Re: Fall Decorating ~ When will you start?

I start after Labor Day.  I use red, white and blue from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  I slowly bring in my fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving things after Labor Day.

Re: Fall Decorating ~ When will you start?

@KailaS,  I'm so sorry about your troubles, hope your decorating continues to give you much-needed distraction and joy. 

 

Around the beginning of September, I bring out a cream colored pumpkin, and a white ceramic one-- the theory being, ivory pumpkins are "almost" summery, or sort of "pre-fall", or some kind of rationalization like that...  then I build on that...

I always start the Saturday before Labor Day—I love all my pumpkins and the warm harvest tones! The decorations will stay up until the Saturday before Thanksgiving, when I convert to my Christmas decor. Others always clamor to host Thanksgiving, but I host an "Elf Friday" party at my home the day after where we officially kick off the Christmas season.

Re: Fall Decorating ~ When will you start?

Well , even though it was very hot today I went bought 2 fall garden flags and put them out.
I love summer but like some have said I'm ready.Also I have a Halloween one to put out in Oct. So I need some time with these beauties.
I've not been much of a seasonal decorator but I have been enjoying it this year.
Have a restful night.

Re: Fall Decorating ~ When will you start?

I decorate when I get in the spirit of the season.  I think it will be sooner rather than later.  Fall is my favorite season, so I don't want to miss one day of it.

@Regal Bee   In a few weeks so it will be out for three months, until the day after Thanksgiving, then on to Christmas decor.

Re: Fall Decorating ~ When will you start?

This year I will decorate for Fall starting on September 15.

 

I just went through my Autumn decor and tossed out three decorative pumpkins that had seen better days. Two exterior, one interior.

 

I went to At Home and purchased three new items.  

 

By sticking to the one in/one out method, it keeps me from accumulating too much seasonal decor.
