Fresh cut evergreens are a must for fluffing your outdoor spaces during the holidays.

Drape some fresh garland around your mail box, outdoor bench, lamp post or door. In this picture we secured the garland to the back of the bench with zip ties. Of course we needed a pop of red, so we added red pillows and tied an evergreen sprig and pinecone to them - you could also add a pretty ribbon. You can secure the pillows to the bench with clear fishing line so they don't blow away.

If you have decorative lanterns, put ornaments or pine cones inside of them and add an evergreen sprig, pine cone and ribbon to the top of each lantern.

We like to drape garland around our mailbox and tie in the holiday decor that we use in our planters and wreaths to create a consistent and festive look.

Fresh evergreen wreaths are the perfect welcoming touch for your front door and windows. You can buy inexpensive wreaths everywhere and add your own holiday decor elements to it so it blends with your existing holiday look.

Happy decorating friends!
