Enchanted Forest

Continuing on the outdoor trend, if garden themes seem to classic or feminine for your taste consider the mystical alternative of an enchanted forest. This theme is straight out of a fairy tale or magical fantasy novel. This décor theme is encompassed by delicate wild flowers, bold greenery, hardwoods and moss.
