I've always steered clear of faux flowers – but since spotting Joanna Gaines' fall wreaths, I'm obsessed

I'll always have a soft spot for summer flowers, but there's something magical about golden-hued fall flora and fauna – think rust colored leaves, deep red and ochre blooms and sprays of wispy grasses.

For me, the season simply doesn't start until I've brought my outdoor fall decor ideas to life with a standout wreath. But in reality, finding a fresh one that will last (or finding time to make your own) isn't always practical.

I've always been loathe to go for faux wreaths as I rarely feel that they boast that freshly-foraged look, but Joanna Gaines' new fall wreaths from Hearth and Hand with Magnolia has changed that, with some gorgeous faux wreaths that you wouldn't know weren't real.

Plenty of my fall decor ideas have emerged from Joanna Gaines' fall collection at Target but when it comes to faux flowers, I'll admit that I have high expectations: I'm looking for a wreath that's sturdy and durable and yet impressively realistic. Wreaths are ideal for transitional decorating, whether you hang them on your door or above your mantelpiece.

As well as faux wreaths, which include different styles and colors to suit your preferred palette, the Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection also features some delicate and realistic stems to boost your bouquets. Here's my pick of Joanna Gaines' fall wreaths from a honey-colored eucalyptus wreath, which brings to mind the gently-turning foliage, to a more striking deep plum foliage version and a golden dried flower wreath.

Simple and elegant

Rusted Eucalyptus Wreath

I'm often on the lookout for more neutral fall decor ideas, and this wonderful wreath will provide the perfect seasonal touch to any doorway or mantel.

Harvest feel

Preserved Golden Yarrow Fall Wreath

I've been obsessed with rich yellow tones since I spotted Magnolia's harvest hosting edit at Target, and this wreath is certainly an ode to the harvest season.

Striking shade

Black Plum Leaf Fall Wreath

This wreath feels bold and yet understated; it's ideal for both fall and Thanksgiving. (It could even serve as a subtle Halloween decor idea, too.)
