October is here, and it is the season of pumpkin! It”s easy to incorporate pumpkins into your wedding, and they are as affordable as they are stylish. Whether you want a country style fall wedding or an elegant autumn affair, there are many ways to add the classic look – and taste – of pumpkins into your special day.
Centerpieces
Carve your names or initials into the pumpkin, then place a candle or light inside. Nestle them atop a bed of fall leaves, stems, or flowers, or arrange mini gourds and some fall foliage around them.
Soup, Pie, Fritters, or Cookies
Pinterest is a great place to find recipes; just use the search feature and you will find an abundance of delicious, mouth-watering fall-flavor treats!
Food Servers
Cookies, soup, and other assorted pumpkin dishes can be served inside a hollowed out pumpkin shell.
Pumpkin Patch
Design a modern pumpkin patch with varying sizes, and invite guests to take one home with them.
Spice Drinks
From pumpkin flavored eggnog and cocoa to lattes and smoothies, you can find any pumpkin cocktail and drink recipe imaginable online.
Place Cards
Add names of guests using stencils, and draw them in with a gold or silver pen.
Decorations
Place carved and lighted pumpkins along a walkway to the ceremony site, the reception site, or down the wedding aisle.
Wedding Favors
Packets of pumpkin seeds, pumpkin scented candles, or a jar filled with pumpkin cocoa packets are all excellent fall wedding favor ideas.
Get Creative
Walk through your ceremony and reception sites and find where you can place a large pumpkin of some mini ones. Look for shelves, tables, nooks, crannies, lofts, bookshelves, potted plants, and other unique spots where you can creatively place the rotund seasonal gourd.
