1. Flocked Greenery. Flocked and frosted faux greens at Christmas looks stunning in this outdoor setting. Chunky planters are filled with flocked greenery, pinecones, and white lights.

The large “Merry” “Christmas” ornaments give the front entry the perfect touch, creating a simple yet elegant front door. Notice the wooden vintage sled flanking the front door, lending a nod to the farmhouse style. (via Balsam Hill)

A trio of large wreaths adorns the front door, while holiday garland accents the trim. The greenery includes lodge pine, Scotch bristle pine, weeping white spruce, Norway spruce, and Eastern cedar, along with seeded eucalyptus and loblolly pine cones. Add some lanterns on your front porch or steps to add ambiance and illuminate the walkway. (via Frontgate)

7. Simple Outdoor Christmas Decorations. For this outdoor space, mostly greenery was used with a few accents thrown in. Faux trees can be used, but these trees are real, in the pots, with the hopes of planting them in the Spring. The trees are set in baskets and planters. If you have a real tree in your home, save the tree clippings to use for decor. These can be set in vases or an urn outside your door. Fresh wreaths and garlands can be found at your local Trader Joes! (via The Merry Thought)
