the great pumpkin wedding!


Pumpkins are just a wonderful eye-catching fall decoration so why shouldn't they find their way into your fall wedding? There are a plethora of sophisticated ways to use this orange gourd besides carving it up into a jack-o-lantern. One of my favorites is this clever flower vase above (from Martha Stewart)! I just love the look of the white pumpkin for a wedding.

Or how about turning a mini-pumpkin into a romantic autumn votive holder? These would really pop on the guest's tables or maybe the buffet table at an intimate autumn wedding at home(Country Living).


Another fun way to use the mini pumpkin is in the place setting--isn't this just lovely? (Country Living)


Or perhaps you'd like to put a little glitz into your harvest wedding--why not sparkle up your pumpkins with a little glitter-nothing more! (from Southern Whimsy)


And who would dare mistake these elegant luminaries for your average old jack-o-lantern? (from Martha Stewart of course).


And finally (from The Wedding Fanatic) pumpkins look great just as they are just about anywhere: here, lining the aisle--very cool!



Though I found many smart ways of using pumpkins in the wedding, I failed to find any whimsical pumpkins painted like the bride and groom! I thought this might be a fun surprise to have beside the guest book, but even a google image search turned up dry! Guess I might have to take this one to the workshop! Meanwhile, if anyone finds painted bride and groom pumpkin pictures, (woo, that was a mouthful!)let me know!

  1. Superb pumpkins ideas!! Have never seen such great pumpkin ideas. Surely will have it for my wedding that will be arranged at New York wedding venues. Will ask my wedding vendors if they could have this idea for the day.
