Halloween Porch Decor Meets Fall Florals and Quirky Vintage Style

To add a little extra charm to this Halloween porch decor, I styled a few more fun details around the skeleton couple, including a surprise bouquet of orange and white roses from 1-800-Flowers. The flowers were stamped with tiny “Boo” messages and friendly ghosts, making them the perfect seasonal addition to our porch table scene. The purple vase brought in just the right pop of color, and paired beautifully with the pumpkins, thermos, and cozy flannel styling.
