While the air is still crisp and fall displays are in full bloom, before you know it, shoppers will be on the lookout for ornaments and holiday decorations. For retailers and florists, this in-between space can feel like a whirlwind. The secret to a successful transition is the smooth switch from pumpkin to pines! 

Blend, Don’t Replace!

You don’t have to throw away every pumpkin overnight. Instead, look for decor and gifts that can bridge both seasons. Think: 

• Neutral colored wreaths – They’re easier to update with winter greenery later. Check out Cerridwen’s Forest for handcrafted wreaths! 
• Wood signs – Pairs well with both fall leaves and winter snow. Browse Audrey’s Home and Gift for some classic farmhouse styles!
• Candle holders/metal lanterns – Effortlessly transition from cozy fall weather to bright Christmas nights! Try the CTW Home Collection for the perfect pieces!

FGmarket.com offers a variety of transitional pieces, helping you create a space that evolves as the weather gets colder!

Use Color to Guide Transitions

Fall’s palette is full of oranges, browns, and golds, while the holiday’s palette brings reds, greens, metallics, and whites. To make the shift seem effortless try:

• Gradually begin to introduce cooler tones like sage, cranberry, or ivory. 
• Using metallic accents to bring fall’s warmth into the holiday’s festive style. StyleCraft Home Collection Inc. offers plenty of metal and brass accents to use when the seasons change!
• Rotating the Halloween pieces early, but keeping the textures like burlap and wood that help ground your winter scenes.

Pro tip: When shopping FGmarket, refine your searches by category or feature to help make your search exactly what you’re looking for!

Transitioning Your Inventory

For florists, this means it’s time to move from mums and sunflowers to evergreens and poinsettias. When you begin to adjust for colder seasons, make sure you carry:

• Evergreen, garlands, and wreaths for easy decorating. Vickermans has you covered for holiday greenery!
• Pinecones, berries, and faux snow accents to update existing decor and arrangements. Check out Tremont Floral for high-quality supplies!
• Holiday containers and vases that work both for Thanksgiving centerpieces and Christmas arrangements. Look at Fosters Point for versatile floral supplies.
