Update #3: Inexpensive plastic pots, painted your trim color, lend visual continuity to plantings.
Placement is key: Low saucers on each side of the steps define this area as the entrance without being bulky and in the way. The large pot on the corner anchors the area between the front door and the front walk.
Two to Four Weeks Before:
Purchase plastic pots.
One Week Before:
Paint pots to match house shutter color (two coats). - Next: Bringing It All Together
