How I Style My Porch Through Fall with One Bow
Share
There’s something about the first hint of crisp air in September that makes me want to run to the porch and start decorating. Pumpkins, mums, lanterns, give me all of it. But the one piece that completely pulls everything together this season? The Orange Gingham Bow.
It’s the kind of decorative bow that instantly makes a statement on your front door, while still feeling timeless and classic. I love how cheerful and bold it looks against my entryway, and because it’s a gingham bow, it feels playful enough for September, festive enough for Halloween, and warm enough for Thanksgiving. Here’s how I’ve been styling it month by month and a couple of other holiday bow options you might love too.
September: Fresh and Bright
When September hits, I like to keep things simple and colorful. A big pot of golden mums, a couple of heirloom pumpkins in soft greens and oranges, and that bright orange gingham bow are all it takes to make the porch feel instantly in season. It’s cheerful without being overdone, and it sets such a welcoming tone.
If you’re more into neutrals, the Cream Gingham Bow is a gorgeous alternative. This decorative bow pairs so nicely with white pumpkins and natural textures like wicker baskets or cornstalks.

October: Spooky but Chic
October is when I like to go a little whimsical with my porch. I add a spooky black tree wrapped in a candy corn garland, hang a few flying bats from its branches, and surround it all with plenty of pumpkins. The Orange Gingham Bow adds just the right pop of color it’s playful enough to fit the Halloween theme, but still polished enough to keep things looking chic.
Of course, if you want to lean more into bold Halloween vibes, the Black Gingham Bow is perfect. This darker holiday bow makes a statement and pairs beautifully with a porch full of spooky accents. Need more inspiration? Take a peek at our post on stylizing your porch for Halloween.

November: Cozy and Thankful
Once Halloween is over, I shift into harvest mode. Think plaid blankets draped over chairs, bundles of wheat, or soft candlelight in lanterns. The Orange Gingham Bow feels especially at home here it ties into the colors of fall feasts and Thanksgiving gatherings so effortlessly.
That said, the Cream Gingham Bow is a great option too. It brings a softer, neutral touch that works beautifully with cozy, rustic styling proof that even a single decorative bow can transform the porch for the season.For even more ideas on sprucing up your entryway, don’t miss our list of the dos and don’ts of curb appeal.

Why I Keep Coming Back to Orange
No matter how I style the rest of the porch, the Orange Gingham Bow always works. It’s cheerful in September, festive in October, and warm in November. And while I love swapping in cream or black gingham, this one holiday bow could easily carry me through the entire fall season and that’s exactly why it’s my favorite.
