Three Eye-Catching Tricks to Decorating with Pumpkins

We’re in the midst of the fall wedding season, and whether your special day is just around the corner or you’re already jumping into your 2015 autumn celebration plans, there are few accents in your decorative scheme that will pop quite like pumpkins!

Aside from the obvious brightness of the gourd, pumpkins are extremely versatile and can do a little bit of everything for your fall wedding décor. If you don’t know where to start, check out a few of these great ideas that we’ve seen couples pull off beautifully at The Park Savoy Estate.

 

1.     Pumpkin Centerpieces

A pumpkin centerpiece is a fabulous addition to your guest tables at the reception or even your cocktail hour, and there’s an unlimited amount of designs you can work with. First and foremost, you should consider a small light to place inside of the pumpkin to give it the traditional jack ‘o lantern look, and then put together flowers, fruits, branches and other seasonal additions to burst out of the top of the piece to adorn spots throughout your wedding venue.

 

2.     Specialty Carvings

Do you have a bridesmaid or groomsman with an artistic side? He or she would be the perfect person to carve intricate patterns into the sides of pumpkins that can decorate your wedding reception hall! You can find a design that will fit into nearly any wedding theme, and if the orange pumpkin doesn’t exactly suit your decorations, you can always paint the gourds beforehand and then use them as a backdrop for elegant carvings!

 

3.     Patterned Pumpkins

Last but not least, one of the easiest ways to create a jaw-dropping accent for any portion of your wedding celebration is to take a piece of fabric like lace or other cut-out pattern and wrap it around the outside of the pumpkin. Spray paint with the color of your choice and then remove the wrapping to receive a pumpkin that will add a whimsical touch to your wedding décor! This is a quick and easy DIY project that will allow you to incorporate an item that everyone will expect at a fall wedding, but reinvented with your own personal style.
