Looking for fall decor ideas that don’t use traditional colors? Let me show you my green and white fall decor. My fall mantel has a botanical theme decor with a slight coastal fall touch. I love this green and white color scheme for fall decorating. I think the natural fall decor look is so soothing and fresh.

Mantel Decorating in Green and White

I’ve got some Botanical Fall mantel decoration love going on over here. Yes, it is amazing, it is still September, and I have my fall mantel ready. Yes, still September, and I am already transitioning from early fall to late summer decor. I know that most of you have been there for weeks already, but I am glad to not lag behind with my fall decor this time around. I tried something different, something a bit daring, maybe. I went with a fall mantel in green and white and with a botanical theme inspired by a vintage book I scored a while ago. And that is how I ended up with green and white fall decor.

Ok, without further ado, here she is:

As you can see, I went for a light and natural color palette this time. Lots of greens, blues, whites, and a hint of brown. And still a light touch of the nautical. I fell in love with this light color palette for fall. I really don’t feel like bringing in the darker, moodier colors this year.

I found this great grower of pumpkins in my childhood hometown. They had a lovely selection and for a steal. I love being able to buy directly from the growers instead of going through a ‘garden’ center. Quality and price are so much better when you cut out the middleman. So I splurged and bought lots of goodies without even knowing what I‘d do with them.

And then it sort of happened. Without a plan, I started to replace the summer shells in this old wooden box with the smallest pumpkins and gherkins. I don’t think I even planned to keep them in there. I just wanted to have a container for them until I figured out what my plan was.

And then I never made a plan….

Those ‘fruits’ looked so good together that I kept them that way. Then I realized my ‘theme’ was born. Because I was really digging these greens and whites together.

But there was something missing. It was a bit bare.

So after sleeping on it for a night, I thought about this:

Botanical Themed Fall Mantel Idea

The empty frame used to hang in my craft room. And the book with the botanical prints was one of my first flea market finds after I had started blogging. I had never forgotten it, but neither had I found a use for it until now.

Torn out pages, some masking tape to stick them on the wall, and that empty frame. Super easy botanical wall decor that can be changed in seconds.

The perfect botanical style backdrop for my fall mantel in white and green.

Those sea glass floating balls were my gift to myself this summer. I thought their colors really matched the greenish/blue pumpkin. So they got a place too.

And I never removed the driftwood garland. It does such a good job of hiding an ugly pipe in that corner.

Add in some candlelight, and you will have lovely green and white fall decor with a botanical theme.

I really love using green as a central fall color. It works very well in a little green fall arrangement too. And sometimes you can go completely the opposite way of traditional Fall colors and go all white with fall and that works too. But to prove that I can handle some color with fall, check out my farmhouse fall mantel.

Yeah, I can live with that…..

So what’d think? Digging the colors? Do you miss orange or brown? What’s your ‘theme’ for fall this year?

      I never even knew what heirloom pumpkins are, but I am sure glad I used them ;-). Looking forward to seeing your mantel, is it on your blog yet?

  2. Lovely! Green and white are so perfect together. The botanical prints are awesome!

    1. Marianne@Songbird says:

      Yes aren’t they! I have had that bundle with the prints forever, can’t think why I never used it before.

    I’m lovin’ your soft fall colors. They really are the colors of the earth (taupe and green) and blue gray for the overcast fall sky.

    1. Marianne@Songbird says:

      Yep! Fall is so much more than brown, yellow and orange. I am looking at a grey sky with a blue undertone as we speak. Thanks for the mantel love!

  4. Girl, you KNOW I’m sooooo loving the glass floats in your mantel! Beautiful combination with the heirloom pumpkins. 😉

    1. Marianne@Songbird says:

      LOL I know! I was totally surprised myself to see them work that well as a combination to my pumpkins.

  5. I love it. I’m not much of a fan of orange and brown anyway. Your mantel is light and pretty.
