The Allure of the White Pumpkin

White pumpkins are becoming increasingly more popular for fall weddings.  Maybe it's the allure of the romantic white shade that makes these adorable accessories a must-have item.  Maybe it's simply the fact that white is an easier color to match than their staple orange counterpart.  Whatever the reason, we aren't complaining.

For fall, we love the idea of choose a neutral color palette of creams and whites splashed with simple bronze accents.  To pull this look together, use any of our inspiration ideas below. White pumpkins look great when used as centerpieces, as decor for your cake/card table, and when used as guest favors or place card holders.  For a unique twist, consider hollowing out a pumpkin to use as your flower girl basket and ring bearer pillow.  You can even modge podge a white pumpkin with a pattern (shown left) for a splash of color and added interest.  (For a tutorial on this creative technique, visit budgetwisehome.com.)  Enjoy!

Add Flair to Your Fall Wedding with Glam Pumpkins

It's hard to contest that Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year to get married. The temperate weather, gorgeous foliage and feelings of comfort that the season brings creates the perfect setting for a wedding! As your autumn wedding plans come together consider an elegant twist on the traditional for decor at your event. Who wouldn't think of using pumpkins at their fall wedding? While usually these plump, orange beauties are more at home at a country festival or Halloween celebration, they can also be dressed up, just as your guests will be, on your big day. Whether your celebration is being held in an old charming barn or a grand ballroom, glamorous pumpkins are perfect for a rustic, elegant fall wedding. 

When decorating for your wedding, utilize pumpkins and gourds in all shapes, sizes, and colors for added interest. Cover in glitter, sparkle dust, metallic paint and accessorize with vintage brooches and gleaming satin ribbons. Cluster the glittering gourds and oh-so-pretty pumpkins together on side tables and stack them on pedestals for centerpieces. Line up miniature pumpkins with attached place cards on a front table to direct guests to their seats or cut out the center of large pumpkins to use as vases for floral centerpieces. I love the look of an all white arrangement! There are so many options for showcasing these glamorous fall delights at your wedding and you will no doubt want to use some of these ideas for your Thanksgiving table later in the season!
