It’s feeling like Summer with the temps in the 100s already. Wow! That means it is a perfect time to have a Welcome Home Summer Tour with Balsam Hill, right?
I am lucky enough to be partnering with several bloggers for the Welcome Home Summer tour. I guarantee you will be motivated and inspired to prepare your home with Summer decor after this week.
The tour started yesterday and will last all week long.
My Summer decor inspiration started when I received a 26″ Balsam Hill Mountain Meadow Wreath. Oh my, don’t you love it when you hear the doorbell ring and you KNOW what it is?
I could hardly wait to hang it up. I was excited to make it a focal point in our living room. Fabulous, don’t you think?
Look at the details. The wreath looks real, doesn’t it? And, it even lights up!
Did I mention that this is technically a Christmas wreath? The quality is pristine and perfect. There are yellow, gold and red berries, and touches of pearl white berries, as well. The Noble Fir needles adorned with refreshing natural elements, including pine cones, eucalyptus, and cypress are a beautiful sight any time of year.
For a Summery feel to this already stunning wreath, I added some cuttings from a Butterfly bush from right outside of our door. Can you see the highest of quality in the wreath details? Each wreath is crafted to ensure quality and longevity.
I used the Butterfly bush cuttings in other areas of our home as well.
Going for a light Summer feel in our home, I used a vintage crocheted table cloth as a throw. I like the airy look rather than a heavy looking throw for the Summer months.
Shells are a must for my Summer decor. They remind me of the beach, my favorite place.
I really like this view and how the Mountain Meadow Wreath stands out no matter where you are in the room.
BUT, once the Butterfly bush cuttings dried out, I still wanted a Summery feel in our home.
It is as easy as 1,2,3 to make your own pennant.
A few Summer colors with a Christmas wreath? I think it looks very attractive. The colors in the pennant help highlight the berries, don’t you think?
It has been a pleasure to work with Balsam Hill.
Thanks for joining the Welcome Home Summer Tour with Balsam Hill.

Your wreath is beautiful, Meegan, and I love how you summer-ed it up! Fabulous!
dagmardobert says
Hi Meegan, Such a clever idea to add the butterfly bush cuttings and then use them to tie in. Thank you for showcasing the wreath so well and the other foliage beside the fir. The darling penant was a great way to bring in some color after the cuttings had run their course. The penants picked up the color tones in the bird print above which is delightful. Great job!
Heather says
Love that wreath and all of your beautiful summer decorating!!
