Spring to Summer Style: A Pretty Door Basket DIY

This spring and summer door basket DIY is filled with soft greenery and white blooms—a simple way to refresh your porch for the warmer months.

The weather is getting warmer, and that means it’s the perfect time to give our front porch a little refresh—and for me, that always starts with a new wreath or door hanger. I love filling our porch pots with colorful blooms throughout the warmer months, so I like to keep our front door decor a bit more neutral to complement whatever color palette I’m using.

I love having a wreath that transitions easily from season to season! This year, I used simple white flowers and lush greenery to create a neutral-based door hanger that easily transitions from spring to summer and coordinates with all the vibrant flowers I’ll be adding to our porch. The pretty green and white looks fresh and vibrant against our blue front door, and I love that I can update the door hanger with seasonal blooms or ribbon as the months go by.

I’m excited to show you how simple it was to create this pretty seasonal door decor!

Add Florist Foam or Base Fillers

Adding florist foam to your container allows you to secure and arrange your flowers and stems as you like. I like to use a soft foam. It can be dry florist foam since you aren’t using fresh flowers with this project.

Use a knife to safely trim the foam to fit the interior of your bucket. Use enough foam to fit snuggly inside so your floral stems and greenery will be secure when inserted.

Arrange the Trailing Greenery

Begin by adding the training greenery to the bucket. I used 3 bunches of trailing greenery from Hobby Lobby.

A hand places a green leafy vine into a tall, woven wicker vase—resembling a spring and summer door flower basket—on a black chair near a window.

Allow the greenery to spill over the bucket down the front and sides.

Add White Flowers for a Fresh Seasonal Look

Add 3 bunches of faux Queen Anne’s Lace to add height to the arrangement. I placed one bunch in the center and the other two on the sides.

I added a couple of hydrangeas blooms to the bucket for a brighter punch of soft green.

Add Smaller Picks of Greenery for Full Look

After adding the white flowers, you might need a little greenery filler for a fuller look. I used these little bunches to fill in any gaps in the arrangement to create a lush green look.

Hang Your Spring-to-Summer Basket on the Door

Now that your door hanger is complete, you’re ready to attach it to your front door.

I often hang a wreath on our front door using an over-the-top door hanger, however this flower bucket needed to hang a little lower on our door.

Our front door has a 3/4 paned window and I used these fantastic adhesive wreath hangers on each side of the center grid to hang this flower bucket.

I tied jute twine to each side of the bucket handle and hung it on the adhesive hooks.
