When someone hears the word autumn usually the first things that come to mind are fallen leaves, woolly scarves, hot drinks and
pumpkins. Lots and lots of pumpkins, the season is not complete without them. If
your big day is close to or on Halloween pumpkins are expected to make an appearance.
If you are looking to include this seasonal vegetable in your wedding but are not
sure how to or even how much or how little to add we can help. Below are a list
of ways to bring them into the event.
Wedding stationery
If you do not actually want to include
a real pumpkin you can always have
them in your stationary like the wedding
invites, seating cards or the menus.
Or all of them as it is quite a subtle way of
incorporating them so you can have it
as a running theme for all your wedding
stationery.
Centrepieces
Hollowed out pumpkins will also
make wonderful centrepieces
painted or unpainted. As the
evening draws in light them up
with scented candles and this will
cast a lovely warm glow. They can
have some designs carved into
them such as Mr. & Mrs. Or have
mini pumpkins among your chosen
centrepiece.
Aisle decoration
If you are looking to include actual
physical pumpkins in the decor you
can line small ones all along the aisle
either hollowed out and lit with candles
or decorated with a light material and
flowers or grapevines. It adds a certain
rustic elegance which is perfect for
an autumnal wedding.
Pumpkin Vases
This might sound a bit odd but it is a
very innovative way to include them.
It is also very straightforward, simply
hollow out the pumpkin and place
a bouquet of flowers inside. To make
the pumpkin compliment the
flowers paint them in different
colours like white or gold and if you
want something really eye-catching
cover them in glitter!
