There’s something magical about the way the light changes in Louisiana during the spring. As we trade our St. Patrick's green for the softer hues of the season, I wanted my front entrance to bridge that gap between our beloved St. Patty's traditions and the fresh hope of Easter.
The Floral Crown: A Mardi Gras Remix
If you know me, you know my love for Mardi Gras flowers runs deep. Instead of packing them away for next year, I decided to give them a seasonal "glow-up." By focusing on a palette of crisp whites, soft pinks, and vibrant greens, these blooms took on a whole new life.
The secret to a "grand welcome" is all in the texture. By mixing different sizes and shapes, the arrangement above the door feels architectural and lush rather than flat. And for that whimsical Easter touch? I tucked a mossy rabbit right into the center of a giant bloom. It’s a little hidden surprise that brings a smile to everyone who walks through the door.
The Details: Boxwood & Gold
Moving down to eye level, I kept the foundation classic with a lush boxwood wreath. But as we know, the magic is in the accessories:
The Wreath Sash: I am absolutely obsessed with this sash! It’s a curated mix of spring-colored ribbons that adds movement and softness.
The Source: For my local friends (and those who shop online!), this gorgeous ribbon was a find from Red Onion in Baton Rouge. They always have the perfect curated pieces to elevate a DIY project.
The Gilded Touch: To tie it all together, a gold-gilded rabbit sits nestled in the sash, adding a bit of sophistication and reflecting that beautiful morning sun.
Design Tip: Don't be afraid to reuse your high-quality decor pieces across different holidays. A change in color palette or the addition of a small thematic element (like a mossy bunny!) can completely transform your look.
Welcome Home
This entrance feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s a nod to our local culture while fully embracing the bright, blooming season ahead. Whether you’re stopping by for Easter brunch or just passing through the neighborhood, I hope this decor offers a "grand welcome" to spring!
An Easter Doorway, y'all!
