What areas in Des Moines do you serve for Christmas decorations?

We provide professional Christmas decorations and holiday decorating services throughout Des Moines, West Des Moines, Waukee, Clive, Urbandale, Cumming, Ankeny, Johnston, and surrounding Central Iowa communities. Contact us to confirm service availability in your specific area.

What's included in your Christmas decoration services?

Our full-service Christmas decorating includes professional design consultation, premium wreaths and garland, custom color coordination, expert installation, and post-season takedown. We handle everything from elegant front door wreaths to full porch displays with garland and seasonal accents. Purchased add-on décor is yours to keep; Christmas light installation and off-season storage are separate services.

Do you also offer fall porch decorating with pumpkins?

Yes. We style fall entries with classic and heirloom pumpkins selected for your porch. Iowa Harvest offers a choice of one accent — seasonal mums, cornstalks, or reclaimed wood boards — while Des Moines Showcase offers two signature accents. Fall pumpkin removal is available for $100 with any fall package.

How far in advance should I book holiday decorating services?

We recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance for Christmas decorations, especially during peak season in November and early December. For fall pumpkin displays, booking in early September ensures the best selection and preferred installation dates.

What makes Front Porch Collective different from other decorating services?

We combine professional design expertise with premium, locally-sourced materials. Every installation is customized to your home's style and photographed for quality assurance. We're a Des Moines-based, woman-owned business that prioritizes both beauty and convenience.

Can I customize my decoration colors and style?

Yes! We offer fully customized designs to match your home's aesthetic. Whether you prefer traditional red and green, elegant neutrals, modern metallics, or colorful displays, we'll create a look that complements your home. We provide color palette consultations with every booking.

Our Story

Front Porch Collective was born from a simple truth: the porch is the soul of the home.

A Mother's Legacy

My mother was the lead designer at Seasonal Concepts, with a gift for seeing potential in every space. She taught me that great design creates the backdrop for life's important moments.

The Call Home

After years on the West Coast, I felt a pull back to my Iowa roots. Not just to the place where I grew up, but to the values: community, connection, and the simple beauty of a life well-lived.

Iowa Values, Beautiful Results

I'm building Front Porch Collective to honor my mother's legacy while creating something bold and uniquely Iowa. Professional seasonal decorating that reflects our heartland heritage.

"Your front porch isn't just decoration—it's your home's handshake with the community. Every space should become a place where neighbors connect and Iowa values come alive."

— Our founding design philosophyRead our full story

Front Porch Collective founder Samantha - professional seasonal porch decorating Des Moines Iowa

Meet the Designer

The Creative Force Behind Every Porch

With a mother who served as lead designer at Seasonal Concepts and over two decades of design heritage, our founder brings artistic vision and Iowa values to every project. Each installation is a reflection of the homeowner's personality, brought to life through thoughtful, collaborative design.

From fall pumpkin displays to full Christmas home installations, every detail is considered — creating spaces that feel refined, authentic, and built to inspire.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

"I was skeptical about hiring someone to decorate my porch, but the moment I saw the transformation, I understood. This isn't just decoration—it's art. My neighbors have been stopping by all week just to compliment how beautiful everything looks."

— Sarah Johnson, West Des Moines

"We've always been the DIY type, but after our third failed attempt at arranging pumpkins that didn't look like a grocery store display, we called Front Porch Collective. Best decision we made this fall."

— Mike & Jennifer Chen, Ankeny

"The founder's story really resonated with me as someone who also moved around and came back to Iowa. You can tell this is more than just a business to her—it's a mission. The attention to detail shows in every pumpkin placement."

— Lisa Martinez, Waukee

"I run a busy orthodontic practice and simply don't have time for seasonal decorating. Front Porch Collective not only saved me hours but created something far more beautiful than I ever could have."

— David Thompson, Urbandale
