For this specific look, I was searching for a simple yet eye-catching wreath. I love the wintry mix of pine branches, pinecones and tallow berries. This wreath was the perfect size — which is essential when selecting the right wreath for your front door. You want something that almost spans the width of the door for a full look.

In order to achieve a layered look, you’ll need to round-up a grouping of tables of varying heights. I ended up using tables and a wooden planter (after turning it upside down) that I already had around the house. You’ll want to ensure that there are a variety of materials as well – such as the ceramic garden stool, wooden planter and antique brass side table that I used.
