summer I’ve had a cooler full of beverages for people to grab or a tray of lemonade.
This Fall I’ve done an apple cider punch in one of my vintage punch bowls.
It’s so super simple and tastes so good. It’s a combination of just two ingredients: apple cider and ginger ale.
Then I garnish with apple slices, cranberries and cinnamon sticks.
I keep all my clear punch cups and snack tray cups together so set out the mis matched cups by the bowl.
When I bought the bowl it was missing a ladle, but it was easy to find a replacement.
This one is actually plastic from The Dollar Tree.

Fall Cut Flowers
Cutting florals from my garden in the Fall is just as much fun as in the Summer.
There are so many seasonal blooms that still have great color to make an arrangement with.
Hydrangeas are amazing because they dry so beautifully too so last all season long.
I loved the two tone green these hydrangeas made with this new to me green minnow bucket.
I love my Fall wreaths so much that I often am stopped in my tracks to appreciate the beauty of the colors on my doors.
A trio of the same wreath hang, one on the front door, one on the garage door and one on the guest door.
The consistency of the wreaths is so calming and pleasing to my eyes, even though I don’t see them all in one viewpoint.
Honey, our Great Pyrenees loves to sit right here by the front door and be the greeter.
Her breed is known for being herders and watch dogs and she is fully that.
She loves to know who is coming and who is going.
I picked up my wreaths at Walmart. Here are some other beautiful wreaths I’ve found you can shop from my Amazon Storefront HERE.
Enjoy your Fall! I hope it’s full of special moments with family and friends.
