Wedding Wednesdays: Oh My Gourd

Fall activities are in full effect! Pumpkin picking, pumpkin carving, baking with all things pumpkin. But if you're getting married this season, it's also the perfect time to incorporate pumpkins into your wedding decor. Here are some fabulous fall ideas that'll have your guests saying "oh my gourd, how cute!" on your special day!

Aisle Decor

Line your aisle with a few pumpkins in varying sizes and colors for ceremony decor. Consider punching holes or carving a minimalist design into the pumpkins and adding candles for totally efficient and seamlessly integrated lighting. If you're going for a more understated look, arrange mini pumpkins with bunches of flowers or candles, so you get a hint of the season without allowing it to steal the show.

Mr. and Mrs. Pumpkins

Perfect to use in any photo opp, this duo is timeless! Consider crafty, no-carve alternatives like washi tape, push pins, rhinestones, burlap, lace or glitter. And take full advantage of the stalk—tie something fun around them for a more bridal look, like white tulle or strips of lace.

Escort Card Table

Almost functioning as a paper-weight, you won't have to worry about these escort cards flying away! Whether you paint them or stick with their natural coloring, this petite pumpkins are sure to make a great display. Either tie some "leaves" around stalks with names on them or cut a little slit into the top of each pumpkin to slide the escort card into.

Centerpieces

With or without flowers, this pumpkin patch-inspired look really ties in to any fall theme. Placing a cluster of little pumpkins on a pedestal fancies them up a little bit, but still keeps the tabletop looking casual. If you want to go the flower route, hollow out a bigger pumpkin and use it as a vase. Both are understated yet stunning!

It's never easy picking the perfect pumpkin but picking how to incorporate it into your wedding day definitely seems a lot simpler! Get inspired by these gourds and devour the details of your decor this fall!
