Fall is my favorite time of year. Apples, pumpkins, and multi-colored leaves can all be incorporated into your garden décor. Orange is a major color consideration for planters on my doorstep because gourds and other festive decorations will be arranged around the planters. This gallery features a lot of planter ideas that will look great this fall.
I love the seventh option on this list. It features a bright orange pumpkin that is being used as the actual planter, and the flowers growing inside have gorgeous orange and yellow blooms that are perfect for the Halloween and fall season.
If you are looking for a larger arrangement, then the fifth option is perfect for a large garden. It is designed using the base of a fountain, but any statue or garden bench that you have in your garden will look lovely with this style. Play with the colors red, orange, and yellow to find flowers, pumpkins, and gourds that work well together. The cattails in this idea are not something that I would typically use in my garden, but they are placed in the perfect location to tie everything together perfectly.
The fourth idea on the list is also a great one. Using a large basket as a planter is the perfect idea to incorporate fall décor into your garden. In addition, if the frost comes before you are prepared for it, you can easily pick the basket up and bring the whole design indoors without needing to dismantle it. The only thing I would do differently with this idea is to add more color. I love deep reds and dark oranges in my plants this time of year.

The first thing that you notice in this idea is the bright orange pumpkin that is positioned right in the front center of the planter, which makes it a perfect idea for the month of October. The second item that catches my eye is the planter itself. It features a beautiful bowl-like shape that looks slightly discolored from age.
2. Slate Grey Planters

The first aspect of this design that catches your eye is the magnificent maroon coloration of the leaves. The traditional green leaves can also be seen, and they create a contrast of colors that is out of this world. In addition, the container features a delicately crosshatched design that makes it an even more interesting idea.

The idea in the next image features a potted plant that is wild and untamed. It is a stone planter that is filled with orange, yellow, and lavender miniature flowers that bloom from small narrow stems. The design looks a little outlandish, but it is charming nonetheless.

The flower presentation in this next image is rather stunning. There are a lot of red and orange flowers that are placed closely together in rustic-looking planters. The flowers are perfectly trimmed, but the flower pots are a bit worn, which gives them a beautiful antique look.

The large gourd in the middle of this basket planter is perfect for the season. Fall is not all about orange colored pumpkins, and this idea shows this gourd at its best. There are also white daisies in the basket to brighten up the basket and add some contrast to the green leaves.
14. Succulent Heaven

Succulents are perfect for cooler weather, and arranging them in a large clay pot like the one seen here can give you a lot of options. The clay pot is not perfect, but the imperfections in it add to the design.

The first thing of notice in the next idea is the brightly colored flowers, but the planter is the real prize to look at. It is a cement planter that has green and yellow accents on the surface. It looks old and weather worn, but that is part of its charm.
