Pumpkin Centerpieces
Fall is a fabulous time to get married, the heat of the summer is over, the leaves on the trees are beginning to show off their beautiful autumn colors and life seems to slow down a bit. That is except for the bride. You are in the midst of finalizing all of your last minute details. Checking on the wedding cake, favors, transportation, and your seating chart. So now your attention is turned to your table centerpieces. OK, let’s discuss a few details about using pumpkins for your wedding reception table arrangements.
You can choose to place fresh, dried or silk flowers in the center of your pumpkin. Remember to put a little cold water in the bottom of the pumpkin just prior to adding the flowers if you are using fresh flowers. Placing a small potted plant inside the pumpkin is another great idea to create fabulous pumpkin centerpieces.
Placing autumn colored leaves around the base of the pumpkin will dress up the look of your pumpkin centerpieces while not adding too much to the cost of your table arrangement. Setting the pumpkin on a mirror or fall colored piece of fabric will add another dimension to your centerpiece. You can also surround the main pumpkin with smaller pumpkins or gourds. Arranging small votive candles around the pumpkin will add a touch or romance to your reception room. Using apple, cinnamon, vanilla or ginger scented candles will emit a wonderful aroma to your room. If using a fresh pumpkin doesn’t delight you, check out the craft stores and see if they have any wire pumpkins that you can decorate to your liking. You can also purchase 14 inch pumpkin decorated plates and place gourds, Indian corn, acorns, colored leaves, candles or candy wrapped in autumn colors to be used as your table decoration. Be creative and let your imagination help you create your delightful pumpkin centerpieces. Check out my links below for more interesting ideas.
